Have arranged to collect the car on Tuesday however... the business manager has emailed over the finance documents (4 year PCP deal) and lo and behold they've removed the dealer contribution which was quoted on their website in February when I placed my order! Given this was on offer when my order was placed I imagine they are obliged to honor it?
Same happened with me back in March Neil. In my case it was a change from the finance contribution offered in Dec 17 to the lower contribution offered in Q1 18. The dealer had to re-jig the paperwork and increase the dealer contribution to cover the difference in finance contribution. All very messy on the day.

Cheers Pjm, I hope they can sort it out today, can't deal with another delay. Having said that, there's no way I'm signing the current deal.

You shouldn’t need to. It seems the Santander lot (Volvo Finance) can’t (or won’t) xfer an older agreed contribution onto a later contract. That’s their problem, so VCUK and the dealer need to sort it. In my case it was by increasing the dealer contribution. The result included a higher GMFV but lower monthly payments. Just be firm with them!

Thanks everyone for your help and advice. The dealer has conceded and has amended the contract to honor the original deal.

Confirmed. Brand new article on this in today’s Times. No mention of any Volvo problem.

Hate these advertising emails from Volvo. I see Volvo cars on my screen and get excited it might be news on my car but instead they're trying to sell me a s60 lol
