I was going to say 'Let's run the numbers'... S80

...but I just found a carsdirect.com offer of $32,679 for a BRAND NEW S80T6 in my zip and THAT's a number that's going to be just about impossible to beat with a lease.

In fact, $32,679 is an awfully attractive number for a T6.

I might suggest buying the 100,000 mile Volvo extended warranty and trading the car at 99,000 miles, though.

I'm usually not an advocate of either leasing or selling a car with "only" 100,000 miles on the clock, but I added up my repairs for the last year, and geez, I coulda leased a Bimmer. And yes, I drive a lot, so I'd get nailed with about $2000 in excess mileage charges for each year of the lease.

And my V70 isn't nearly as complex as an S80.
