My thought too. It’s awfully suspicious when a dealer can do a trade in allowance for the exact same price the buyer owes on the vehicle.
KBB says trade in value is about 40k. Again, they haven’t seen the vehicle in person.
The only reason I haven’t gone to the dealership is because I was exploring all deals in my area and in a previous lease deal I tried to do, the dealership was holding me hostage and would not give me my keys back and it was the most awkward feeling. They appraised my car and took the keys and kept trying to push me and wouldn’t give me the keys. Did not like that whatsoever.
FYI, Ally charges different buyout to third parties. And get other buy offers on your car so you can properly assess the deal.
Oh I don’t blame you. I’m doing the same.
Crest should be able to do much better than this. There’s also a DFW Volvo dealer here on the forum, check with him/her
I’d shop the trade in around to other dealers and the various 3P sites available, and may be best to keep the trade in separate from the lease deal.
As far as the quote on the C40, i’m not sure which additional rebates you qualify for, but you can use the pre-incentive discount of my recent deal as a proxy.
Have you considered a broker?

This is Crest Volvo. Others didnt even get remotely close to that payment.
Never considered or heard of a broker. Can you explain or point me in the right direction?
push for 10%+ discount pre-incentive. I just did a deal there at the end of April. It was about 10.4% discount pre-incentive
Can you share your numbers? Also this is the top model of the C40. Did you end up with Plus or Ultimate?
What are you looking to do upgrade from the rav4 to the c40?
Do you like the rearview of the C40 from having a Rav4? The back window/cargo is pretty small on a C4
Unlike his rav 4 the c40 doesn’t even have leather. Don’t know if we can call it an upgrade.
A limited trim rav 4 is often loaded

Well I don’t consider ‘seat material’ when comparing cars (though I don’t like the suede in the XC40). I compare more visual things like mirrors / windows / cargo space/ headroom.

Ive owned a Volvo before and I like it. I got rid of it becuase I thought I was moving to NYC, but that didn’t happen.
I don’t carry lots of stuff but my dogs and I think that they have plenty room.

Yep no leather. Going electric also means going green in other terms and I am all for it. Really like the Rav4 Hybrid, but feels kinda blah and also noisy as hell on the road. I’ve owned a Ford and that was not as noisy as the Rav4. Even for being a hybrid it is not quiet.
I was talking to my local dealer about a C40 Ultimate recently. They were pretty open about the car not being popular and wanting to get their remaining 5 off their floorplan. I was offered 10% discount from MSRP, then the $7500 discount then an additional $2500 off as a Costco member and then an additional $500 as an educator. On top of that they told me that depending on when I want to pull the trigger there’s additional incentive cash to get these cars moved.
In the end I read some reviews, checked complaints for the C40 and decided not to get one due to uncorrectable shudder/vibration at highway speeds.
If you want to upgrade your lease in less than a year, you might want to do the same again. My understanding is Volvo leases are hard to get out of as they don’t allow 3rd party buyouts. Someone else might have more information on them though.
