Re: Delivery Date

Told yesterday that my First Edition has been put back to October from its original date of mid May. The dealer also said that Volvo had told them that they had run out of spares for the Rdesign but Volvo wouldnt say which spares. This is my first Volvo and not too impressed although I guess its th...

Re: Fixed production to delivery

My dealer said typically 7-10 days from out of factory door till in my hands (assuming UK). My experience was that this was (just!) slightly longer - but was messed up due to Easter weekend when everyone was on holiday and then in catch up mode. Don't know about production. Question will be how doe...

Re: Delivery Date

For people who have got their cars (or are getting them shortly) - how were you kept informed of progress? As posted in depth elsewhere, with example screen shots, your dealer should have some visibility of all sorts of dates for each order. However, the dates can’t always be relied upon 100% so de...
