Deal Check - 2025.5 xc90 T8

Durham, NC. Never leased before so not sure how to interpret. Is this a good deal?

It’s a terrible deal. The sweet spot for these is 24 months as well. See if @Benedetto ships to you. GL!

Thx! If could walk me through, why terrible? What should I look for besides 24 month?

Based on other recently signed deals and what’s posted in the marketplace, how does this compare?

What incentives are you eligible for? What’s the pre-incentive discount? Is the MF marked up?

I just sent you my leasing basics guide. Read it and use the tools in there, as the deal you’ve been offered is terrible.

I just leased a XC90 T8 2 days ago. It was a Core, and yours is a plus, but even when I worked out a price on the Plus, it was coming in at about $680/mo based upon the deals I could do here in Florida. I also don’t know what kind of incentives you are qualifying for, which can make a big difference - my deal has $16k in incentives before I negotiated 9% off of MSRP. If you look in Signed, you can see my deal, and use it for comparison.

Since you are a Super Supporter (money very well spent in my mind), you can play around with different options and get a really clear picture of what you should be paying based upon your incentives and % off MSRP. I always look at what the brokers are offering to get a baseline for my negotiations, but many times, it is just not able to duplicate their deals.

Oh, and what’s that $499 new car addendum? Sounds a little scammy to me.

Deal check. First time leaser. My plan is to potentially buy out asap to take advantage of rebates and discounts (EV, Costco, loyalty).

I know MF probably higher than I would like.

Any input appreciated!

These get cheaper every few days in the northeast’s Marketplace possibly the south too.

Strategy on these cars: Lease, return or pull ahead, and lease again. Assuming you get a good lease (see above).

Resale value is not good enough to justify buying out your lease.

Thx :slight_smile: I basically went back after the first one and they came back with this. Does this look decent for the 24 month option?

What’s the best deal in the Marketplace ?

Money factor is brutal on these this month. How much equity is there in your trade? The calculator came out lower than your estimates. Discount seems to be 9.5%, might be able to increase that. See if they will take off the 499 fee. MSDs will help the monthly (marginally for Volvo).
