I’ve taken notice to the Volvo’s subscription plan they introduced about a year ago. It’s called Volvo Care. In short, you pay a monthly subscription price for 2 years. The example I seen was $600 for roughly a $36K car. If you’d like, After 12 months, you can trade the car in and select a new one, your subscription would restart at 2 years. They allow you 15k miles per year. I do not know of the overage fees but I would assume it works like a lease.
Their pricing seems right inline with what you would finance a car for but here is the interesting point of it. All taxes, maintenance and repairs are in that subscription fee and here is the big one for some, insurance is also included. Essentially, other than the subscription price, the only other thing you pay for is gas.
In an example from a dealer on YouTube, he mentioned the insurance as a huge benefit as you could be 23 years old living in NY and that subscription price is the same. You don’t get slammed by insurance for age or location.
I just found it interesting and would be curious if anyone here would consider doing that with a Ram or any other vehicle for discussion purposes. Is this just a new trend or is this the future of car “buying” similar to how many people pay / finance their cell phones today.
