Often the 10 miles turns into hundreds or even thousands when you enquire.
Yeah, the guys in the Belfast dealership had been driving them for a couple of weeks prior to launch - This give them a chance to experience how they drive, how the infotainment system works etc and the ability to answer customer questions in detail.Alistair72 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 5:54 pm Often the 10 miles turns into hundreds or even thousands when you enquire.
Don't forget, a lot of dealers will be starting to place their demo's up for sale soon. My understanding being they have to keep them as a demo for 3 months. Maybe this dealer when you enquire will say something like available from x with a possible mileage of y, not sure and just my humble opinion of course, however dealers generally put their demo's up for sale a good month or so before you can actually have one.

The order books have been reopened for a limited number of First Editions.
I put an order in for one on the Saturday after the launch. It has been sat on the computer awaiting approval from Volvo since then.
Today the dealer phoned to say they have the go ahead from Volvo, and to collect my £1000 deposit.
I should hear on Monday, when I go in to test drive their T5 demonstrator, when delivery will be, probably June or July, or maybe even later.
According to the dealer it will be an MY19, he thinks the headlight washers will be available, but not the 20" wheels, which is fine as I wanted 19" wheel anyway.
The price was good, used the IAM Volvo discount (Volvo Affinity Scheme?) which was as good as the Drive the Deal discounts, much better than CarWow discount, but not quite as good as the UK Car Discount discount.

I wonder if this will also include the £1.5k dealer contribution if on PCP and 3 years free servicing??Bob wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 7:02 pm The order books have been reopened for a limited number of First Editions.
