If you haven’t looked at Volvo lately,

we should introduce you to the new 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD.  With its good looks, surprising performance, and excellent value, should Audi and BMW be worried? Of course!  The new 2013 S60 also comes with new automatic wipers and headlight washers for extra convenience in cold weather climates.  Stylish, beautiful and unique inside as well as out.  When you need it, the four-door T5 has great power and taking the corners with AWD is excellent!  Bad weather Experts.  The T5 is a great value with enough performance to satisfy.   Starting at $33,750, the S60 T5 AWD is available at Jenkins Imports.

Earlier this month,

Volvo-XC60654x297

AutoTrader quoted that Volvo’s 2013 XC60 crossover is a stylish and attractive alternative to other big players in this sector, such as the Audi Q3 and BMW X3.  They named the 2013 Volvo XC60 R-Design AWD as one of it’s top 5  picks for February new car deals.  It comes with lots of specials extra’s too, such as heated front seats, rear parking sensors and tinted glass at the back.  Just look at it….beautiful!  With the winter features, including AWD, this car is starting at just $44,850.

Even Jaguar is in on the fun,

2013-Jaguar-XJ-AWD-front-view2013-Jaguar-XF-AWD-rear-view

because both the 2013 Jaguar XF and XJ models now offer AWD!  Ask about the optional start/stop technology and emissions/fuel economy benefits.  Jaguar claims to have focused a great deal of energy “to ensure that steering integrity and suspension refinement are unaffected” and that the cars “remain every bit as agile and communicative as their rear-wheel-drive counterparts.” Read more   Hmmm….maybe test drive to see for yourself?   The 2013 XJ AWD starts at $77,595 and the 2013 XF AWD at $53,895.

Gas Prices Make Volvo even more Attractive

August 7, 2012 Leave a comment

There’s no getting around the fact that gas prices are high.  To find the cheapest gas in your area, use this handy ‘gas prices’ finder tool from Mapquest.  There is also a “AAA Daily Fuel Guage Report” which is updated daily, surveying around 120,000 self-serve stations in the United States.  According to information obtained from AAA, the Midwest has seen the steepest increase in gas prices in the country, remaining at somewhere around 30 to 40 cents per gallon of regular unleaded.

Unless you use public transit or your bicycle to get from one place to another, vehicle gas prices are going to be important to you.  When shopping around for a new vehicle with competitive fuel economy, Volvo has several attractive options such as the Volvo S60 FWD, the Volvo C30 FWD, and the Volvo XC60 FWD.  Jenkins Imports in Milwaukee has a large selection of these vehicles, and many more.

Not only does Volvo provide competitive fuel economy in their vehicles, but they are some of the safest vehicles in the country.  Volvo also offers a ‘BEST IN CLASS’ complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance coverage for the first 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first.  This offer is found in their Volvo Safe + Secure Coverage Plan available on all new 2012 model year Volvo vehicles sold in the U.S.

Don’t miss out on the SUMMER SALES EVENT going on right now at Jenkins Imports.  Where else can you find a large variety of the safest cars, best in class warranty coverage and a sales event which pays for your first 4 months of payments?  Make the short trip to I-43 at Capitol Drive.  Start your Journey at Jenkins, you won’t regret it!

Compared to last year, sales of new vehicles are stronger this summer.  However, finding a good promotion to save some money may have you scrambling.  Don’t fret;  Jenkins Imports has vehicles fully stocked and a ‘Summer Sales Event’ that will make you smile.

The Summer Sales Event means you can buy a lease ANY 2012 Volvo, take it home… then enjoy taking the summer off because you’ll pay nothing for 2 months!

Summer Sales Event

  • Buy or lease ANY 2012 Volvo and Volvo will make the first 2 payments for you

Not only that, but Volvo’s 5 Years of complimentary scheduled maintenance and wear & tear coverage still applies.   When purchasing a Volvo, the Safe + Secure Coverage Plan provides an additional year of New Car Limited Warranty coverage for a total of five years or 50,000 miles on model year 2013, 2012 or 2011 vehicles, whichever occurs first. Additional warranties cover corrosion, seat belts, the supplemental restraint system, emission systems, genuine Volvo replacement parts and genuine Volvo accessories.

Volvo’s Safe & Secure Coverage Plan

  • 5 year warranty
  • 5 year wear & tear
  • 5 year scheduled maintenance
  • 5 year wear & tear

Lease deals are also back in full swing.  You can take advantage of the ‘Summer Sales Event’ AND lease a Volvo S60  for as little as $299 per month for up to 36 months, or a Volvo XC60 for $399 up to 36 months.  (There is a small down payment required to lease, so keep that in mind.)  So, besides the low monthly cost to lease, there are some other benefits worth noting.  

Lease your new car

  • Out of pocket costs usually lower than a purchase
  • Still covered by manufacturers warranty
  • You can drive a higher-priced, better-equipped vehicle than you might otherwise be able to afford to buy
  • You’re always driving a late-model vehicle that’s covered by the manufacturer’s warranty

You obviously get the manufacturers warranty when buying your new car, and the monthly payments will be higher.  However, there are some good points to consider as well.

Buy your new car

  • You own it once it’s paid off
  • You can customize & sell at any time
  • Insurance limits are typically lower

What Women Want found at Jenkins

In the  book, “Understanding the Increasing Affluence of Women,” Judith E. Nichols, Ph.D., CFRE says that in the majority of U.S. households, women bring in 1/2 or  more of the income and control about 80 percent of household spending, including new car purchases.  According to Michael Albano of GM’s global design group, “women’s influence in the automotive market has hit an all-time high, noting 85 percent of all vehicle sales decisions are influenced by women with women buying 45 percent of all vehicles.”   (This information is based on car registration numbers only and does not reflect households where vehicles are shared.)

So what DO women want?  Well, all the research shows that they are looking for EVEN MORE than the same things men want. For example, both want performance, package and design. However, the decision a women makes in a car purchase will have more to do with added bonuses such as more cargo space, safety features and ease of use for items such as car seats.  They want great interior and exterior designs;  paying special attention to trim, fabrics, compartments and color details.  However, they won’t compromise these things for safety and efficiency.

Watch this short YouTube video about “Marketing to Women” by Marti Barletta.  Marti explains that men and women may be 95% identical, but that 5% makes a big difference.  She also states in her book that women seek more advice from an auto authority (57 percent) before buying a new car; they spend more time in the purchasing process than men (17 weeks versus 15) and women shop at an average of three dealerships for best price and treatment.

Women are influential, even in the automotive world.  According to autoguide.com Volvo comes in #1 with the highest percentage of women buyers. So how can Jenkins Imports give women what they want?  First and foremost, Jenkins Imports has VOLVO;  a nicely designed, dependable and Safety focused brand which includes Safe & Secure.   Jenkins is conscious of the fact that women and men are looking for slightly different things.   Jenkins also has the most honest and well-meaning sales people who are going to provide the best treatment and price possible.  They earn the trust of woman buyers, guide them through the purchasing process and make them feel like family for years to come.

Volvo is the fastest growing luxury import in the country, so if you currently own or lease an Acura, Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes, Honda, Nissan, Saab, Toyota, or Volkswagen take advantage of a great offer running through May 31st.
