I have a Volvo S40 with less than 1000 miles on it, and it developed a brake fire in the right passenger rear tire well. Has anyone else had problems with their brakes? Read More...

Re: Is this Right? [yingxiong]

Written by: Car_man on Sep 24, 2009 03:03 AM

Hi yingxiong. The $3,000 allowance that you have seen referenced on Volvo's website is for 2009 S40 models. The $1,250 is on 2010 S40 models. Naturally they cannot be combined. Volvo is providing an additional $4,250 "Alternative Lease Assistance" cash incentive on the '09 S40, but in order to take advantage of this cash you must lease this car through a bank ...

Is this Right?

Written by: yingxiong on Sep 06, 2009 06:36 PM

The Volvo website is advertising $3000 "allowance" for a S40 2.4i. In addition, the current incentives I found online include $4250 Alternative Lease Assistance cash for the 2010 model plus $1250 dealer support ($3750/$3000 for 2009 model). I know that sometimes incentives are regional (I live in CT), or cannot be combined with other deals, but I can't find ... Read More...

Re: Lease question [meyanbarredo]

Written by: Car_man on Jul 24, 2009 03:29 AM

Hi meyanbarredo. Volvo's advertised lease payment for the 2009 S40 is not based upon full MSRP. It already assumes some sort of dealer discount. If you are able to negotiate a larger discount on the car that you are interested in than the one that is being used to arrive at the advertised payment, which is likely, your monthly payment would be lower...at least before ...

Volvo S40 lease special

Written by: mannyljr on Jul 22, 2009 02:31 PM

I just left San Diego Volvo and they were advertising a lease on a new 2009 S40, MSRP $29375, 60 month lease @ $269 plus tax, $2995 total down, 12,000 miles/year, $0.18 per extra miles. They also have a 5 year warranty with scheduled maintenance including wear items like tires. This sounds like a great deal and I have a Cash-For-Clunkers car to handle the money down. ...

Re: Current figures for a S40 [mel10021]

Written by: Car_man on Jun 23, 2009 03:06 AM

Hi mel10021. Volvo Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 S40 with 10,000 miles per year are 00266 and 49%, respectively. There is a good chance that you will be able to get a better payment on this car by leasing it through a bank other than Volvo Finance. Volvo is currently providing a special $4,500 cash ...

Re: VOLVO S40 Lease rates [shop4cars1]

Written by: Car_man on Mar 03, 2009 02:45 AM

Hi shop4cars1. I do have the info that you're looking for. Volvo's lease program for the S40 varies by trim level, term, and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what any of these variables are, so for now I am going to have to make some assumptions. Let me know if you want something different. Volvo Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value ... Read More...

Volvo S40 vs BMW 3 Series

Re: Not open to debate [mayberryguy]

Written by: cubanomx on Dec 14, 2008 02:58 PM

5.Volvo=Ford This is again a sign of limited understanding of several brand factors. Ford owns Volvo, and nothing more. Some people out there purchase a Ford Focus 2008 and believe they have a Volvo. Because the T5 engine and the S40 chassis is so good, they use it in the Focus ST. But that is all. The electronics used in the S40 is high grade - high end extreme 0.001 ... Read More...
