There has been a drop in residual values ranging from 1% to 2% for most models in the line up. Luckily, Volvo has adjusted the Money Factor to keep the lease from tanking. I actually prefer having a lower residual and lower money factor because it gives you the option of buying-out your lease at a more reasonable price should you love your car. If you are curious about the Lease-To-Buy scenario I just described, check out this LINK.
Moving onto a sample Volvo lease, the S60 is still an attractive lease, specially for returning customers. Below you will see a more “REAL WORLD” estimate based on a well-equipped S60 T5 with Sunroof. The lease is still good, but not as enticing as last month. TrueCar indicates about 8% off MSRP in the SoCal region excluding the $1000 loyalty cash is still available, which bumps the discount to about 10%. Without the loyalty cash, the lease drops to a 88.8 RWG rating which is still within an acceptable range, but not as ideal. Given a choice, I would recommend BUYING the car because you can get a lower interest rate of 0.9% for 48 months OR 1.9% for 72 months, both which are much lower than the 2.38% the MF converts to.
Lease rates was made available by the good folks at North Point Volvo. If you are in or near the Alpharetta, GA area and looking for a Volvo, please give them a call.
