Porsche have done this in the past when they’ve had supply issues. I wouldn’t knock it; it keeps used values high.
Not through Porsche dealers anymore - they will be stripped of franchise if seen selling a desirable car for above list as an ex demo....
So should Volvo. Looks like you are taking advantage of customers which sends a very bad signal in my book...

They still do it. Was looking at the Macan until i realised it was cheaper to order new and wait.

I did order a Macan and all the ones I found were almost exactly list - by the time you had added extras and RFL etc that were not in the quoted new price - as demos.
In the end cancelled order for Macan GTS and bought an Audi SQ5 instead - better tech inside, better back seat and boot, cheaper and more discrete...
So even with that mileage, it represents a good saving of around £5-6k on the current price list with all the options that came with the FE models, and a £7k saving over the (greedy) one on eBay.
It will be interesting to see if any more become available for sale over the next month or two from speculators, but then again, who would have known that a new small SUV from Volvo would be such a hit and therefore such speculators may be thin on the ground ?!?!?!?
There are currently 9 second hand FEs for sale online with AutoTrader UK. Presumably all dealer demonstrators. Some 67 some 18 plate. 8 are D4s. Mileage range from 1,000 up to 10,000+. Prices are £40,000 up to £42,995. Red, white or blue!
Two XC40s - so far! Inscription Pro T5 AWD Auto - Glacier Silver/Blond/21”, fully loaded, from Jan thro Sep 2021. Polestarred. Also one of the first FEs - a D4 AWD Auto - Bursting Blue/Charcoal/20" from Mar thro Aug 2018. Also Polestarred.
