I’m a first time leaser so still trying to figure everything out. It seems like 2020 V60’s are good deals right now. Below is what’s listed from the dealer and the calculator with my offer that I’ve put together based on research. Does that look good or am I missing something? Any help is greatly appreciated.
2020 Volvo V60CC T5 Loaner/Demo
MSRP: $48,100
Dealer Discount: $2,100
Dealer Allowance: $3,500 cash allowance
Im planning on making an offer of 20% off MSRP total for a selling price of $38,480.
Drive-Off Amount: $0
Months: 36
Annual Mileage: 10,000
MF: .00018
Residual: 53%
Location: NYC
Volvo Lease cash is $3,750 according to their website.
The V60 was initially order-only, and I was chasing them around the US for nearly 3 months at this time last year (I signed my XC60 7/31). The only birthday V60s are most likely white/white (some CC some not) that dealers got at the end of 2019 so they had a test drive car. At this point last year there were less than 100 v60s on the ground in the US (closer to 70 IIRC).
But those that didn’t sell are starting to have birthdays. The 20s didn’t start arriving until late September if I recall correctly, but I tracked less closely after I signed.
I’m glad I passed on that one and only 2019 V60 MOM for $720/mo before cross-country shipping.
Anecdotally: I tried to order a V60 in April and ordering had closed, so those demos all came at the tail-end of 2019 V60 production.
Every single one I saw was white/birch or white/citiweave EXCEPT a v60 RDesign here that was a factory order/mistake (ordered black built blue) and a couple dealers were able to build an allocation in April as ordering closed and built something non-white. I didn’t talk to every dealer, but at least 15 of them (and a few birdies).
I do. My pal Denise at customer care confirmed ordering was closed May 6th after I tried dealers for a month to place an order (3/19 was my first email from Volvo ordering was even open).
I don’t like rules of thumb. What was reasonable last year may not be reasonable now. Some models have higher discounts than others and then it can be the other way. Hire a broker, there are a few serving NY.
