Tell him that your (un)friendly neighborhood Volvo broker is over 10% off with his money already in the deal, so he should step up his game.

Anyone know if loyalty still works if you’re not the first listed owner on the title?
Yeah, too bad your neighborhood is about 1200 miles north.
As a caveat, however, I am looking at a 24/12k deal, instead of 7500, so that does make a difference.
Typically you provide proof of registration or insurance showing the Volvo that conveys loyalty is registered at the same address.

There seems to be a latent incentive of $14,500 off on C40 (only 7,500 on XC40 Recharge), potentially stackable with other incentives, except most dealers seem to not have any C40s in stock anymore?..
Nice! Thanks for the tip. Will see if they’ll do a lease on that…
Just curious, where do you see that latent incentive? I haven’t seen it anywhere ….
What does “latent incentive” mean?
Likely ‘latest’

I read it as “hidden” or undisclosed, but either way I think the poster is mistaken. Would love to know more though.

Can I use my partner’s Costco membership discount to buy my car? Or I need to get a free additional card? We live together but not married.
Same address should be good
As usual you were correct about Volvo’s plan. Also this seems like maybe an unofficial announcement of a new ICE XC90. Would Volvo really spend 50+ million dollars converting SC to build a 14 year old second generation XC90 platform for likely the 2029 model year? I think SC starts production when the third Gen XC90 debuts.

The more telling statement is the 1.1b hit they are going to take on the EX90. That car is dead

It’s a solution desperately seeking a problem. It’s either too short (EX100) or needs emasculating side-slide doors (they’d sell every single Swedish vasectomy they built).
Maybe they can hire Lucid’s developers to build their self driving software that never materialized?

I think that is all right but also, it’s just too expensive. The market for $90k unibody luxury vehicles is limited. I don’t think a sliding door or extra 8 inches of length changes that. Volvo has gone upscale. But this is a whole new price point where you are competing against well appointed German luxury.
They should remove the lidar from the car and lower the price $1k. They have so much software work to do to make the car useable that self-driving can’t be a high priority.
The EX90 appears so half baked Volvo must be losing a ton on each unit. The amount of dealer warranty work + lemoned units has to be devasting margins. I didn’t think they would abandon the EX90 based on their billion dollar Charleston plant. But that sure seems like what they are doing/considering. They are going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to open a production line for what will be a nine year old XC60 design. Volvo seems like they just have only terrible options to choose from.

I was parking buddies with an EX90 last week at Costco. The owner was very nice but she told me (exasperated) “we’re beta testing this thing, at least that’s what my husband keeps reminding me”. I assured her the software in the non-EVs was just as bad.
An expensive birthmark to remind us of half-baked plans and broken promises.
