Looking at the Costco program as well. It is not a lease as I understand it. It is employee pricing less $500 and a $500 Costco card. This looks like it amounts to about a $3,500 savings off MSRP. MSRP for a 2010 3.2 AWD with lots of options was $40,750 and they quoted just over $37k. With the safe + sound, this looks like a good deal compared to the other cars in class. I ... Read More...

For what it is worth, I tried to buy a 2009 XC90 for about a month during August/September. The dealers have very few XC90's for sale and were refusing to go much below LIST price. I contacted ALL Volvo dealers in a 15 state area and most have no XC90 to sell. Those that do have an XC90 to sell are looking for list price and not negotiating at all. I've decided to wait and ...

For apple to apple comparisons, I do not include sales tax. I also metioned $0 down; not sure if the lease deal has the same term. The cost of ownership really depends on what type of maintenance I choose. The local mainekee can perform the basic tire rotation and oil changes inexpensively. Based on these examples were are at a point where a CPO buy and a new lease might ... Read More...

Sorry I missed your point about buying CPO. However, a used CPO car isn't the same as a brand new car so its hard to compare, but lets try to break down the differences between leasing new (2009) vs. buying CPO (2007) over 4 years: First, you'll spend more on maintenance on a CPO (assume $500-$1000/year?) x 4 years = $2000-$4000. I spent $1500 on tires alone for the ... Read More...

I said buy a CPO. With those horrible residuals you can hint that used XC90s are going for cheap and with 6 year/100K mile warranty: http://tinyurl.com/n4tfos You get a 4 year loan from chase @ 5.31%: http://tinyurl.com/oxyumh Your payments are $601.26 with $0 down. It makes more sense to buy a CPO rather than to lease a new one; after 4 years you still got equity ... Read More...

Not really, if you're comparing leasing new vs CPO, the money factors, residuals and monthly payments on a CPO would be much worse, so the CPO payments would likely be higher than new car payments. Plus there's far less transparency/uniformity with used cars so dealers have better chances of ripping off customers than with new. Independent banks don't like ... Read More...
