Delaware Volvo Car Dealers

I received telephone quotes from 8 different Volvo dealerships in the Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale/ Orlando area. This is what I ended up negotiating. I know it is a great deal and you just have to work the competition in your area or within a 250 mile radius to save the money. I ended up with a 3.2 FWD with premium package, BLIS, convenience package, versatility package, and the wood steering wheel. My payment is $527.36 without tax, with tax it is $559/mo. It is 24 months with 12, 000 miles per year. This is with $0 down. The first payment and tag were included in the original price. So, I will only make 23 payments. I didn't write a check to drive away. My advice to the marine is to e-mail the internet sales guys with what you want and the best that they can do. Then ask each one to de better than the other. Don't take your first offer.

volvomax, I'm not clear on your explanation. So if someone is buying (not leasing) on the Costco deal they pay invoice, less $3000, less $1000 Costco, plus get $500 Costco cash card, right? Now for the entertainment system you state "dealer charges you $1800" or $1823. So you're saying this is an added cost and not a "freebie"? Also, is it true as Edmunds states in their incentives section that you also get $400 if you finance through Volvo?

slackjaw, per Edmunds the incentive is definitely $3000. And it looks like you can get another $400 by financing a purchase through Volvo. http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/volvo/xc90/100896007/incentives.html?vdp=off&set- zip=19707&state=DE Also note that is says "may be combined with other offers", hence the ability to combine with Costco deal. And the "complimentary rear seat entertainment system" only applies to the lease I believe. My big question is this: why is Volvo doing this? Low demand? Acknowledgement that the vehicle is overpriced?

jwillmann, that price doesn't sound good to me. If the invoice is $41K and there is a $3K incentive your starting point should be $38K, and since it's a demo I wouldn't pay that much. Great price if "new" and low mileage.

Thanks, zamo. I've been shopping the Acura MDX and I have never before considered buying a Volvo but with these discounts ($3,000 factory to dealer + $1,000 Costco + $500 Costco cash card) I may have to consider. I see the Costco deal is based on "employee pricing". Any idea how this compares to msrp or invoice?
