2011 Volvo Lease Rates – December 2010

Published 2010/12/122010/12/12 by G

My Take: Like everyone else, Volvo has also extended their lease rates for the remainder of the year. Not a good thing since their lease rates were somewhat lackluster. This also means that the Costco Auto’s promotion is still in effect, which helps out a little bit. Volvos are really meant to be purchased, not leased right now and the lease rates seems to prove that conclusion. Either way, I am really warming up to the cars, but the lease rates need some help.

2011 Volvo Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/112010/11/11 by G

My Take: Sadly, last month’s Volvo numbers remain for the month of November. Not even Costco Auto’s promotion can save it from being a great deal, unless you decide to buy. Buying isn’t a bad thing, but I also know that you didn’t scour the internet to end up in a leasing website and have it’s owner tell you to buy. I’m just telling it like it is though. When lease rates stink and you won’t settle for anything else, you have to see what kind of deal you can get on a purchase instead. Not all is lost though, the S80 isn’t too bad of a deal and could qualify for a “Lease-to-Buy” if the sale price is right. Then you can add on the $500 Costco card for extra savings.

2011 Volvo Lease Rates – October 2010

Published 2010/10/132010/10/13 by G

My Take: Rman850r comes through yet again with some Volvo numbers for this month. There is $500 loyalty cash on all 2011 Volvos plus an additional $500 in dealer cash on the S80, C70, and C30 which can be combined with leases. Certainly not the best looking numbers in the industry, bit I’ve seen worse. Volvo really needs to drop that money factor down by a good 0.001 points in order to get more leases going. The products have been improved and they are actually more desirable now, but as a lease it’s not working too well. Alternatively, it looks more attractive since you could BUY a Volvo by financing it at 2.9% financing over 72 months, which isn’t half bad. But a straight up cash purchase would be a wiser move.

On a different note, I LOVED the XC60 when I saw it at the OC Auto Show. It’s so stylish and the interior quality is superb. Light years away from what they used to be less than 10 years ago. From the outside, it looks sleek and stylish. From the inside, it’s spacious, comfortable, modern and ergonomic; what a true crossover SUV should be. It isn’t overly luxurious, but it isn’t cheap either; maybe comparable to current BMW interiors.

2011 Volvo Lease Rates – September 2010

Published 2010/09/082010/09/22 by G

My Take: Thanks again to Rman850r and the folks over at North Point Volvo in Alpharetta, GA for sharing the Volvo numbers for the month of September. XC60 numbers should be coming at a later date, so please stay tuned. As you can see, the rates are not exactly very attractive this month, but there is dealer cash available (special financing is also available, but you cannot combine the two) to help offset some of the costs. Still, not the strongest of leases if you ask me.

2010/11 Volvo Lease Rates – August 2010

Published 2010/08/232010/08/23 by G

My Take: Rman850r has been kind enough to confirm the August numbers for Volvos. There should still be plenty of time to get one before the end of the month. It is rare that lease rates carry over for three consecutive months, so I expect some drops in residual for September. Remember that Volvos also come with free scheduled maintenance which helps save you some cash.

For the past couple months, Rman850r has been kind enough to share these number with us, so I’d like to give special thanks to him and the great folks at North Point Volvo in Alpharetta, GA for providing these numbers to shoppers. For those looking for Volvos in the Atlanta area, please contact Mark Kops. He is the General Manager and is also acting as the Sales Manager at the moment. Many folks on Google Maps gave North Point Volvo glowing reviews, so it’s a great sign that this dealership does more things right than wrong.

2010/11 Volvo Lease Rates – July 2010

logo_volvo My Take: These past couple of months, I’ve been getting help with some Volvo lease rates. A big thanks to Rman850r for helping me out with that. I’m quite pleased with the XC60s money factors because they are very attactive (for the 36-month terms). They do jump a bit in the longer 60-month terms, but still much lower than most premium cars and trucks out there. There is a 48 month lease, but from what I understand, the payments jump significantly. The numbers this month still look pretty good. Last month seemed a bit better, specially with the longer 60-month lease, but the 36-month is around the same ballpark. I think Volvo did a good job introducting the maintenance program because it brings the brand up to par (in terms of service) with the likes of BMW or Audi (AudiCare actually costs you money though). The Safe and Sound coverage is 5yrs/60k miles!!! (longer than BMW and Audi) That means if you go with the 60-month lease (at 12k miles per year), you don’t pay a dime for maintenance!

logo_volvo My Take: Not exactly the most attractive lease out there. Actually, it down right sucks. I would recommend looking at something else like a A3, GTI or Mazda3. I’m gonna try to get my hands on the XC60’s numbers this month. I hold some high hopes for that ride. The “ads” have shown it could be a decent lease, but we’ll see about that. Four years of free maintenance really makes leasing a Volvo worry-free.
