Re: Volvo £250 Excess Return Voucher

Yes. My previous insurer countered this by quoting £250 excess if you use their approved repairers, £500 excess if you don’t thus nullifying the Volvo voucher. Granted this means you wont save money but does mean you can have it done at a Volvo approved repair centre for the same price which uses V...

Re: C40 Recharge - new Volvo model

The other announcement was that Volvo are doing a Tesla and all sales will move on line with limited options and set prices. I am more concerned about that.
