I am trying to lease a new Volvo and now they have $2500 loyalty offer. I dont currently have a volvo. I was thinking to buy a cheap used volvo to take advantage of this offer. Is it possible to get the discount? Any other tricks to get loyalty?
Thank you
Yes, you’ll need to own that Vovlo for about 30 days.
99% sure hehe. @Ursus @HersheySweet

How much is the “cheap” volvo you’re talking about?

You can also use a relative that has a Volvo. But they will need to be a co-signer.

It’s moments like these where I wish I still owned the 1988 Volvo 240 GL I had a decade ago.

Are you in a magical state with neither sales tax nor DMV registration fees? Or have you factored that into your calculations already?

As long as they have a title or recent registration with their name and “Volvo XXX” on it.

You would know better, but my recollection from one of the “fake loyalty” crackdowns was insurance cards — you can just a bind a policy to a VIN and generate one on the spot.
1998 V70 X-Country on Autotrader for $695. I am certain you can find one locally, CL, salvage yard or whatever for $250 or less that you can buy.
Ah yes, that happened after my emigration to warmer places.

Volvo loyalty has no limit on how old the car can be?

Standard language appears to be this:
“Individuals who currently own/lease any model year Volvo or Saab vehicle or have owned/leased within the last 6 months are eligible.”

If there is no minimum holding period, you could buy one from Carmax, and then return it under their 30 day return policy.
I did the insurance card trick once when I was planning to lease a BMW, but ended up not leasing it, so I do not know if the insurance card would have worked for loyalty.
