Did see a white S40 on the drive home tonight and it was a really sharp looking car. We're just cousins with the S40...and I think we're both part of the Ford family i think.

I'm a newbies here so please forgive me if I put down something funny.
I got a quote from my dealer with S40i with option listed below
1: Select Packages
2: Climate Packages
3: Metallic paint
4: Automatic transmission.
The MSRP is $28,750 and the dealer quote to me is $26,480. The dealer is located in Brooklyn, New York City. There are only 3 Volvo dealers in the town and one of them give me a crazy price so I won't go back there.
I'm looking into enter a 2 years lease with 10,000 miles per year. Do you think any dealer willing to do a 2 years lease? I check around and most of the dealer out there offer 3 years lease only? I will appreciate if any one can give me a hand on it.

Ready to buy a s40 t5 in vegas.

You're right the 9-3 is much more luxurious then the 9-2. I wouldn't compare the 9-2 to the 9-3 to s40.
My previous look see was in '05. Both cars have changed somewhat. Here's the '06 comparison:
9-3 (210hp2.0L turbo 4) $26,620
s40i (168hp 2.4L i-5) + leather and DSTC $26,345
The saab's just a few bucks more and wins on engine big-time. On the other hand, you can delete leather on the volvo for the arguably superior gore-tex and save significant $$.
However, on the high end:
s40+awd+t5+dstc+xenons+premium(sunroof)+winter = 33,087
9-3+winter package(rest is standard) = 33,720
The price was much more on the saab last year--in this case the volvo offers AWD, but the saab offers the 258hp turbo v6 vs the 218hp i-5. Depends on what you like.
Tough call in either case.
1st offer: '06 S40 T5 Auto MSRP 30,335, offered it at a lease price of $26624.
2nd offer at another dealer: '06S40 T5 fully loaded MSRP of $34500 offered it to me at a cap cost of 28800.
What does anyone think??? Problem is, I've got 2 trades to figure in the equation '03 Explorer, and an '01 Mustang that I owe a combined 23k on. Dealer 1 said they'de give me 20k for both and dealer 2 said he'd pay them off but I'd have to come up with 3k down for the advertised monthly lease pymt of $399 pr mo.
Can anyone tell me if these are good deals or if there is room for more negotiation..
I would be very grateful for any wise words of wisdom Thanks!
My guess would be invoice minus the $2500, plus about $500.00.
I hope to get the deal made tomorrow. Thanks!
I'm in the Twin Cities area and
plan on making an offer tomorrow for:
2006 VOLVO S40 2.4i with:
Blue Metallic Paint
MC577 Select Package
TMP086 5-Speed Automatic Transmission
MC578 Sport Package
MC580 Climate Package
------------------------------
MRSP 29,498
INVOICE 27,568
-----------------------------
I'm thinking of offering 26,500 as I know there are about $1500.00 in dealer incentives.
Am I screwing myself?!??
Finally settled for $27,218 - $350.00 under invoice. I was happy with that. I've only driven it about 10 miles, but so far so good!
'05 T5 AWD
Silver/black
Heated/leather seats
Sunroof

But most important its a dealer demo with 3,900 miles
$26,990
Unsure if this is a good offer or not. Thanks.
We paid about 900 more than that for an 06 T5 w/ premium pkg. Brand new, so I think the dealer could do better.
My local dealer is advertising '05 T5 AWD for $28,313.. They say they have five of them left.... brand new..
What is the MSRP on the demo that you are considering?

Now to kyfdx's question about MSRP. Its a little unclear. The dealer mentioned only those specific features that I listed in my post as being options included in the car, but did not answer my direct question about whether the car has only those features as one off's or as part of the premium and cllimat packages. Therefore I think the MSRP is around the $32 to $33.3 price range.
$26,900 on a $33,500 car is a better deal than $26,900 on a $32,000 car...
In my experience, demos usually don't come with enough of a discount over a brand-new unit, to merit buying them.. Although, occasionally, you'll run into a good deal...
I'd have a hard time dropping $26,900 on a car with 4K miles, when there are brand new models to be had for just $1400 more... But, that is just me..

MSRP = 33,325
Car was a demo, ended up having 5500 miles on it instead of 3900 as we were originally told (shady).
Final price -25,700.
I know some don't care for the cars with miles on it, but I think we got a good deal. Any thoughts?
By the way, a huge thank you to Edmunds in general and this forum in particular for sharing your collective knowledge. Having the informational knowledge this forum provides was absolutely crucial and comforting.
Enjoy the car, they are a blast to drive.
Congratulations on the new car!

thanks so much!
This is more car than I was looking to purchase, but could be a good deal. It's also a white care and I was looking for Red or Blue.
Given the situation, and the fact it's Thanksgiving week, a traditionally slow car buying week, how much would be a good offer for the oops?
Thanks
Brian
As for your offer, in August we purchased an 06 T5 with auto and premium pkg for 28700. So if its a 06 it probably a pretty good deal IMHO. If its an of, there is a lot more room, about 1k I'd say.
Despite it being a good deal I couldn't see myself in a white car. I passed on the Opps, but thanks for the response and advise.
As it turns out, they had a Red S40 2.4i with climate, select package and auto trans come in today. The MSRP is 28275 and they are offering to me at 26300 (Invoice is 26,517). Looks like it will work out well.
I think I might be a new car owner.
Last night I used the edmonds.com site to go over the offer I had from the dealer. By all accounts it seemed like an excellent deal, I hit the button on the TMV page to get price quotes from other dealers. I received two calls today. The first one confirmed that i was getting a great deal and told me he couldn't beat it. The second call was from a another dealer owned by the same organization. They had an identical car in stock to the one I wanted (Passion Red 2.4i, Auto, Climate, Select) and would sell it under the first quote. I asked about a trade in and they had me bring the car. (This is 7:00 on thanksgiving eve.) I drove to the dealer, they dropped the price of the car again, and gave me a good deal on my 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe (with under 28K and in excellent shape.) At 9:45 I drove off in my new Passion Red S40 a very happy camper.
MSRP was 28,275
Invoice was 26767
Sales price was 25933
