Q: I bought a car "volvo" two weeks ago, The air bag light came on and the dealer wants to buy it back because
its too much to fix they will lose money on the car....Can they do this or can I make them fix it.......the car was under warranty
A: The key word is "wants" to buy it back. You don't have to let them - insist that they fix it.

Q: I took my 2008 volvo w/7500mi to dealer to change oil, they forgot to put oil in and started it. What do I do?
The dealership has offered to put a new motor in and offer an extended warranty, but I don't trust the car anymore. I have 2 kids and don't want to get stranded somewhere because of an issue from this. This is a leased car with 7500 miles and it's less than 6 months old. I'm in this for the next 4 years. Could this be bad enough to justify swapping out the lease of the fixed car for a new car? I am paying for a new car not a fixed car every month...opinions/advice would be appreciated!!
A: If they put a new motor in it, it is actually newer than the rest of the car. Make them replace the engine, and give you the extended warranty, but make them give you a warranty on the whole car for at least the 4 years you will have it. If the factory warranty is only three years, you have come out way ahead.
A fixed car is a state of mind. Every time you take the car in under basic warranty, and a repair is done, you are now driving a "fixed' car. Expecting a new car everytime a repair is made is a bit over the top. Be it a big or small repair.
Q: Where can I find a car dealer in Sweden?
I intend to buy myself a car finally... so I decided on an used S40 model from Volvo. Since it's a swedish car I assume I can find it at a cheaper price on their market instead of buying the car from my own country or any other country from the European Union. Can someone please tell me any swedish website similar to the german mobile.de or any other website related to a car dealer in Sweden so I can get in contact with them to find out more about pricing?
Any other help like maybe you know a better deal on a Volvo S40 from anywhere else in Europe is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
A: Your best bet is to buy private party. Sweden has a %25 sales tax so buying private will save you a whole lot of paperwork. You never said where you are from but I live here in Sweden so I know the market. Here is a dealer where I live. www.bilhuset-ystad.se. Below is a link of newspapers in Sweden look in the classifieds. Things to look for, bil is a car, till salu, means for sale, and the most important is the milege. Swedes drive a whole lot. When you see mil:11000 that equals 110,000 km. 1 Swedish mile is 10 KM. So be carefull.
Q: How much discretion does an auto dealer have in setting the residual price on a leased vehicle?
I'm considering a 2007 volvo lease and wish to negotiate each component of the deal to my best advantage. On setting the residual amount, is the dealer locked in to a figure that comes from the finance company or can they set a different, though reasonable, residual in order to get the deal done? I want to structure this lease with 6k miles more than standard and the dealer claims that that reduces the residual so much that buying the miles up front costs me only a few cents less per mile than buying them after the fact as an additional charge. Does the dealer have the discretion to che simply plug in a higher residual to cut this cost for me or is he truly locked in to some residual table and can't deviate from it? Thanks!
A: Residual values are set by the leasing companies. Back in the 1997 time frame leasing companies were very agressive in the effort to obtain more leases so they took a risk and set residuals way too high. As the lease ended & the cars came back to them they lost thousands on each vehicle at auction. As you probably know the payments you pay are based on the difference between the selling price and the residual value. It sounds like your dealer is being straight with you regarding the extra miles fee. Any negotiations for a lease are for less out of pocket money up front and for lower monthly payments. The payments can be lowered by the dealer by discounting the car but not by raising the residual value. Five year leases are not wise.
Q: Should I trade-in my vehicle with a dealer, or sell it privately at trade-in value? It needs work.?
I have a 2001 Volvo S40 with 150,000 miles. It needs significant work (front end redo, rear shocks, etc), bringing its trade-in value down to $1,600. One of the mechanics has offered to buy it for that price. Is it better to sell it to him or use it in negotiations to buy a used car from a dealer?
A: with 150K if you can get 1600 you should take the money and run. If the car needs all that work it's going to be worth far less as a trade in
Q: is it fraud if a dealer sold me a car that had been recalled?
i purchased a 2002 volvo c70 about a month ago. i am now experiencing problems with it, and i come to find out that the car had been recalled because of a throttle problem which is the same thing that had broken on my car. what are my options in this situation, is the dealer responsible?
i live in new york but i bought the car in new jersey from the ramsay auto group(which includes a volvo dealer), i bought it from the pontiac branch they told me it was there because that is the dealer that does the internet sales.
A: Most dealers do not check for outstanding recalls on vehicles that they sell. The only time they would is if they (a) were a new car dealer selling the same brand at the same location, or (b) having a problem with the car and wanted to see if they could get it fixed for free!
In other words, if you had purchased the car from a Volvo dealer, they most likely would have checked for recalls (so they could get paid for the work) Another dealer is not going to take the time and effort to look for outstanding recalls and then spend more time taking the car to get the work done!
If there is a recall on your car, any Volvo dealer will make the repair for you free of charge!! Call your local dealer and have them check your V.I.N. for any outstanding recalls!
The selling dealer has no responsibility to look for problems. Unless you can prove that they knew about the recall, and they also knew it was not done, you have no complaint with them!!

Q: How do I program a 98 V70 remote key fob?
My Volvo dealer gave me a $370 quote to fix my keyless entry. My non-dealer Volvo specialist told my husband that we would have to go to dealer OR we could just by one on ebay for $30. Needless to say, that fits into my budget better. I did find one, but it does not include instructions on how to program it. Can anyone help? Thanks!
A: 1998 < Volvos were ME7 computer systems and the remotes cannot be programed by the user. So you are going to need to pay the dealer. You can still buy the remote off ebay for ~75 dollars then pay 1 hour to have the remote programed.
