Re: GAP and Alloy insurance

Have covered cars myself with ALA but my girlfriend used them, and they paid out very speedily no quibble after her write-off a couple of years ago.

Highly recommended.

Re: Trailer delivery costs of new car

To add to the complication, lease cos will have a panel of dealers across the country based on region. That said, Nationwide are Just a finance broker, a finance company will be funding and managing; so sometimes they nominate the dealer - or set terms, so it actually won’t matter to the broker.

Re: Delivery Date

I suppose the real question is... has anyone ordering in March recently been told their delivery is still on track?

Re: For sale prices how much ?

Porsche have done this in the past when they’ve had supply issues. I wouldn’t knock it; it keeps used values high.

Re: Rubber Swedish Flag

It's been suggested that Volvo might look at producing it as an accessory, so if you want one I'd recommend you mention it to your dealer - as I will be - in the hope it gets fed back to Volvo. Having said that, I'd be surprised if some enterprising Chinese ebay seller doesn't knock a few up at som...

On the road

Saw my first non-press, non-demo vehicle on the road last night.

Was dark and at a petrol station, but the car has a great light signature. While the osmium looked nice, it backed up my decision to switch for a bit more contrast. Now to continue the wait (however long that may be!)

UK import

If anyone has ordered a Fusion Red T5, I saw it on a transporter heading west last night on the A14...

...Which leads me to ask, where do these land in the UK? Thought it was Immingham, but the full transporter heading in the other direction leads me to think otherwise.

Re: Is there a chance I won’t get my car?

I ordered mine on 14th March - the dealer I got it from sent out a message on Carwow on the 10th talking about extended order books til that day, and told me that he'd taken 14 orders in the time between. He had til Fri 16th to log them with Volvo. I've got a screenshot of the order in Volvo's syste...
