Re: Alarming Incident

Useful to know.

Re: Paying off Volvo finance early?

As the finance is provided by a separate company/lender that is all they are interested in and doubt they notify Volvo of early settlement. Also doubt they will know the details of your deal anyway, only what you want to borrow. Happens with many manufacturers. I suppose they work on the principle t...

Gripross - Certainly a case of over promising and under delivering. And continuing to be so.
