Re: Polestar

Took delivery of my new T5 FE on Friday with P* already installed; registered; badge applied.
It may have been because the dealer had my car for a couple of days post install.
Nothing at all for me to do; just pay for it :D
Happy Days

Re: Polestar

Exactly that; And my dealer (the Product Specialist person, not the sales person) did check all his "dealer only" Volvo product info systems to confirm; in-fact he did it whist talking to me on the phone. So there was no way he could have known, Until he made direct contact with Volvo(UK) ...

Re: XC40 First Edition

Mine's due next week.......Just got to get a dent repaired early next week, so they don'y hammer my agreed trade in, also just wondering if they'll try and knock some from the valuation they gave me in March due to extra age and milage?
