I don't know the exact specifics for the price but I know the 'ball park' discount we're getting. I'll let ya know tomorrow.
MSRP is around $40,500 for the model with the options we are getting. There's a fee for the extended warranty (not sure how much yet) but it doubles the factory warranty on the car, from 4 years/80,000 to 7 years, 160,000 so we're doing that, and I believe it's around $1500 or so for that but again, won't know exactly til tomorrow.
We are planning to buy, doing a 5 year term as there's no penalties to pay the car off early so doing a 4 year instead is pointless. Knowing us, we'll pay the car off in 4 years regardless, as we tend to pay things off early all the time (very financially 'smart' you could say).
I know (for example) we were getting around $6500 off a used one (2005 S40 but at 4.8% financing......) so I'm guessing it's going to be less for a new one since used cars are typically marked up alot more. I'm not getting it for 'cost' or anything like that.
My dad worked at the dealership for 20+ years before he passed away as one of the managers there (fleet department, etc) and most of the people at the dealership are family friends. They are throwing out the typical $500 or so paperwork fees also. Financing is a great 1.8%, which is awesome considering what prime is these days.
I'm 6'4" or so, car is very comfortable for me, lots of room, more then the focus.
Yeah we were looking into the Jags also but thought a smaller car would be more practical for us. We also really liked the sport look of the redesigned S40's so that really got us.
I can let you know tomorrow what pricing we are getting. I'm guessing for a ball park monthy fee (60 months buy) around $550 with everything said and done. Planning around a $12,000 down payment OR my focus as a trade. I got a buyer for $10,000 for my car right now, just need to call him tomorrow morning once I confirm things with Volvo.
