Districtof Columbia Volvo Car Dealers

The only leverage you have is to ask what is the best price they can give, then maybe ask for $1500 off that price, and if you don't like the answer try somewhere else. You can always come back. I wound up paying invoice - my $500 Costco discount offset the $500 advertising fee. With 8 Volvo dealers in the DC area, could/should I have gone around to get a better offer? Yes, but at the time my previous vehicle was dead and I wanted to order ASAP and I did right after the test drive. Also because of the economy I wanted to support the dealership closest to my home. I didn't haggle at all, maybe I should have asked for $500 off! Oh well.

Yeah, I'm not buying it. Maybe with Volvo loyalty. About all you can expect in the DC region is about 500 above invoice and then loyalty subtracted from there. Thats where all their true car numbers are for everyone in that region. Why give up what seeminly dealers cannot keep in stock? Your better negotiating with te dealer closet to you, for reasons of long term you will be servicing with them. If they have what you want in stock believe me dealer trades in te Volvo world for xc69s are never guaranteed jump on it before someone else does.

$40699 sounds like a good price for the vehicle. I just started negotiating for the same specs. Any tips? I'm in DC.

Mine finally came! So far, so good. I'm still testing everything out and getting used my new toy. Wooo! Just to sum up my buying experience. The dealer offered me $300 over invoice on the spot but he mentioned the Costco discount so I renewed my Costco membership to get $500 under invoice. But this discount is countered by a $500 advertising fee which is supposed to be common for all dealerships in the DC area (my dealership is in Alexandria, VA). So with the Costco discount I paid right at invoice. I ordered my XC60 on Dec 17th and it was ready for me to pick up on Feb 24th. The wait sucked. Total invoice was $45,995: (nadaguides.com has an accurate listing of invoice prices) 2011 XC60 T6- $36,096 Saville Grey / Black interior- 517 Multimedia Pkg- 2538 Technology Pkg- 1974 Convenience Pkg- 1128 Climate Pkg- 940 BLIS- 658 PCC- 517 Xenon- 752 At F&I I was offered but declined: Lojack ~$1000 (do you need this when the vehicle has an ignition immobilizer?), 7-year paint sealant and interior treatment ~$690 (didn't believe it would work - I'll just wax and clean as necessary), tire & rim warranty ~$750 (likely damage would be from an accident and covered by my auto insurance), 4-year dent protection ~$700 (I'll just get dents/dings repaired as needed by a paintless dent repair guy), and maybe one other thing. I did buy a 10-year, 105K warranty for $3350 to cover the electronics and help the resale of this vehicle (I'll probably sell at year 7 so I can hopefully get a full-electric mid-size SUV). So my total vehicle cost was: Invoice- $45,995 Titling tax- 96 Dealer Business Lic. tax- 78.84 Sales tax (MD)- 2072.19 License fee- 180 Dealer Processing fee- 379 = $49,601.03 + $3350 (warranty) = $52,951.03. (Doh!) The front blind view camera is not included in the Multimedia package, so I'm waiting for a price for the dealer to install that. Has anyone had this installed yet? I don't know why Volvo doesn't make that an option for the US. It's an option for UK buyers.

That's good news. Are you in the DC area also? I haven't spoken with my dealership since I placed my order on 12/17. No clue where mine is but the salesman said mid-february so I'll call them on 2/15. Mine is Saville gray with black interior. I've tried to wait patiently but that's been impossible. I've been looking at XC60 vids daily on YouTube (even the crappy dealership ads), I've read the entire owners manual and navigation manual (S60) on the Volvo website, and I was looking at the front cover of the XC60 brochure so much I had to turn it face-down. This is as close to opening presents on Christmas Day as it gets for an adult... haha.
