XC60 Towbar

wimorrison · Oct 29th, 2009, 19:31

I have been thinking about having a towbar fitted to my XC60 and checked theaccessories list on the Volvo website to see that a price of GBP662.40 for the removable towbar, fitted with 13 pin electrics. Two local dealers have quoted significantly over this price, one at GBP750 and the other at GBP690 - and neither recognise the VOC 15% discount as described on the website - one says he may give 10%, the other nothing.

I have several questions for the assembled knowledge

a) has anyone had a towbar fitted by Volvo, if so how much did you pay?

b) has anyone had an aftermarket installed, if so what did you pay?

c) Volvo say that the warranty is invalidated if you have an aftermarket fitted - is this true?

d) when buying accessories what has been the reaction to asking for VoC discount?

Many thanks for all the answers on other subjects, I hope that this question will prove that I am not barking mad and these dealers are turning into stealers
