Check with Auto Europe or Kimwel for both the rental and the purchase option.

AutoEurope will match any rate, I've heard. We have had excellent rentals from them.

The Volvo factory delivery program is a good deal especially if you haven't made travel arrangements, since one of their ongoing promos is for two free air tickets on SAS to Göteborg and a night's accommodation prior to taking delivery.

If you need a new car anyway, it's a great deal. One note, however, is that it takes up to 6-8 weeks for the car to be shipped home (assuming N. America?) during which time you keep paying the loan/lease payments, so factor that "loss of use" time into your calculations.
