Depends on what one is looking for in a car and also personality and the reasons for getting a car.

 

People say, some professions like docs and lawyers get Volvo bec they treasure Safety first and foremost.

 

Businessmen need batch, so mercs and younger folks with full of fire and energy need the ultimate driving machine, BMW

 

So would think top 3 reasons why people choose Volvo would be

 

Safety

Cabin Comfort

Solid Build

 

Minor reasons would include

 

cost, cheaper than Merc/BMW

Driving pattern

external looks etc

guys, can kindly share your views what is it of Volvo the 1 thing that you like or makes you willing to comeup 6 figs to buy?

I like the Wearnes/SMotor AD service center (but a buyer to be won't necessarily know that until he's gotten 1), somewhat the angular Volvo signature design, the solid safety of course hence bought 1 3 yrs ago for wife as family drive but she hates it so much (especially the big bad turning radius) I drove it instead & she took my sportscar as daily ride swapped..

If it wasn't the 300bhp & below 6s performance plus sound, I too wouldn't have survived the ride for years till now..so some good thoughts of your vol. ride pl., as my nice gather of your comments in fondness of having sold my loud R-design version.

Only rich docs go for Porsche and so prob can also see in orchard road hospitals

 

Porsche not a common sighting when we visit our government polyclinics or hospitals  

 

Honda and Toyota now way way ahead in sales

 

So Japanese cars still most common for any job

Anyone book the S60 T2 for $125K last weekend at EXPO?

Just sharing...

 

Thought the price of this car is about right. Imo, price is about the same as Camry 2.0 and Teana 2.0 though this had higher depreciation due to lower ARF. Thought the couple of hundred bucks can be compensated since Volvo has got a good reputation for mini tank.

 

Chat with the SE also, realised that they are quite sticky on loan amount (think is 5 years, 80k) and wants your used car at scrap value . Mine still had a life span of 1.3 years. Thought too good to throw at them at scrap value. I think worth giving them if like got 3 - 5 months left while waiting for Coe.

 

Also.. No freebies offered by SE to entice the deal, or he don't like me.

rice price of 125k for s60 T2 is reasonable in today's market

 

But not a direct comparison with Camry and teana bec these jap cars have more hp

 

The interest rate for Volvo usually higher and they do not usually do trade ins or provide over trade

 

So better to sell your old car on your own, 1.3 years old  left jap cars  can get decent price

 

Nothing to do with whether you are handsome or not, its all about business

 

So sure got freebies lah, unless you appear too Green [nod]  [bounce2]

Agreed. And maybe comfort and spaciousness.

The nett price to you is 125k. My guess is the loan is based on list price which is much higher and then there will be discounts/over trades etc. according to Volvo price list from sg carmart it shows 155k

Wearnes rarely plays this trade in or overtrade game

 

No such thing as must trade in or else top up.

 

Bec this depends on age of your car and the price they give u for your used car 

 

You quote 125k without trade in give the cheque on the spot and let us know if they will take it [laugh]

 

Agreed. And maybe comfort and spaciousness.

Don't need to guess, you are 110% right.

 

But they do offer an over trade for your vehicle, was offered 4K

 

Hope this help

One way or another the ADs need to boost sales and loans(they earn a cut of the interest) so there are roundabout ways. Over trade/balloon scheme etc

the drive and torque for a turbo vs the japs is quite different.

 

I wont bet on the higher HP being a better car.
