Default Xc60 free towbar

I've just been reading December 2009 Caravan Club Magazine and on page 9 there is an offer of a free towbar and fitting to a total of £600 + VAT.

Members must produce their card at time of order. Valid until 31st December 2009.

Apparently it's also on the caravan club website.
Hope this helps someone who's about to order an XC60.

Can you PM me the details please? I am about to have a towbar fitted and this would be a super saving

Does it apply to fitting after delivery, or only for new orders?

I have looked on the CC club website but cannot find this offer

Apparently it's only for new orders and membership card must be shown at time of order.
Perhaps you could cancel your order then reorder your car. You must be a Caravan club member.
Why not give the CC a ring.

Default XC60 Free Towbar

The Caravan club have a page for members only for which you need to sign in i.e. be a member to view these pages.
They have an agreement with Volvo for discounts on a large range of their cars. 5% off the pre tax price of a XC90, and 3% off the XC 60. The current offer is for free metalic paint valued at £600.The tow bar offer you speak of may now replace the paint offer. I had difficulty convincing my dealer, or he was acting daft about these deals. I did however convince him and took the 3% off, and the free metalic paint. They also added £2000 to the value of my part exchange Sorento XT Auto. Volvo are also adding £1000 to any finance deals taken on the new cars. I think this is up to the end of December.
I do not think that they will allow more than one of these offers on any one deal.

I am getting mine fitted next week so I will be able to tell you what they provide

As far as I am aware there should be a cover for the hole that is cut to allow the towbat pintle to be inserted - will be looking for that!

Which electrics did they give you - seems that 13 pin is what they want to provide, though I don't see that as an issue - where did they place the electrics connector?

13 pin ,the electric socket is tucked up under rear bumper you have to pull it down and then it clicks into place to plug in it looks neat. regards Tony

I have just registered here, having just got my shiney new XC60 D5 AWD Geartronic R-Design SE Premium (that must be the longest model title ever!).
I am looking for a Towbar for the new girl, and have seen this 'Free Offer'. All is not as it seems, as it states that not valid with any other offer. I got over £5000 discount on my car, so guess that the towbar may have been a bridge too far for the dealer...

when i checked it was only at participating dealers, 4 of them, and not useable with any other offer including 3 years servicing.

I got 8k off the car and towbar fitted inclusive.
