Volvo XC70 V70 Prices Paid

toddw · November 2004

Hello,

  Title says it all. Local dealer is offering an '01 V70XC 2.4T with about 55K miles for $17500. Has leather, CD, cassette, heated seats, sun roof. We'd like either booster seats and/or third row (doesn't have either), but could forego the former or add the latter if necessary. Clean, with clean carfax (was a rental, with one rental car agency). 3mo/3K mi warranty from dealer.

  Our big gripe is that it's LOUD; road noise, like what you get with 'grave digger' souped up off road trucks. Think it may be the Scorpion tires. Would only buy if we could finagle a deal in which I could replace the tires first, to see how it sounds (yeah, I'd be willing to swallow some cost, if this is really a good deal).

  What do you all think?

  Thanks,

  Todd

Hi, well, looks like the 1993 850 is going to need about $1400 worth of repairs. I was hoping she'd last 'til Fall of '05, but alas, it looks as if the hearse needs to be called.

Been checking here for Manu-to-Consumer or Manu-to-Dealer rebates, but I don't see any. Can you verify that there's none available? (I did see that there is some special financing avail) but we're more interested in the cash back.

Thanks!!

wyatt · December 2004

I am looking for feedback on whether or not this would be considered a reasonable purchase price for the XC70, 2005 model. This would be a factory ordered car.

Base-32,756

Frght-685

Met Paint-387

Climate Pkg-537

Prem Pkg-2575

Conv Pkg-683

Wood St. Wheel-279

Bi-Xenon lights-602

16" Xenia Wheels-258

Sirus Sat Prep-55

HuU 850 Stereo/6 CD Changer-1032

Park Asst-344

DSTC-597

Int. Air Quality-150

Dealer Ad fee-250

$41,190

+ 3% over invoice ($1235.70) (see above prices, all are invoice prices)

or a total of $42,425.70

This compares to MSRP of $44,220.

I need to make a decision fairly quickly. Also, dealer advises that Volvo is hiking prices by $500 the first of the year. Has anyone heard about the price hike?

Thanks for your input.

The manufacturer-to-dealer incentive on the XC70 through January 3 is $1500, so in your example the real dealer cost is $39,690, meaning you'd be paying nearly a 7% markup. Nothing to write home (or to the forum) about, IMHO. If you were negotiating on one on the lot, and they were in tight supply (don't know if they are; I'll be in the market for a 2.5T shortly), maybe 7% would be worth it. But you'd be paying for something the dealer didn't purchase and wouldn't have to finance. I think you could do better. Have you gotten quotes from dealers, or is this the most you'd be willing to pay?

wyatt · December 2004

There is ONE dealer in town. I thought I was being a smart buyer; I should have known. I have never been good at this! The dealer has them all over the lot; some are loaded, but not the way I want them to be. They've got one on the lot right now that has a booster seat, I don't want that. This car also does not have the Xenon head lamps and I want those. But it is the right color inside and out, and has the other equipment I want, except for the CD changer. I would like to upgrade the stereo, but apparently that requires an Act of God, too. They tell me that they can find one w/the headlamps that is not too far away, but again, it has that booster seat. I do not want to pay for something I do not want. Am I being unreasonable? What do you suggest? They are showing this car at MSRP, around $42000 +/-.

This dealer also did NOT mention the $1500 incentives, nor did he mention the Lease offer I have seen on another board. All he did was flash "monthly" payments under my nose. Really turned me off. But I thought I did my homework, and obviously, I did not do enough of it!

I also had the dealer evaluate my 2001 BMW for purposes of determining trade in $$$, and this car is in very good to excellent condition. The dealer low balled me on that, too. So far, this has not been a very pleasant buying experience, but that is usually the case for me.

I REALLY appreciate your input/help. Thanks!

wyatt · December 2004

Negative:

Is this incentive applied to MSRP or to Invoice cost? Should the dealer have disclosed this to me?

negative · December 2004

Wyatt,

It sounds like you WERE being a smart buyer. Unfortunately, Volvo keeps a lid on the manufacturer-to-dealer incentives, and the information is not widely available on the Internet. I know of only one other car-related site that reports them, which I don't think I'm allowed to mention here. How they get their information isn't clear, but it seems to track with what other buyers have reported.

The dealer has every right not to tell you anything about the incentive. However, if he doesn't tell you, or if he doesn't adjust his price accordingly, he runs the risk of your feeling "taken" once you find out. And that could mean bad word-of-mouth for him later. I'm sure some salesmen don't care about that, since many don't stay with the same dealer that long.

The incentive is a reduction from invoice price. So if the invoice on a car is $35,000 and the the incentive is $1500, the dealer's ultimate cost is $33,500, not allowing for advertising fees, etc. I'm not sure how the dealer is paid. I believe that he receives the payment from the manufacturer only after you buy the car.

I would extend my search to other dealers not in your town. Getting quotes from other dealers even if not in your immediate area is the best way to know if the prices demanded by the in-town dealer are competitive. If you're in a hurry to buy before Jan. 1, consider taking some time off next week (like the rest of the world) and do some serious haggling with other dealers, in person, by phone or by e-mail. If they're not too far away, you might consider purchasing from them, or using the information as leverage with the nearby dealer.

wyatt · December 2004

It always "pays to ask". Your helpful response has made me prepare a list of out of town dealers, and I will be on the phone early Monday morning. Thank goodness, I have next week off and can shop around. I know that I probably should have done that first.

negative · December 2004

Good luck, and let us know how much you pay.

I am waiting until January or February. I am betting the incentives will rise, because few people feel like car shopping then. I hope I'm right.

wyatt · December 2004

But what about the $500 price increase that is coming 1/1/05? Does this not influence your decision as to when you will make your purchase? I do not need to hurry to replace my current car. I **thought** I needed to hurry to get my so called "good deal". There are 3 other dealers within 2 hours from my home, so I will be contacting them early next week and will see what they have to offer.

On another note...

Have you (or other forum members)test driven the 2005 XC70? I kept one overnight and had a chance to drive in daylight and at night, and in a rainstorm. The car handles nicely. I did not have a chance to play with all of the bells and whistles. But I did notice that the seat heater is very poor/has a weak heating element. I can barely tell it's on. I also noticed that the door locks do not automatically engage when you get under way. Is this an after purchase setting that you can opt for? And does anyone know if the locking mechanism has an audible beep/horn sound when opening or closing? I like this feature on my current car. Along with flashing tail lights, it has helped me find then car when it is parked in one of those gigantic parking lots at the airport, etc. I also noticed the "rain sensor" wipers are a bit weak, too. Not nearly as responsive as others have been on other cars. Can anyone comments on these or other features, both good and bad?

larsca · December 2004

The price hike will only affect vehicles ordered from factory after said date. Vehicles already on dealer's lots will not be affected. It's a risk, but there could be some good deals to be made at end of January. It will likely vary widely depending on dealers and regions.

As for the locking. First off, no, Volvos do not beep when you lock or unlock. If you can't find your car on a big parking lot you'll have to press the panic button to set off the alarm. Not nice to other people, but oh well...

Your dealer can set up the vehicle to lock its doors when you hit 10 or 15 MPH. This isn't something you can do yourself, dealer have to do it.

As for seat heaters and rain sensing wipers... Thos I know nothing about.

wyatt · December 2004

Thanks for your input, Larsca.

Today I got word from an out of town dealer that he could sell me an 2005 XC70 with the Premium, Climate, and Convenience packages and the car also has the Bi-Xenon headlamps. He is quoting a price of $39,052, minus the $1500 incentive for a final price of $37552.00. I think this is a pretty good price. Anyone care to comment?

rubycar · December 2004

Looking at pre-owned XCs in Central New York (Syracuse)and found a nice 2004 with Premium, Convienence and Climate package, 15K miles, white, for $33995. Initial "offer" from dealer was $32995. Then we offered $29995 (I know, low, but worth a shot!), they said no way could they get that low. Came back with $32700, then $32,500. That's where we stand. We really would like to be around $31. Is this unrealistic? Should we hold out? Salesperson keeps telling me she only has "hundreds" to work with and that's it. Any opinions?

bing330i · December 2004

From my observation, cars, used or new, in east coast tend to be more expensive than in Calif, where I moved from. About a month ago, I talked to a lady who finally sold her 04 XC70 with almost all options except Xenon for $27k at mileage 20k. At that time, there was another seller for a similar car asking for $29k but only 5k miles.

I know dealers charge more than private parties, but if you do a search in cars.com with 150 miles within zip 92677, you should be able to find some cars with similar miles and options (in Power Irvine Volvo) lower than your dealer's asking, if you can get the car back to the east.

If I were you, I'd hold the purchase. I think in winter XC is more in demand. Also, with more newer design of 05 XC70s, 01-04 should have more lower pricing pressure with time.

wyatt · December 2004

Can anyone shed some light on what I should expect a dealer to charge me when he has located a car that meets my criteria, but has located this car on the other coast, but will transport it to his dealership?

Since this car is not already on his lot, how does this affect his holdback?

I REALLY would appreciate some help from those of you in the "brain trust" .

Many thanks.

bigbandito · December 2004

Locally in my area, there are some 2004 XC70's with an Internet Price of $30,295. The price started at $34,995, and they keep lowering it. You could print one of these deals out and give it to your dealer as a bargaining tool. Look at www.volvovillage.com. This is in Clearwater Florida. The XC70 isn't very "hot" down here, so your dealer may bring that up.

rroyce10 · December 2004

.... **From my observation, cars, used or new, in east coast tend to be more expensive than in Calif ** ....

Actually, it's the other way around, the miles is what does it ... Left Coasters will pay the same money for a 25k vehicle that a East coaster will spend on a 12k vehicle, the higher mileage is what the Left Coasters live with ..............

Terry.

calch · January 2005

Shipping a car coast to coast is likely to cost you significantly. I would try to have them search incoming cars in a 300 mile radius.

We bought a V70 at the end of the year in Silicon Valley. The car was transported up from the LA area (Irvine) and the price was $550 for one car going down and one coming up. Since this is not coast to coast, I assume your dealer will have to pay a few hundred more. If they do not swap cars, the price will probably be similar. Have them show you the quote from the shipping agent.

I believe the dealer initiating the deal has to pay for the shipping, but am not sure how exactly that works. The shipping did not influence my purchase price (MSRP of 41,855 sold for 37,000, which was $350 below carsdirect), so I am not sure whether the dealer had to really bear all of the cost. Also think Volvo dealers make 5-7% on the back end, so there will be plenty to make up for the shipping. When they buy a car from another dealer though, rather than trading, they loose some of the back-end and that makes the deal less attractive to them.

I did not get into the hold-back, since if the car is traded between dealerships, they have to pay the hold-back on the car that is traded.

Hope that helps.

wyatt · January 2005

Thank you for sharing your experience and information. It will be of help to me.

sugaree · January 2005

Howdy... I'm lookin at 99 V70 5-speed with 92,000 miles for about $7000. This is under blue book and the car seems in GREAT shape (would prefer leather, but stick is more important to me...) Any feedback? This will be my first Volvo and I'm counting on that "live forever" reputation of theirs! Thanks!

Kirstie_H · January 2005

Since this isn't a new vehicle, you might want to post in Real-World Trade-In Values to get some feedback. Make sure you include all of the information about the prospective purchase, including your city & state.

wyatt · January 2005

Greetings everyone. I am trying to purchase a fully loaded XC70. The dealer tells me that he cannot locate one of these cars with all of the options I would like close by (east coast.) The few he could find would involve a transportation coast of about $1400. So, rather than pay for that, I am considering factory ordering the car.

My question about incentives---the dealer tells me that incentives in effect at the time the car arrives at the dealership would be honored, BUT, he could not tell me what those incentives would be. Apparently the current incentive program would not apply to a factory ordered car. So how in the world could we arrive at a purchase price? Also, are incentives applied against MSRP ONLY? I see all of these manufacturers offering incentives, but I do not quite understand how/where they are applied. Can someone shed some light on this?

My second question, factory ordering. Has anyone done this with their Volvo? I did it with my current car, a BMW, but at the time I purchased it, there was NO negotiating price, and there were no incentives, so the issue of incentives/negotiating never arose. The experience was pleasant. I even got a call to tell me what time the tractor trailer was pulling in the dealership, and saw the car off loaded; it was all wrapped up in shrink wrap. A very good experience. And fun; it was my first European car and all that.

Anyway, I'd love some feedback. I am vacillating between purchasing this car (XC70) or a fully loaded Pacifica. It seems that there are not all that many Pacifica Limited's either, but they are not nearly as scarce as a loaded XC70.

Thanks.

calch · January 2005

Wyatt,

with incentives you should be able to get a price below invoice.

In our case for a V70, here are the numbers:

MSRP 41,855

Invoice 38,750 (approximately don't remember exactly)

Carsdirect 37,400

Buying Price 37,000 (including Advertising fees of $250 in our area)

With the factory to dealer incentives, the dealer gets the car by that much cheaper. With the $2500 on the V70s the effective invoice price for the dealer is approx. $36,250 (38,750-2500). So in our case the dealer still made about $500 on the front end of this car (37,000 selling price - 36,250 effective invoice - 250 Ad fee = 500). So make the incentives work for you. Check carsdirect.com or edmunds to see what prices are like in your area.

Regarding a loaded XC70, we had the same problem. We looked at XC70 initially, but my wife preferred fuel economy and ride of V70. In CA don't really need the AWD either. We really wanted a nav system and were surprised how few cars there were around. Dealer suggested that only 10% of Volvo buyers want a nav, so not many have it. In the end we got a car that was close, but did compromise on the equipment. Am surprised that most Volvos come so bare considering they are supposed to be higher end cars.

The dealer can also install many of the options, although some are prohibitively expensive. Our dealer would have installed the nav for $2500, but got estimates up to $4400 for it at other places, so cost really varies. We also have the upgraded stereo and with all the speakers, etc. dealer would have charged a ridiculous price. But dealer can install 10 CD changer in the trunk. So talk to your dealer and see what he can do. Dealer options have a huge margin on it. For example the dealer quoting us $2500 for the nav started at $3500. We did not really want dealer installed equipment, so had to search around a bit.

BTW, initially we shopped around for E-class and had the same problems, could not find a nav and color we wanted, so that seems to be a common problem. Just all the Japanese high end brands seem to have them fairly standard.

wyatt · January 2005

You were so kind to reply and very generous with your reply. Very much appreciated!

Here's the most recent "offer" by my dealer for a factory ordered xc70 since apparently nowhere in America does a car w/this equipment exist:

climate package,premium package, convenience package,bi-xenon headlamps, metallic paint, wood steering wheel, 16 inch xenia wheels, satellite radio pre-wiring,HU-850 stereo, park assist, DSTC, Interior air quality system.

He goes on to say:

The MSRP for such a vehicle would be $44,820 (based on the Volvo price list for 2005) We are prepared to offer you a sales price of $42,552 plus tax and title. This amounts to about 2.3 per cent over cost. We also will offer you any available factory-to dealer incentive that is available when you pick up your car. Currently, that incentive is $2000, which would drive your price to $40,552 plus taxes. There is a good chance that we will still have a factory incentive when you pick up this car. It could possibly even be more than $2000, but it could also be less. Volvo does not allow the dealers to lock in the dealer incentives, but I would not be surprised if it was still around $2000.

If you decide to finance this car, we should be able to arrange bank financing for you in the mid to upper 4 per cent range. This is assuming today's rates for the best credit."

Any feedback?

jah3z · January 2005

wasn't planning on writing to anyone till I saw your letter. I hope that I'm not too late. DO NOT BUY THAT CAR. We purchased a 99 XC70 brand new 5 years ago. Love the car but hate the extra $2700 we've put in the car repairing expensive engine oil leaks. two of them ($1500), computer chip replacements (1200.00). Save your money and look into the 2002-2003 models. Supposedly, Volvo has improved on the computer problems. I don't know if they've improve the engine seal problems. Good Luck if I didn't get this Advice to you soon enough.

madmaynard · January 2005

Loaded...leather, 3rd seat, sunroof, computer, tinted windows, cold wx pkg, 19,000 miles...$30,000 in April 2004...FYI

(sold my nephew the 1997 850 w/115,000 for 6K...gave him the fam discount...)

tom21769 · February 2005

Have you tried plugging your specs into the Edmunds TMV estimator? I came up with $40,516 as "what others are paying"in my region (Baltimore/Washington/Mid-Atlantic).

So, it looks like you'd be in the same ball park if the incentives really do apply.

If I were you, I'd ask what's the closest car to your specs they can find, compromise on some of the options (wooden steering? xenia wheels?), take the same or better per cent over cost, and lock in the current factory incentive.

zsteve1 · March 2005

Recently I've looked at a 2000 V70XC with automatic transmission. I was surprised to learn that after 42,000 miles the car had had a new engine, turbo, and oil pump installed. Since that time it has only been driven 100 miles, and the owner is trying to sell it. The owner told me the original oil pump was defective (It didn't pump oil to one of the cylinders.). Since you recommended that "Stick shift" avoid the 1999 model above, should I be suspicious of this 2000 unit as well? I've never owned a Volvo; were there problems with oil leaks that need to e avoided? I'd appreciate you feedback.

Sylvia · March 2005

I'm sorry, this discussion is about Prices Paid & Buying Experiences. Your question really belongs in the main Volvo V70 / XC70 discussion where it can be answered.

dead_saab_guy · March 2005

I got mine for about $2800 under invoice. (Premium, Weather, Sirrius, metallic paint)

winnwell · March 2005

Is this a good deal for a new fully-loaded XC70 AWD(with third row option): 36 month lease, 12K miles per year, $2,500 down and $485 month? Please advise. Thanks.

douginma · March 2005

Looking @ a base V70 and a dealership in RI is telling me that Volvo's offering a $5K bonus on base V70s (I know, I know, I should consider a higher V70 model, but this is what we're considering)

Has anyone else heard of this??? Edmunds doesn't list it in the Rebates area (I would think it would be listed under the M-to-D rebate area but there's no mention of this anywhere in the Incentives area)

If this is true, I think we'll buy now rather than in the fall.

With the x-plan pricing, base 2.4 with auto and metallic comes out to slightly over 25K which I think is a heckuva deal.

itrolls · March 2005

I don't see any rebates out there now. Let me know if you confirm this. 5k rebate was available last august. Can u wait another 5 months?

douginma · March 2005

Here's the body of his email:

Thank you for your email. The problem with the Internet is there may be some inconsistencies. I will price out the entire car using a Volvo Pricing List which is how we build our cars. Every dealer has updated pricing since Jan. 1st.

Cost: 2005 V70 2.4 27418
metallic paint...408
auto....1000
destination.....695
advertising....250

Dealer invoice equals....29771

X-plan is 2% over cost....so add 595

Your cost = 30366.42

- $5000 = 25366.42 dead cost (not sure what he meant by "dead cost")

We have no way of telling what programs will change for the months to come. That is so dealers can not sand bag and forecast deals for the coming months. I would THINK this 5k program will stick around but there is no way of telling.

if1 · April 2005

Anyone buy a v70R lately?
Considering one, but curious as to what others have paid.

Thanks

keithand · April 2005

Very nice car. Had 04 RX330 too and sold it as only needed 1 car and we chose the Volvo over it for its more sporty feel etc.

Leased 0 down, 36 months 12k miles for 550. with tax.

Black over taupe (not beige), xenia wheels, bi-xenons, DSTC, boosters seats, climate and prem. package. Think thats it. Raised light height as too low from factory and much better and farther lighting accomplished. 12k miles in 1.5 yrs (retired at 48 now 51) and drive mainly between our 2 homes in FL/MI.

Great gas mileage and quality car.

Highly recommend although can hardly wait to get Chrysler 300C when the lease is up.

drewxc · April 2005

Does anyone know if Leasing a 2005 XC70 would qualify for the below dealer incentive:

$2000 Dealer bonus is available ONLY on vehicles that are listed on "Base Car" Sell-down Bonus Vehicle Eligibility List. See dealer for list.
Thanks

blueovalnut · April 2005

I just wanted to post a message regarding the dealership experience that I have
experienced over the last 3 months at Volvo of Tacoma at Fife.

My wife totalled our '02 Lincoln LS V8 on 1-6-05. We loved the car, it was
gorgeous and a blast to drive. However, our needs had changed. She wanted to
consider SUV's and wagons, I wanted to consider wagons and minivans. We are
going to be starting a family in the next 2-3 years so safety was a big issue.

Having agreed to look almost exclusively at wagons and small SUV's we wound up
driving 27 vehicles in 3 weeks. We drove 5 different V70's over the course of 4
visits to the dealer. They were always happy to accomodate us and seemed eager
to answer any questions or concerns that we had. To their credit they were never
pushy or asked for our sale. Their entire approach was to be available to answer
whatever questions we had and allow us to make our decision on our timetable.

We wound up ordering a V70 2.5T on January 29th. It arrived on April 20th at the
dealership at which time the general manager called to inform me that it had
just come off of the transporter and that I was welcome to come look it over and
expect that it would be ready for delivery within about 24hrs. We went back the
next day and the red carpet treatment continued through the F&I and delivery
processes.

I would highly recommend the entire facility without reservation. Our sales representative and the factory/european delivery liaison were particularly wonderful to deal with. I had stopped at one other Volvo dealer during our shopping process and was treated rather poorly. My only guess is that the salesperson at that facility was not convinced that a 30 year old was a potential sale for a $40K+ vehicle. I had a similar experience (27 years old) when we initially started shopping for our $43K LS. The salesperson that treated us with respect and decency made out quite well I believe.

If you are interested in dealing with our specific sales people, send me an email and I will be glad to provide you with their info.

rlinfan1 · May 2005

Seems that we missed the $3000 manufacturer to dealer incentive. In the past have they traditionally returned later in the model year?

gl70hha · May 2005

Is there a overseas delivery for VW?
I'm not able to find anything about this?
Any help will be greatelly appreciated.

wally6 · May 2005

Re: price paid for a V70R, I'm happy to report there's an 05 safely tucked in my garage as of about 5 weeks ago. Mine is a black (which looks great w/the blue leather seats and interior accents), 6 speed, w/premium and climate package. I leased through Chase. There's seems to be a major incentive through Volvo to lease (at least this vehicle) through Chase as it allowed a $5,000 deduction right off the top (I was told this at two different dealerships). After negotiations my capitalized cost ended up at approx. $35,300. The MSRP was $43,300!!! It was more than I wanted to spend but I fell in love in with the car, and "My God", the price/value was too good to pass up. So far so good with about 1,800 miles. The brakes squeal a bit when cold and I've noticed the clutch linkage is kind of loud with the windows rolled down when shifting casually around town. I looked at a lot of vehicles but the R just hit all the right buttons for a family guy living in a snow belt who still wants a bit of cut and thrust!

tmac · June 2005

I guess they are pushing out the 2005s to make room for the 2006s. Prices look lower than I have ever seen them for the xc70 and the s80.

itrolls · June 2005

What prices are you seeing for xc70 and s80...I'm interest in both of them. Thanks for your help.

kmcg · June 2005

Here's the best I've found: The base V70 (base = no sunroof, cloth seats, etc) is about $25,850 and the XC70 base is priced at $28,742. These are prices that seem quite low to me, especially for the XC. They come from a high volume dealership that appears to be experimenting with no-negotiation pricing on some of their cars. It works for me! I tried to get another dealer to match it, and they wouldn't. So, should I do it??

1243 · June 2005

bought today: $32,998 for XC70 with metallic, premium and leather (MSRP $40,175) no-negotiation price. Stutz Volvo / Salem, MA

dante · June 2005

In Chicago they are offering $7,5000 of the MSRP on all Volvo XC70s???!!!

melrose · June 2005

First off I'd like to extend a big "thank you" to edmunds.com and the folks who post here. This site literally saved me a couple of thousand bucks on my new XC70. It seemed to be the only (or one of the only) site that knew about the $4000 manufacturer to dealer incentive. I even paid for the CR new car price kit, and if I had just gone by that I would have paid right around invoice!

Here are the details: 2005 white xc70 w/premium, climate, convenience, DSTC, and rear park assist: MSRP $41,655, Invoice $38,783, paid $34,812. After I had alreay committed, another dealer offered the car at $34,400, so it's possible to do a little better.

misspeppy · June 2005

This week my husband and I test drove a 2005 V70 2.5T and loved it. We had done our homework and were ready to buy but there was just one problem---there was a very noticeable vibration that could be felt by the driver and passengers alike. My thought was that the tires were not properly balanced. The salesman agreed (he could feel it too) and assured us that he would have the service department check it out and fix the problem. The next day we returned and he informed us that all V70's have tire vibration and basically we should be willing to live with it. Is this true---do all V70s come with tire shimmy as standard equipment? Was the salesperson waiting for the turnip truck to turn around and pick us up after the test drive? One other major issue---the salesman also said the price on the car was non-negotiable. There was a $4K markdown on it already (which was great) but I've never heard of a dealer who won't give a little, even if it is just a token negotiation (other than Saturn). So the two issues here are first, should we be willing to accept that all V70's have some tire vibration and second, it is typical for Volvo dealers to refuse to negotiate on price? Should we be looking for another car? By the way, there is only one Volvo dealer in our area. The next nearest one is 150 miles away. Thanks in advance for all your input!

I need help purchasing an 04 silver XC70 with premium and climate packages. This car was used as a loaner/demo by the dealer and they have it listed at 33,495.

I feel 29k would be a fair price for this car but am unsure, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I am located in the mass area.

We just bought a 2005 XC70 with Premium, Climate and Convenience in silver with black leather for $33,500. Was stickered at just above $41K. Happy with the purchase and LOVE the car. Smooth ride, good acceleration, gorgeous interior. Even the stock stereo sounds very good. Wife is in heaven (she cried when she saw it in our garage with a red bow on it).

My car is an Infiniti FX which I love. But I have to admit I might just sneak out early one Saturday morning and grab the XC70 for a ride...
