Gentlemen (and ladies), So I am a proud owner of black, 2007 Volvo S40, so far so good, can't complain. I had a pleasure to drive similar vehicles before so it is not surprising to me that driving that car gives so much pleasure. If I could I would sleep in that car :) Now hopefully it will last long before I will have to switch to newer model. Of course ... Read More
Hi all! I am torn between leasing a 2010 S40 T5 AWD R-Design and an Audi A4 Premium Plus Quattro. I have a 2007 S40 T5 AWD and loved it. Here are the lease options I have negotiated so far for the car with metallic, cold weather pkg and multimedia pkg: MSRP= $34,650 Cap cost= $27,850 Months MF Resid Up Front Monthly 36 0.00237 15246 1572 497.48 39 0.00237 14553 1561 ...

Sure, it is possible there is an issue with the CD player. Make sure you are closing the session on the disc as well in your burning software. Not all FM stations do song titles. At least in my area. My T5 also has the Sirius option, which I listen to 95% of the time. -Brian
I just tried a disc burned at 24x. Still unreadable. I am now officially confused and wishing I had my old F150 back. What speed should I try? 8x? I know it will play copied CDs but I'm wondering if the manuals are stock and the player the car has is damaged. The other weird thing is that it doesn't update the FM song titles... at all.. If I unselect the ... Read More
Okay, I tried all that. Nothin'. 'Disc Unreadable'. My CD burner runs at 48x speed.. my CDs say 52x. They work everywhere else. I guess this means a call to Volvo. I'm computer savvy, but apparently not Volvo savvy.
Might also try burning at a slower speed (default is max of your burner). My discs were made on an XP laptop. If you have a DVD player at home, you might want to try the mp3 disc there too, many of them are able to play these as well. You can use it as another confirmation that the disc is not a coaster. I also found that CD text works ... Read More
Thank you very much. I have that brand discs 2 feet from me right now and both of those programmes. I used Windows Media Player on a Vista laptop for MP3s that was 'unreadable'. But I have an older version on an XP machine. Sounds goofy that if one doesn't work the other might but that's computers for ya. Also, I will try Nero. Thanks for raising my hopes!
I know my '07 T5 plays wma/mp3 discs CD-R's just fine. I usually just make the disc w/o folders, but have a couple that have 2 or 3 levels of folders that work too. I made the discs in Windows Media Player as well as Nero. Verbatim CD-R media, if that matters. -Brian
So my car manual says my single disc CD player will play MP3s as long as they are not copy protected. I have made MP3 CDs for my previous Ford pickup trucks that worked just fine, even with folders separating the music. I tried them in the Volvo and the discs are unreadable. I have some copied *.CDA songs which the car likes just fine so apparently the player prefers Sony ... Read More
Actually, they may well add up. I got the same pitch from one dealer when I was shopping for my S40. He had a lot of unsold S80s on his lot that he wanted to move. The current model S80 has never sold well, starting from its introduction, and Volvo has heavily subsidized this model with very aggressive leasing and purchase deals from day one. I test drove all three S80 ... Read More
jb911, 2007? My area's 2007 S40's were gone by August of last year. I'm surprised your dealer has any left, much less 9. If a 2008, not sure on the money factor and residual but the current manufacturer-to-dealer incentives for both a lease and a buy are $1500. As of 4/1/08, Volvo greatly reduced the $5000 and $6000 lease incentives that it had been offering.
Does anyone know the current lease deals or incentives available for 2007 s40? My local Volvo dealership has 9 in stock and I'm sure they are very willing to get rid of them. My ideal lease would be 36 months at 12,000 miles per year. What would be the money factor and residual? Are there any manufacturer incentives available? Thanks, Jeff
This looks cool, it would be a nice car in a different color. Anyone know when it will be available? :) http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/03/scoop-2009-volvo-s40.html
Hello, I am a sales consultant for Volvo and own a S40 T5 myself. I leased my car last july I believe, and since I do work for Volvo I am very satisfied with the deal I was able to give myself. Let me share with you what I got b/c it doesnt seem like much b/c Volvo doesnt offer very much incentives for the T5. So don't be turned off ... Read More
fiorenza, That seems like a pretty good deal but it's difficult to tell if you include TTL because every state is different in that regard. Could you please provide the price before TTL for comparison? Also, did you get the sense that dealers were more willing than usual to make a deal to move some cars? The Volvo manufacturer-to-customer rebate isn't that high right now but I'm wondering if dealers have ... Read More
Dear CarMan, I'm finding myself at a bit of a cross roads in my pursuit of an S40 T5, and would appreciate your insights. Back in August--prior to the new 2008's arriving I had the following offer presented to me, after much haggling: 2007 S40 T5 with.. Metallic Paint, Premium Package, and dynaaudio Miles: 12K/year $32,805 - MSRP $26,609 - Capital cost reduction Lease offered: 36 mo., at $330/mo. (payment included ... Read More
> There is a plastic clip on the driver side window. In reading through the manual, it mentions this being a ticket holder or something like that. Can this be removed? This was a European delivery car so it may be something that is more standard on the European cars (I didn't notice it on the 2007 Volvo S40s). We have a 2007. The manual says that we have one but ... Read More
Well, I pulled the trigger and purchased the 2006 Volvo S40 T5 FWD. I was a little nervous about the squealing noise when going around corners, but it looked like it was due to low tire pressure. So now that I'm a proud owner of an S40, I have a few questions. 1. What gas should I use? The manual says 91 so I'm wondering if I really need to use ... Read More
Ok, I went to a dealer today and test drive an 07 S40. The car is good given it's the entry level of Volvo sedan. But I was hoping to get a good deal on this. However, the dealer wanted to rip me off and thought I was a dumb in car purchase. 2007 s40 2.4i w/ select package auto transmission sport package body styling package sirius radio MSRP: $30,355 Invoice: ...

Hello: For the 2007 Volvo S40 lease, with payment of $350 per month, did you put anything down?
Thanks for the response Car_man! Can you provide me with updated money factors, residuals and lease incentives for the month of October (2007 and 2008 S40 2.4i). Thanks again in advance!
Got quoted 2007 volvo s40 2.4i with select package auto transmission leather sirius radio climate package $24,900 + tax, license MSRP is $30,300 What do you guys think?
So, did you get a deal completed over the Labor Day holiday? At least the way it was explained to me when I got my '07 S40 T5 FWD on 8/29 was that there was more $ incentive to lease outside of Volvo finance, so that is what I did. As I posted in the PP forum subearu, "Volvo S40 Prices Paid and Buying Experience" #650, 29 Aug 2007 7:37 pm ... Read More
Thanks. TTL is tax, title and license. By "30228.95 is what I paid after rebates", you mean the dealer discount? I don't see any official rebates from Volvo. All the "offers" are on lease, not purchase. mfw
TTL - is that Tax, Tags and L? Anyway 30228.95 is what I paid after rebates. Take my trade in, subtract that from 30228.95, and pay tax on the difference. Tags I transferred. Not sure what L is. No additional rebates, I don't recall the MSRP - you can get that by building a similar vehicle on volvo.com if you really need to ...
Sorry, I don't know what is the right price. But let's start a new topic with more detail on the spec, and leave the TTL out since it is different for every state. 2007 S40 2.4i Base : $24,240 styling : $1675 (leather seat) Select pkg : $1823 Sport pkg : $875 Delivery : $745 ------------------------- Total MSRP : 29358 What should be a reasonable price (before TTL)? $23000? $22500? I ... Read More
Well boy did this deal just change. I got another dealer involved and told the original dealer I was going to go with the other. I genuinely was going to. They had a loaner that had a MSRP of 31,000 and 7500 miles on it. They were going to give it to me for 25800. The other dealer just countered with a 2007 Volvo S40 2.4, Automatic, leather, Climate pkg, and ... Read More
First car buying experience where I am the negotiator. The dealer's initial quote on 2007 Volvo S40 2.4 Titanium Grey w/Beige T Tech. Automatic Trans Met Paint Climate Package (which I don't really want, but this is the most basic model has found that can get at the moment) The MSRP is 27,335. He is giving me a quote of 24,860 and out the door with Taxes and tags 25972.00. I ... Read More
I'd be happy to help you out, sprinkler13. These cars' lease programs vary by trim level, term, and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease of a 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i with 15,000 miles per year and a similar lease on an '07 S60 2.5T. Let me know if you want something different. According to the latest information that I have seen, ... Read More

I also purchased my volvo during the weekend. Here is the information: 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i Auto plus Metalic, price: $22900 + TTL. I think I get a pretty good deal, though not as good as fm8dci's 22200. :-) It is from the NoVA's largest dealer. Thanks Guys.
Hi ledname. The large amount of lease cash that you have seen mentioned is for leases of 2007 S40s through independent banks. Volvo Finance also has its own special lease program that this cash is not compatible with. It appears as though community members have been getting the best deals by taking advantage of the cash and leasing through banks other than Volvo Finance. The exact amount of this incentive varies ... Read More
Hi Alex. The lease program for this car varies by term and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Volvo Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 S40 2.4i with 15,000 miles per year are .00184 and 52%, ... Read More
It looks like the current S40 is a teaser from Volvo to gauge market response. Expect the next S40 to make a giant leap forward as it will replaces S60. If this is true Volvo is realigning its models to compete directly with Mercedes and BMW. I think this is Volvo plan: No more S60, improve the S40 to take its place, and add a top-of-the line ultra-luxury Volvo to competes ... Read More

Hi jpierotti. Volvo actually increased its cash incentive on leases of the 2007 S40 T5 AWD through independent banks to $6,000 in March. You can go with this program, or take advantage of Volvo Finance's special lease program for this car. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
Hello kathiew. A base 2007 Volvo S40 2.4i has a spread of over $1,400 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. I'm surprised that the dealer that you spoke with wouldn't provide you with any sort of discount on this car. It's not a bad vehicle, but it's not like consumers are beating down showroom doors to get it. It definitely would be in your best interest to comparison ... Read More
Hey qbrozen. Volvo has cash incentives for leases of all variants of the 2007 S40 that are leased through independent banks. Its allowances are $3,000 on the '07 S40 2.4i, $4,500 on the '07 T5, and $5,500 on the '07 S40 T5 AWD. It also is providing $500 owner loyalty / conquest cash on the '07 S40 that you should be able to take advantage of of you are currently leasing ... Read More
I purchased my s40 black on black t-tec seathing, with select package from West side Volvo CA. off internet purchase, 3000 down total 23,500- 425. month and this is a keeper love the car..
My 05 S40 is in the shop because of an engine warning message. Volvo immediately diagnosed the problem as an air cooling fan. While in the shop, they gave me an 07 model - I can't believe Volvo has not updated the interior, such as the placement of the armrest, lack of storage space, especially in the door, and has not improved the car's blind spots. Otherwise, still a great car ... Read More
I'm more curious as to why someone takes the time to go on a message board and post such things. I spell it T-R-O-L-L-ing for a response. ;b
It is shorter than BMW 3 or Audi A4 or Acura TSX, that is why some may consider it small, but the interior volume is respectful due to the clever traverse engine mount.
I'm more curious as to why someone takes the time to go on a message board and post such things. I think I'd rather be doing something else. I think it is a very nice, sleek looking car. Not sure why anyone would think it is small? It isn't the size of a Honda Fit or something. It is a compact car, so it isn't going to be the size of ... Read More
And my question to you is why would you even bother to ask this question here? My answer to you is: S40 is arguably the most stylish small sedan and is rather beautiful to me. The gas mileage is in line with all direct competition S40 has surprisingly large interior volume for its "smallish" look. Volvo in general is not in the business of building sport cars. You need to look ... Read More
The Volvo S40 looks boring just like all Volvo's. Why is it so small? For such a small car it gets terrible gas mileage. It does not offer any sporty options. My question is why would anyone buy it?
I have a 2007 S40, and it only got 3,500 miles on it. The "Check Engine" light came one last Saturday. I called the Volvo service and they told me to check the gas cap to make sure it's closed. Sometime the car's computer might think there is a gas leak if it is not tightly closed. Then give it 24 hours to see if the light would go away. Any ... Read More
Hi c_anvil. It looks as though this lease is being run through an independent bank rather than through Volvo Finance. The advantage of doing this is you can take advantage of a $3,000 cash incentive. When this cash incentive is backed out of this deal, you are getting around a $1,600 discount. This is a pretty good discount on a car that doesn't have much of a spread between its MSRP ... Read More
Greetings hatl22. I don't believe that Volvo is providing lease support on 2006 models any longer. If you really want to lease this car, you will probably have to do so through an independent bank. Use the $3,000 cash incentive that is currently available on leftover 2006 S40s to negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer work up a lease payment for you. Unfortunately, I ... Read More
Hello to all, I am interested in a Volvo in Minneapolis. There is a 2006 S40 T5 2WD for sale at a dealer in the area for $27,500. It is new (not a program return or anything), so I am hoping to work out a nice lease for around/under $300/mo. Is this unreasonable given that there aren't incentives or lease support for 2006s now? Or has there been a change? How ... Read More
Greetings bamboo4. Volvo is currently providing a $4,500 incentive on S40 T5 2WD models that are leased through independent banks. If you are only getting $2,500 of it, you can do better. Furthermore, the selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. So, you should be able to get the entire $4,500 off of this car's price and then at least ... Read More
You're welcome, bigdummy77. It is very important that you find out this car's selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash or financing it. You wouldn't pay cash for a car without asking its price. This is the same thing. Without knowing what this car's selling price is, it's difficult to tell how good a deal you are getting on it. Find ... Read More
Hi lesvolvos40. Volvo is no longer providing lease support on 2006 S40 models, but it is providing $3,000 closeout dealer cash on it. Volvo is currently providing a $3,000 cash incentive on 2007 S40 2.4i and $4,500 on S40 T5 models that are leased through independent banks. I do not believe that it has cash incentives for these models when they are leased through Volvo Finance, but it does have a ... Read More
Hi Car-man, I am in the process of leasing the volvo S40 2.4i. I need an automatic with just the basic features. Also, I need 20,000 miles each year. One dealer quoted me $412.00 each month with nothing down for a 36 month lease. Is this a fair offer?
Hi Carman, I'm looking to lease a 2007 Volvo S40 4D Sedan T5 Leather/sunroof, automatic. I live in Portland, Oregon. This is the deal I got from a dealer. Original MSRP: $25,385.00, Customer Cash Rebate: $2,500, Residual Value (49%) $12,438.65, 10,500 miles/yr, adjusted residual value: $12,692.50. It is for 36 months and with payment of $298.73/month. I believe it's a USB - Lease Program Tier 1 - Bureau Score 700+ - ... Read More
lesvolvos40, I concur - it would be worth your trip to visit Bill Gray in Pittsburgh (a few hours away from Columbus). I put a deposit on an S40 T5 AWD with them. They have been a pleasure to deal with so far and blew away the best quotes I received from two other dealers. I have gone to Ohio myself to make a car purchase (BMW 3-series) in the past, ...

lesvolvos40, I do not know if you can achieve that goal in Columbus, but I know Bill Gray Volvo in Pittsburgh has that very car sitting right on their showroom floor.

I cannot give you his name on this ... Read More
Car_Man, I am in the market to get a 2006 or 2007 S40 (any model) for $300 a month or less. The only things I need are automatic and heated seats.

Hey jobualli. It does not appear as though the leases that you were quoted are bring run through Volvo Finance. Volvo Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 S40 T5 AWD with 15,000 miles per year are an amazing .00001 and 51%, respectively. The deals that you were quoted are probably being run through an independent bank. Volvo dealers sometimes ... Read More

Both are for a 2007 S40 T5 AWD 6-speed manual, metallic paint, audio pkg, climate pkg, premium pkg, 15,000 miles per year, and $1350 up front. Scenario 1 - 48 month lease, $450/month payment. Scenario 2 - 36 month lease, $483/month payment. Are these good offers? Which ... Read More
From reading the board, i think that $4000 off MSRP isn't bad at all for a new 2007. That's about 13% off msrp. When i was shopping for '07 2.4i AT base, i was offerred 12% off MSRP. Seems like that's the going rate with these '07's. Do you know if the $4000 off contains a discount for using Volvo financing? And was the $4000 off a result of mentioning pricing ... Read More

I am getting ready to purchase a S40 T5 but am not sure if I should consider the AWD. A friend drove a BMW 325 AWD and FWD and said that it was like night and day in terms of ride.

That about 12.8% discount for '07...which is the same % off that what i was offered on a 2007 S40 2.4i in GA. Since these cars just came out, i'm not sure that you can expect any heavier discounts. Anyone else care to share? Deeper reductions are obviously in the 2006 models. I am actually holding out for the best deal on an '07 (since it is a big investment, like ... Read More
I am interested in a 2007 S40 T5 and have located one with the Premium and Audio packages, Sirius radio, Bluetooth option, Sagitta wheels, and metallic paint.

This is a big investment for me and I want to be sure to get the best ... Read More
For pricing information, go to www.flyvolvo.com - they do lots of overseas deliveries. You get about 8% off the base MSRP and pay MSRP for your options. Volvo also throws in 2 tix to Sweden and one night's stay. You cannot negotiate a better price as the dealer gets a flat amount from Volvo for processing the order. You typically can do better buying locally due to incentives unless you really ... Read More
dobrovod, are you doing the Overseas Delivery method? I having been looking into that and trying to figure out if it is worth it. If you wouldn't mind sharing, can you advise on how the pricing works with that? I'm just wondering if you found you are getting a better price by doing overseas delivery. It seems like there are a lot of people on here saying they are getting around ... Read More

The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease of this car are .00233 and 55%. If you lease with only 12,000 miles per year, this car's residual values would be 2% ... Read More
Hello stanwelks. Volvo is currently providing $1,750 dealer cash on the 2007 S40. I do not believe that this cash is compatible with leases though Volvo Finance though. I am sure that the dealer you are working with took it into account when they quoted you a selling price for a cash purchase of this car, so they price for a lease of one through Volvo Finance may be $1,750 higher. ...

Hi sunvolvo. Volvo is currently providing a number of cash incentives on the 2006 S40 in your area. It has $2,000 bonus cash on it plus an additional $1,000 conquest / loyalty cash, plus an additional $1,250 lease cash. This all adds up to a total of $4,250 on leases of this car through Volvo Finance. This is before any sort of dealer discount. I am sure that most dealer will ... Read More

My wife and I looked at a BMW 325xi similarly equipped as the Volvo. First, we didn't like it especially the set-up of the interior and more importantly, it was pushing $40K instead of just over $31K.
I'm as much pro S40 as anyone else on this forum is but I have to be honest. If you have the funds to plunk down 31-32 grand for a volvo......look at the BMW 3series. I was barely able to pay 21060 for my 2006 2.4i and darn happy I did I might add. It kind of gets me that I here some of you waggle around and ask I 32,000 ... Read More
Welcome to the menagerie of S40 nuts...In August of 2006 you'd be lucky to get that invoice...esp if you special order it from Ghent...why not a 2006 and get $5400 off MSRP. I asked the finance guy at the Volvo place what the diff was between my 2006 S40 2.4i and an identical 2007 model..he said "NO DEALS!" (which means no $5400 off MSRP like I got.) Do yourself a favor ... Read More
The S60 is scheduled for a redesign in 2006 or 2007. Volvo has charge of the platform for that car. Meaning that there probably won't be as much sharing in this car as you might think. 6th beatle, WHAT????? The 5 cyl has been around for over 10 yrs w/ hundreds of thousands of engines built. Name me one new car that is cheap to fix. Even your precious honda and ... Read More
Hello - - I have just purchased a used 2000 Volvo S40 in white. It has 34,000 miles on it and looks near perfect. We paid a bit too much for the car (16,997), but if it holds up and runs well for years to come (as we expect from a Volvo) we're ok with paying what we paid. We also have the pre-owned, certified factory warranty (through 2007), which was ... Read More
