Huge thanks to all those that pitched in and answered questions in my other thread. Reached out to every dealer within driving distance that was advertising loaner XC90s and this dealership’s initial offer was basically 16.5% off (pre-incentive) but with a marked up MF so thought that was a pretty good start. This was a Thunder Grey loaner with 2,975 miles on it. We weren’t really picky on the color but really liked the Thunder Grey once we saw it in person.
Got them to offer buy rate MF, cut half of their “add-on” fees, and initially agreed to an estimated deal of $451 monthly, $451 DAS, $5000 MSDs. I couldn’t get them to budge on their $799 admin fee but decided the deal was where I wanted it so I’d just suck it up. The numbers came back from Volvo financial better (don’t really understand how…lowered the dealer fees in the calc to account for the lower monthly/MSDs) so that was a win. DAS is actually first month’s payment + MSD but the leasehackr calc link assumes $0 (first month rolled in) for simplicity’s sake. I wish I would have had loyalty/first responder (another $1250 in NC) and this would have been smoking!
Again, huge thanks to the community, this place is a wealth of information and can pay off dividends if you’re willing to put in the modest amount of work required to learn. I had just started browsing the forum when I “hacked” my first lease on a Kia Sorento but have been watching the threads weekly since then to get ready for our next lease when the Kia is due for return. Really happy with this deal and love the whip!
Well done, the community is great here if you’re willing to learn and put in some effort. I never thought leasing made sense until I stumbled onto this forum and started reading.
Hi, congrats on getting this awesome deal. I joined this community today and still in the learning process of hacking a deal and getting the best out of it. I am in the process of negotiating a loaner XC90 T6 with my local dealer and wondering if the $1250 Costco cash applies on leasing loaners? Because technically the loaners are registered with the dealer and are not considered unregistered. Correct me if I am wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Well, today is June 30th, you’ve gotta move fast or wait for july programs, costco will expire tonight, and that eliminates 1250 in cash. Lease cash is expected by dealers to be reduced (talked to a GM yesterday).
Shoot for a loaner, post your details, or ask a broker next month.
Can someone explain how the Costco discount works? Do they actually pay the dealership the 1250 or is it just an arbitrary discount that they tack on to the other discounts and pretend you got something special?
Is it possible to share the dealer info, @DrChimRichalds? I am located in PA and feel I’ve either upset all my local dealers with offers they don’t want to think about, or I can’t find a great loaner option at a payment level like this. If they will ship to my door, doesn’t matter to me if they are in NC!
Always happy to help guide those willing to put in the effort
