  Be sure of the 'in service' date, as that will impact your warranty down the road ;) . Also, be certain of the Safe&Secure coverage...could be worth a couple grand over time. Also, is this a T6 or 3.2 ? That will make a difference in equipment and value.

  Congrats on winning the World Series sfgiant. I'm not a Giants fan, but this year's team was such a likable group that I found myself rooting for them. What they were able to do after losing an MVP candidate mid-year is impressive. Anyhow, Volvo is not providing lease support on 2012 models any longer. As a result, if you really went to lease you should go with a 2013 model. If ... Read More

  Having just leased our first vehicle after 7 purchases, I have mixed feelings about your deal. IF you got it @ $34K and financed @ 1.5-1.9%, you might find that purchase deal to be better than trying to cover 15K miles a year(Of course, check the residual...you could always buy at the end of the lease BUT would have to deal with the 'disposition' fee).

If so, does it make more sense to get a 2012 model when the residual is at 58% or is there enough discounting done to make an '11 model cheaper? Thanks in advance for any input!
