2013 S60 T5 AWD S60 2013

I have never bought a new car before and the volvo dealer basically told me the price was non-negotiable. They gave me a 6% discount off MSRP and then when the car is delivered I will get whatever promotional discounts I qualify for. I'm ordering a:

2013 S60 T5 AWD
Black
Beige interior
Premier plus
Climate pkg
__Technology pkg__
17" wheel upgrade ($250)

The technology package is forcing me to order since no dealerships nearby can locate one for me.

The price the dealer quoted was 38700, plus tax, title+reg (dealer's price $65), plus $20 in state fees.

Is this a fair price. It seems good to me based on trucar value and usaa pricing (maybe 1000 up from Usaa, but that seems reasonable), but I don't feel like there was any negotiation.

-Nathan

    You can't beat the deal. There is NO negotiating with new Volvo's especially the S60. It's a hot seller.

    Don't know how the optional equipment compares, but here's what $33,363+ gets you:

    And that's BEFORE the wheeling and dealing even begins.

    One of our local Chevy dealers used to have a billboard along the freeway that read "Haggle free pricing? What fun is that?"

    Spend the money for the Consumer Reports pricing on this car.

    Or, call Orloff Volvo in Chicago, they quote cheep over the phone or by email.

    "...when the car is delivered I will get whatever promotional discounts I qualify for..."

    And who determines what you "qualify" for? The dealer? Seems pretty odd they can't tell you right now what those discounts will be.

    I wouldn't have the slightest idea whether that's a good price or not - all the cars I've owned in my 60 years don't add up to nearly that much. But I can't believe that there is such a high demand for that car that the dealer can get away with telling you what the price will be and then expect you to buy into it with no further negotiation. I'd offer less and when they get all wound up about how unrealistic you're being, just tell them "Thank you for your time, I'll have to think it over" and head for the door. If they don't chase you out to your car you can bet they'll be calling you in the next day or two. Also, don't think for a minute that "dealers invoice" is what they actually have in the car. It doesn't account for the factory incentives (kick-backs), volume discounts, and what ever else they receive from Volvo. Plus, if you finance it through the dealer, they get about a 1% kick-back from the finance company.

    If it were me, I'd keep shopping.
