So I’ve been going back and forth with a dealer in VA. Their internet sales mgr has been great the whole time I cannot say a negative thing about him. Here’s how the initial negotiation went to start.
17’ Volvo V90cc T6 with 2500 miles already on it
MSRP $64,140
Initial dealer discount $8088
$56,052
A-plan $3000
Conquest $5000
Holiday bonus $740
Final cap cost $47,302
RV/MF via edmunds .00022 - 59% @ 30/10k
Internet sales mgr confirmed buy rate would be .00022 or .53 apr
once he passed it all to a different salesmen as he left for the day I got my quotes
Definitely a bummer considering their regional sm was registering my A-plan before I even switch companies in January and letting my fiancee sign since I’m in house closing limbo for 90 days.
Looks like a decent deal (below 1%) but considering the fact that it is a demo car maybe you can push for a better (another 1k-2k or so) dealer discount…
I guess I should edit it with the calculator. After confirming the money factor at .00022 the only way they could get that figure is if the money factor is actually .00250
I definitely agree but even with all the incentives I qualify for and covering my ground confirming the money factor before negotiating I’m 90% sure I’m going to run it to the same results each time haha. After I asked for the details such as doc fee and money factor I couldn’t get back a-hold of them.
You plugged the numbers in the LH calc correctly, but here are some things to check:
RV adjustment for being a demo with 2500 miles
what state are you registering vehicle, LH calc you linked had tax on monthly, VA and MD are sales price tax states (Not sure if you were going to ship, but their calc may be for a VA lease)
I know there are a few dealers in South Florida that have a decent inventory and they just aren’t moving at all down here. One is telling me I’ll get an amazing deal and trying to push me in that direction instead of the XC90.
But all the stats show that the XC90 has more cargo space behind the 2nd row than the V90 I thought?
There 2 reasons I think the XC90 have more cargo space, it has a higher roof line so it allows more volume just by the fact its higher. Secondly the back on the V is so much more sloped than the XC so it again has more room just because of the roof, trunk door/angle hight.
I really wished they put these on the long wheelbase like on the new S90.
By same I meant they use the same chassis, same suspension geometry, same engine(s), same gearbox, same interior. Obviously the XC90 has more interior volume (and the 3rd row seating option) due to higher roofline and slightly longer wheelbase but then the V90 has better handling, breaking, performance, and fuel economy due to lower weight and center of gravity.
Outback and Forester on the other hand are not the same cars as the Outback is based on the Legacy platform while the Forester is based in the previous Impreza platform.
