TL;DR I signed the deal and my monthly payment is as reflected in the initial offer. Needless to say there was a little back and forth when I arrived to take delivery as some figures had changed on me but we got to where we needed to be.
Working with a dealer in South Florida on a 2020 S90 T6 R-Des w/ Advanced Package & Polestar
Don’t have an exact breakdown but I added the calculator to effectively show my payment & Drive Off. I was also informed by a few dealers I was working with that a new $1000 incentive for S90 owners that is allowed to be stacked with pull ahead went live today. Supposed to take delivery tomorrow morning.
That’s what they were for January and I started working on the deal 1/31 they only added the extra $1000 for Feb and carried it forward so my deal got better by $1200 by virtue of the incentive and extra small discount.
I would agree, I worked the deal and they were a good $1200 better than anyone else but everyone was rather aggressive on this model. Dealer says it only has 16 miles.
Or they’re just plug and play swapping the wheel with the heater built in from Volvo. It’s going to be far more work to add a heater to a wheel than just swap the wheel out. It’s very unlikely someone is making counterfeit Volvo steering wheels to corner the lucrative adding heated wheels to the few cars that came without them market.
Unless Volvo thought it economical to preinstall the wiring, it’s not plug and play. Whether you install a new heated wheel or add heating elements to a stock wheel, it’s gotta be powered somehow. So you’re either installing new wiring or splicing existing wiring.
It’s also not a common installation. It’s an option that people either buy installed at the factory, don’t know about or don’t care about. I know a couple different people who had these installed and it took a lot longer than was initially quoted. They honored the quote so that wasn’t an issue but the customer was basically paying them to learn on the job.
There are few things that I would want from the factory or I wouldn’t want them at all. YMMV
Deal is signed. The deal above can be replicated as the dealer has one vehicle remaining in stock that Volvo have extra incentives for them to take delivery.
My deal was actually MUCH better than this surprisingly. How we I walked out the door with the same payment plus tire/wheel protection and excess wear and tear so the dealer had something to show for it.
