Deal Check on 2025 Volvo EX30 in CO - $35,858 3k Down $507/mo

Well, here is my take on dealers marking up MF. As long as they meet your target monthly and due at signing (DAS), it does not matter in the grand scheme of things.

However, given how new the EX30 is and also given that you are not being offered a discount off MSRP, I have no idea what a reasonable deal looks like on this car. You could counter with say $400/month (inclusive of tax) + $2500 DAS (this is just a guess) and see what they say. But again, there are no data points on this car, so I have no idea what a good deal looks like. Hope this info helps.

Just grab a Polestar instead and call it a day. Like twice the car for the same money.

Please read OP’s original post. They are not looking for recommendations on cheaper cars.

@frenchfry - I would suggest doing this. You might get lucky and come across a dealer slighly discounting this car. Who knows.

:point_up_2: :point_up_2:

As others have said, something’s missing in the numbers. Must be the mf is whack.

There’s just $4k between the adjusted cap cost and the residual. They’re asking you for $3k up front. And $500/mo? Wholly moly.

Hm - I hadn’t considered this. The P2 might fit my chair since it’s sort of a hatch- I would have to check clearance… I’ll look into this as well. Thanks for the rec. Would someone be willing to put together a P2 deal together?

If it fits my chair, I would potentially consider the P2. Have done little to no research on it though and don’t know anything about lease offers.

As a general disclaimer though for future posters: I am not looking for cheaper vehicles. To reiterate - I have pretty specific needs and my situation is sort of niche with my wheelchair and garage clearance. I’m willing to pay extra for the sake of convenience and I think I’m pretty locked into the EX30. I don’t need a cheaper, larger car. It doesn’t work for me.

Take a look at broker deals in the Marketplace. You should be able to filter by region/state and manufacturer.

The base level P3 is still cheaper than $507 by like a hundred bucks. @aronchi has some deals right now but I think you’d have to fly to pick it up.

the polestar2 is smaller than the golf r on the inside, i wouldn’t even consider it given your requirements. it could probably fit a chair but it’ll be cramped.

Ah, flying is a pain with my wheelchair. Not worth it. I will stop by the Denver dealership though and see if my chair fits in the back. Usually (similar to Audi A/S5) with those types of glass trunks, I’m able to get the chair in with one wheel off, which is a compromise and sort of annoying… but I’m curious.

Small is better. If I can fit a chair in the trunk - I don’t care about the rest of the room in the car.

what i meant was, it can fit a wheelchair but it won’t do it well. you can be the judge of that though!

Yeah - wheelchairs aren’t exactly spherical cows so I usually have to find some weird way to shove it in a sedan. Worth a shot though!

Here’s an out of left field suggestion: Honda Civic hatchback hybrid? It’s getting good reviews, supposed to have good acceleration and handling (although neither would be R level), and perhaps enough space for your wheelchair?

More to finance than to lease, though, and not sure if getting an EV was a priority for you. Should retain high resale value.

Yeah - I’ll update after I’ve talked with the dealership by the end of the week if they’ll give me some answers.

You may be a test case on these but there’s a chance the $7,500 rebate goes away when Trump comes to office. I have to imagine discounts will start on these relatively soon in anticipation.

I got a polestar 2 because I needed to be able to fit my moms wheelchair in the back. No wheels had to be removed. And I did not have to fold the rear seats down.

It works well.

Huh this is very interesting! I’ll go check one out after work today!

I think I would be disappointed by the power :(. (My golf R is modded/tuned as well)

The polestar 2 with the performance pack is the only one you can get now.

A lower center of gravity than the EX30 might help.

Worth a test drive. (If you can find one).
