Keep getting mixed opinions about the matter, I emailed support and they said it has been suspended indefinitely?
So what choice is there now for an A-Plan deal:
Does Edmunds Truecar still work?
Costco?
Anything else ?
If you or a friend own a business register to become a member. If you work for a large company, see if you can get them or the benefit provider to sign up for A Plan.
Can a dealer “sponsor” a customer? Or they are not considered “Volvo Cars Employees”, but rather “Volvo Retail Employees”?
Friends and Neighbors of Volvo Cars Employees and Retirees: An eligible Volvo Cars employee or retiree may sponsor up to eight (8) PINs per calendar year to be used towards the purchase or lease of a new vehicle by select friends and neighbors as defined below:
May be an extended family member or friend
Sponsors must know the individuals that they are sponsoring
Did you have any luck with the support? It sounds more like its an issue of people sharing that one code that they retired and not individual people signing up for 45$ and using it once.
There’s a new rule implemented nov 1st. You must wait 3 months after joining. Fortunately my employer was enrolled in the plan.
Here is what I’m negotiating at the moment. $328 a month for a 2018 S90 T6 Inscription
Volvo S90 T6 AWD Inscription
MSRP = 70,375
Selling Price = 61,718
Rebates = 13,750 (Was told Employer was enrolled in A-Plan program)
MSD = 3,500
MF after MSD = .00001
Term = 24/10
Payment = $328.00
Tax = 0% (Registering in Oregon no tax, but leasing in California so was told that I could get around tax as long as I registered it in the first month)
Total due at signing other than MSD = 1,521 (328 1st mont payment, 495 registration, 695 acquisition)
That’s a pretty good deal. Which part of Cali? would you mind sharing the dealer info?
It gets better. I don’t drive that much. So this dealership has a 7500 miles for 24 months offer. That sends the residual up to 59% instead of 57%. It lowers my MSD to 2750 and my payment to $270. According to the calculator that leasehackr provided in the article from @nyclife. There acquisition fee is $995 though, instead of $695 which is what the article states it would be in Southern California.
But this dealership has a lot of sales where the 2018 Inscriptions are all on sale at about 12% off the MSRP. Mine is fully loaded, with the Bowers & Wilkins sound and the air suspension, which I wanted. Dealership is Volvo of Escondido.
- If I do no MSD, then it would be $288. Which is still too good to be true.

@rjfrik That’s a great deal for a $70k model. When doing from 10k to 7.5k, are you sure RV is +2%? I thought it was usually just 1%.
Amazing deal. Where are the 13750 in rebates coming from - do you have conquest? I only see 11750 on 2018 T6 S90.
Rebates are:
Lease Cash $4,250
Volvo Allowance Only T6 Models $4,500
Conquest Bonus Targeted (Regional) $2,000 * I have an SClass Mercedes.
A-Plan Bonus Targeted $3,000
Finance Manager believed that going from 10k to 7500k is 2% difference. Hasn’t been confirmed yet. Still finalizing everything.
These deals are bonkers. Please post in trophy Garage!
Do you know which brands/vehicles qualify for this conquest rebate? Is this rebate separate from the S90 pull-ahead offer as well?
Okay. So here is the final numbers. Not nearly as good as I thought, but for a car over 70k, I think it’s still a good deal.
After talking with the manager the sales agent (who’s new) wasn’t aware that the sales price included some of the volvo incentives. So instead of a sales price of $61,718, they quoted $66,718, which is 6% off MSRP. I negotiated down to $65,718 which is 7% off of MSRP. I tried to negotiate to 8%, but I could only get them down to the $65,718. They claimed that since I was using the A-Plan they had a bottom number that they can go to and can’t go much lower then what’s in the A-Plan.
So the new numbers are this:
Volvo S90 T6 AWD Inscription
MSRP = 70,375
Selling Price = 65,718
Rebates = 13,750
MSD = 2,000 (They said they can’t offer more MSD then 4)
MF after MSD = .00002 (They said this is as low as they can go on this)
Term = 24/7,500 (58% residual, not a 59% which the finance manager thought)
Payment = $476.00
Tax = 0% (Have to ship to another state - Nevada or Arizona is cheaper and closet, then register in Oregon)
Total due at signing other than MSD = 1,000 ($476 1st month payment, $524 acquisition)
When it’s all said and done it’s not nearly the deal I thought, as I was told the wrong numbers, but it’s still a good deal, I think. 70k car for $476 a month.
Definitely not a bad deal for a 70k inscription. I would also try having them run the numbers on a loaded momentum with bw sound if you must. I believe the momentum has a better residual.
Regarding the bottom number for a plan, that’s what many dealers like to say but it’s not true.
Good luck.

Exactly, still a great deal, but there is room to go lower on A-plan. An extra 5% off would rival some of the best deals on 2018 and would make it 3500 cheaper.
That’s funny, I’m working with the same dealership currently. Still a great deal, but I’m sure a bit disappointing since you were quoted lower numbers before. Keep us posted if they come down more. I think they will be more willing towards the end of this month, which is what I’m waiting for myself.
