The Volvo finance specials have NEVER been an option for OSD. Everything is cash only or outside financing.
$900 increase more than covers the complimentary service and, if I am not mistaken, a couple of things have been added in options packages that make the price change a wash.
By all accounts, there still IS a difference- remains b/w 8-12 percent off retail depending upon your configuration, location and model. Needless to say that the OSD experience is pretty damn unique. You can't forget the $2500 worth of free trip they are throwing in nor the VIP treatment.
By the same token, the late model year discounts inflate this savings and increase the attractiveness of the total package... but if I had to do it again, I wouldn't hesitate ONE BIT at 2004 prices.
As for buying from a dealer? Great if you can swing a deal.... but I have been told point blank by the Sales manager that there is NO WAY that a dealer themselves can pay what the average OSD customer pays for their car. That has to count for something?
