You have access to ratefindr, it’s all there. Just use dealer’s zip.

Then they are talking about another rebate and are already embedding the lease cash in the “discounted” selling price.
Bottom line they are not discounting nearly as much as you think.
TLDR don’t negotiate piecemeal. Make offers down to the penny for payment and DAS.

Does this have the refresh headlights yet?
I went to local Volvo delaer in DFW, TX for a test drive and eventually purchase/finance XC 90 recharge. He suggested leasing the car and buying it later to take advantage of some lease offers.
Never leased before nor understood the concept of leasing if I plan to keep the vehicle longterm but came across this forum from reddit and following.
I reached out for pricing and details from our local dealers and will share numbers in a new thread once I have them.
If anyone can suggest any tips, please let me know.
Spend a couple hours searching and reading other posts about leasing that vehicle in the last 60 days, save yourself thousands and thousands of dollars (10k easy if you also find a dealer with tax credits).

If you have specific questions about a deal you are putting together, post a new thread in “Ask the Hackrs” . Every possible scenario has already been discussed in detail if you look around.

How would a 2025 have the headlights of a 2025.5? Use your brain. It isn’t hard.
I don’t think anyone outside automotive forums has ever heard of a “.5” for a model year.
Volvo could have avoided this by calling it a 2026

They would have likely had to wait to release it then. There are already some on dealer lots based on Facebook and Reddit posts. In NC, NoVA, RVA.
Brilliant deal. Inspiring me to correct my mistake from last year when I leased an XC60 without much knowledge… Am now ~18 months into my 3 year lease. I know Volvo allows pulling it up 6 months ahead of lease expiry, but is there any way in which I can entice a dealer to swap? Or is that wishful thinking… No complaints with the vehicle, just thinking on a bigger car and i saw quite some lease discounts going currently (sorry to hijack the thread)

You can request your payoff from VCFS, compare to what the car buying services are paying to get an idea how under water you are - sure.
Keep in mind you can’t sell your leased XC60 to a third party, this is just research

Any advice on how to sell pushing down the MF? I’m getting .00359 across the board without much movement. It’s driving my monthly way up and I already asked for some MSDs.
Yup, very easy… Don’t. Call 5 more dealers and see where they stand.
I’m obviously somewhat joking but that’s really the mentality I had. I had several dealers that I think are very honest and good to work with but when it came down to it they couldn’t match the best deal I had so I called more dealers.
Eventually, and I mentioned this in the post, I had done so much legwork that a dealer I originally thought wouldn’t do a deal with me called and wanted to earn my business. I chalk this up to the fact that dealers could tell I was not wasting their time and that if they could meet my parameters that I would be there that day to pick up the car (e.g., “I am calling your dealership specifically because you have a stellar reputation and I know that if we agree to a deal over the phone I will have zero worries of anything changing. Here’s the number that would get me so excited about a deal that I will hang up our call now and stop calling any other dealers.”)
I would strongly advise knowing your “happy zone” and to shut things down when you get there. I certainly struggle with this myself so I’m a living breathing hypocrite but it was helpful for me in this case.

Thanks I appreciate this. I have a good idea of where my happy zone is already. So this is a nice reinforcement that I gotta look a little broader. I’m trying to limit my comms to email or text only. Not quite sure Id do well over the phone as I appreciate having a moment to look at my numbers.

Although focusing on interest rate/discount/incentives in a vacuum within any financial transaction is really wasting time. Let them charge 100% interest and then adjust the sale price accordingly. The strategy is to take the time and effort to craft a deal using the calculator and other deals as a guide. Then email sales managers/general managers with an offer. This is what the OP has done successfully in this case. If you want someone to do that work for you, contact one of the many lease brokers and pay them to get the deal.
