Order Cancelled
So I placed my XC40 order in October. I have had a few updates pushing it back a couple of weeks. Its due in three weeks. Today I got the call- its cancelled!
Second-hand a year old, if I could find the same spec, would cost £5000 more. Volvo are offering a token discount off the new model. The new model has inferior specs to mine and will cost a few thousand more, which I don't have.
Where do I stand? I contracted with Volvo. They took my deposit and have at the last minute failed to honour our contract. They are still in business and still making cars so this is a business decision.
If I want to but the 2022/2023 model I will have to pay considerably more and there is no guarantee that I won't go to the back of the queue.
Morally they should provide a similar spec car for the same price, morally for a bit less, as it won't be what they contracted to supply. Is there a legal requirement though? I feel as if there should be, in contract law.
