Dealer 'C', I just came off the phone from, says dealer 'A' is right. The 2.4 is no longer available.
He confirmed a (D3), 2.0D at 163BHP with 154 CO2 figures in the same (new) VED banding as the 2.4D will be in the Drive version. No Dealers have the vehicle specs as it seems they have yet to be produced, (along with the car). No MPG figures and no test drives either. By the time there is a car on the forecourt to test drive and 4-5 months order time, it could be nearly Xmas.
I think I will look at 2nd hand ex demos again. They made so many promises of the best deal with a newby. At the moment, my order is still in for June delivery, but it is not the 2.4 and though I trust Volvo cars to get it right 99% of the time,I usually look for (customer) tried and tested models.

Did you leave a deposit on the 2.4 model because I am wondering how one stands with a dealer under such circumstances with the model change being significant?
Maybe need to read my small print too!
