Can't say. When/if they change it they will tell me. Volvo are happy the way it is going, 19 cars have been bought through this scheme the past year. That is 7 more than the first year the scheme ran.

any evidence that there has been a genuine benefit, rather than a discount you'd have got just for asking anyway? My experience about 18 months ago was after negotiating reasonably hard I then asked for the VOC discount and was told they'd used all available discount already.

I used it when I bought my current XC70 and got the 4% & Free metallic paint, so that saved me over £1750 and on top of that I got another 5% from the dealer which gave me almost another £1475.
So over £3000 (9% and Free Paint) off a car isn't to bad. I also used it in 2006 and get a way better deal, I think the VOC was 7.5% (plus free paint) and I got 7% from the dealer, so 14.5% (plus free paint) which cames to over £4700 off a new car. I'd hope since the new model (V70 / XC70) has been out for a few months the discount Volvo would give VOC would of gone up from the 4% to something in the area of 6%.

sorry to continue to be a bit cynical, or rather skeptical. My experiecne was with a S80, about £31K full price, got close to £25K, then no chance for a further VOC discount. Quick look just now on the internet for XC70 - first link came up with a £4K saving - do you really think you'll get another 4% off? The Volvo 'discount' is a marketing device pure and simple - and ofcourse is not special at all to the VOC, they'll give it to any 'car club' or organistaion - cheap advertising for them!

Sorry to hijack the topic, but this is a very quick and simple question - does the VOC members' discount from VCUK apply to Volvo Selected Used Cars purchased from a Volvo main dealer as well? I ask because we're looking for a new set of wheels for the missus at the moment, and an S40 is top of the favourites list right now ...

OK, fair enough! It was worth asking.

But I can confirm the VOCD is from Volvo UK and doesn't effect the Dealers margin in anyway, so if its a NEW car you can have the VOCD and whatever you can haggle from the dealers.
