Freebies with your XC90 order

clarkgable · Jun 9th, 2017, 17:14

I have noticed a few people mention they have unexpectedly had options or accessories added to their build when they didn't order it, is this standard across the board for XC90 orders? I got the 3-pin plug socket included for free, and I read a few people mention they got the CD player for free as well, ironically they both come in as £100 on the order list.

So is this common, or some of us have been lucky?

It's not common but seems to happen occasionally.

I mistakenly got the 4-zone rear climate system and cooled glovebox for free on my first XC90 last July but unfortunately I had to reject the car because of another problem. Needless to say, the replacement car was built correctly. Sob.

I received absolutely zero, not even a full tank of fuel as they took off the fuel used to travel from one dealer to the one I bought from, which was only about 30 miles.

I got a full tank of fuel put in by the salesman. That was it. No chocolates, no flowers for the wife, etc etc

I was hoping mine would come with a few freebies.
Nada ,unless you including the gremlins.

Bunch of flowers for the wife, but also got the full winter pack 2018 for the price of the heated steering wheel 2017, due to delays...

Perhaps it is a reflection on how good a deal you negotiated for the car itself! Strip the dealer back to the lowest profit margin they'd accept and they might be less willing for freebies?

I got;
- Full tank of fuel (I did have to travel ~200 miles to collect the car)
- Two XC90 remote controlled cars
- Free three pin charge cable as I had ordered the Type2 one thinking it was in addition to the three pin. The dealer ordered it for me for no cost

Now I'm thinking I didn't get as good a deal on the car as I thought...

If it helps, when we ordered the car, I was presented with a beautiful big gourmet food hamper, with products from France, Italy, Sweden, Spain etc... And a full tank of fuel

Upon pickup, we received yet another large gourmet food hamper, a Volvo Golf Umbrella and plastic mats for the boot.

Moreover, in the mail just received a wonderful welcome pack, complete with a diary, a Volvo Pen, 2 Volvo keyrings and a book detailing the history of Volvo and it's future.

Can't complain about the service. Even the salesman at the time was from Sweden, and talked quite a bit about Swedish culture and why Volvo and Swedes are different to say the Germans.

Lovely.
