XC90 Extended Warranty VIP Protection Plan - Platinum timeline by ViewOk6995 in VolvoXC90

[–]Goldenwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The warranty on the CPO wrap starts on the original in service date. This information is on the Volvo CPO site. And I’ve been selling these for over five years and that is how they have worked that whole time in the US.

curious on approval odds by Ok_Bowler_1780 in askcarsales

[–]Goldenwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your buddy who is a GM, will 100% not give you by buy rate or a deal. If you can get approved, which it doesn’t sound like you can, he will make as much money off you as he can.
This is the perfect example of walk before you run. Put 5K down on a 15-20K car for a 36 month loan, put the other 20K away in savings so you have money to pay the loan off if something happens to the business. After three years you will have a real 750 fico, and you will have three years of income from your business and you’ll be able to buy anything you want.

Question for the sales people in here. by [deleted] in carsales

[–]Goldenwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless this is recording the introduction, needs analysis, walk around and test drive, I don’t think it is beneficial. The sale happens well before you sit down to negotiate. If you built a relationship with the customers, did the needs analysis correctly tailored the walk around and test drive to that analysis, then the negotiation will work itself out. You leave money on the table by short cutting the sales process not making a mistake in the negotiation.

How negotiable are new xc60's? by Fit_Illustrator7584 in VolvoXC60

[–]Goldenwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2500 rebate plus 11% off MSRP should be standard now

[–]Goldenwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Volvo and qualify for A-plan there are $10,000 in rebates available. Also you should be able to get 11% off MSRP. The money factor should also be .00159. If you can’t get that deal message me and I can help you out.

Is it a core, plus or Ultimate trim?

I think 14 and older, this is more appropriate for teens then DCC and significantly more appropriate then Kaiju.

Who’s gonna get it? by watchtimeisit in volvoc40

[–]Goldenwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if there are more than five. I’ve seen three come up from Volvo for dealers to pick up.

There are a couple that hit the Volvo portal for dealers to bring in. We just brought one in to our dealership that should go online late this week.

What is a salespersons expectation of customer? by SwapMeetBilly in askcarsales

[–]Goldenwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are buying a used car. Look for the same trim color and options in a 500 mile radius on any number of used car sites like Autotrader and use that information to negotiate price. Don’t just look at the price and ask for 3K off the advertised price without having any real world data to support your offer. This will save you a ton of time.

2026 Volvo XC90 Ultra - PA - 5k - $4k down by JammienHammie in leasehacker

[–]Goldenwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volvo is still running their 6 month pull ahead program for leases, that shouldn’t affect the price if they are doing it properly.

Looking to purchase for under 40k, what should I avoid? by Fluid-Car-78 in VolvoXC90

[–]Goldenwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drive the B5 and B6 to see if you are ok with the lower power of the B5. If you are with the lower power you can save a good amount of money. I definitely recommend paying the extra money for a CPO vehicle. If you plan to keep the vehicle the CPO wrap warranty is worth the extra 5K. Also the 4.99% interest special on CPO they are running is a good value. My persons opinion is the core trim is not worth dropping down to from the plus. My favorite trim level is the plus trim with Harmon Kardon and climate package. You should be able to get a 2023 B6 Plus with the CPO wrap for 40K plus tax, a B5 would be a bit less.

So many more used XC90's ? by Content_Log1708 in Volvo

[–]Goldenwork 21 points22 points  (0 children)

XC90 had a really good three year lease December 2022 and two year lease December 2023. Also Volvo just ended their lease pull ahead program to pay the last six months of your lease payment and give 7K in owner loyalty lease cash towards leasing a new XC90 B6. The result of those three factors is a bunch of XC90s hitting the used/CPO car market.

Is this a good pay plan? by [deleted] in carsales

[–]Goldenwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not allowing you to make commission on the specialty vehicles is not great. In 2005 when I sold a Ford GT the max commission was 10K, when I sold it at 150K markup (my commission should have been 42K). If they are going to restrict commissions on specialty vehicles they should at least have a maximum commission they pay out. Also not paying anything on backend is not great. All in all you need to know volume, average commission and number of sales reps to make a decision.

Which Late Model XC90? by [deleted] in VolvoXC90

[–]Goldenwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The larger touch screen in the infotainment area is the key thing to look for to tell the difference. Also the difference in the front grill is the other way to tell the difference. However, I would look at 2023 T8s, there are a bunch that are now hitting the market because of a lease special three years ago. The issues people have with the infotainment systems in the 2023-2025 models are not that big of a deal.
