Sorry, newb poster and newb to Volvo.

A bit of a background. We are a couple in our mid 30s with two kids and are looking for a 7 pass SUV. We have had a 06 3 series, 06 7 series (upgraded to that) and a 300C. Love the big cars but it doesn't cut the boat. The other car we have had since we've been married is a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid. We love it.

So our 7 pass SUV search has lead us to the T8 XC90. We are going to go look as some this weekend and then next weekend we are going to be in the LA region to, hopefully, be able to get a more competitive price.

Another thing is, we are considering Euro Delivery. We are very familiar with the BMW ED program and it looks like Volvo's is similar, with one huge plus, they provide two premium E tickets for free to pick up the car.

We are looking at the following:
2017 T8 XC90 Inscription Trim
Metallic Paint
Vision Package
Conv Package
4 Corner Air Suspension
MSRP: $76090 with Dest Fee
ED Price (according to website - assume same 995 dest fee): $74305

Questions:
1) Is ED price negotiable?
2) How much off of US price do you think a dealer will come for:
2a) a car on their lot?
2b) a car they have to order?
3) Is best time of month to purchase a Volvo end of month?
4) When do the 2017s hit end of production and the 18s start?
5) Is there any difference in the T6 vs T8 in the same trim level other than engine? (again, sorry for newb question)
5) Anything else I should know?

We are super excited to go drive a new XC90 tomorrow. I don't think our Vegas dealer has any T8s but we are going to get a feel for the different trim levels in the T6s.

Thanks and have a great weekend!
