Looking at a V60 and trying to figure out the appropriate discount, pre lease rebate. Looking at other posts, some say 10%, others say 12-15%. Are these targets including regional incentives or before regional incentives?
I have A Plan Elite. On a $50k car, the APE discount is $3750. Adding a $2900 dealer allowance brings the total discount to $6650, before the additional $3750 lease rebate.
So if I’m including the dealer allowance, the discount is 13.3%. Is it possible/likely to get a better price than offered through A Plan Elite? Deal already seems pretty good but like any respectable hacker, I don’t want to leave anything on the table (especially since I don’t really need a car right now).
TIA
Disclaimer: Dealer is agreeing to these numbers via email but I haven’t gotten an official proposal/worksheet yet.
Almost always. A-plan limits you to about 6% pre-incentive discount plus the a-plan bonus amount. On a few vehicles, this bonus amount can be somewhat significant, in which case, given the current market, it’s not a bad route. On most, however, you can do much better by not using a-plan.
Be careful with people talking about 12-15% discounts on non-loaner volvos. Generally, they’re forgetting to separate out all of the incentives. Remember that when we’re talking pre-incentive discounts, that really is before all of the incentives, including direct to dealer allowances/lease cash.
I guess the hard part is not knowing what each individual dealer has to work with. I think I found a great deal on a V60. Will post once I pick up the car tomorrow.
