It’s great to see your deliveries coming through. ENJOY!

Found out today that my supposed pick up for this Sat is very unlikely to happen now as they have no idea where my car is! Probably fallen off the slow boat from China that it's f**ing sailing on… Very disappointed with Volvo – not my dealer as he is also P***ed off, with their complete inability to manage car shipment logistics.

Now it will have to sit in the dealer compound for 2 weeks getting dented and scratched before I can pick it up following my holiday return. There may be a good deal to be had on this car if I end up having to reject it due to damage incurred over the next two weeks with it sitting in their yard. I used to work in the trade and know that a brand new car left too long in a dealer compound will inevitably end up with damage.

Next time I’m afraid it’s back to BMW where customer expectations actually mean something…

I was given good feed back from my dealer and they seemed to always be able to track my car for me and update me where it was on its journey to the dealer .

Good luck with it and may be they could valet it on arrival and put it in the show room and lock it up for you to keep it safe.

I got my XC90 on the day the dealer promised, cherished plate and all. From my experience Volvo do not give false dates but generally improve on the initial confirmed delivery. I suspect your dealer is trying to make extra profit by releasing your car to enhance his sales figures within a particular month/sales period.

Jeffo, It looks fantastic!! Cant wait for mine now. How does the TV work? is this standard with the RSE package? if not how much extra is it to have this functionality?

Enjoy!!!

The car has now actually arrived and is being PDI’d…!

The dealer is “pulling a rabbit out of the hat” in getting it all ready for collection tomorrow morning.

Top marks to my dealer

Zero marks to Volvo logistics

That looks great,love the interior. Are you happy with the Oyster Grey? as I remember you tried to swap to black but was too late to do so. Ours is the same as your and we love the colour. Enjoy it ,it looks fantastic.

Looking very nice, hope you enjoy it.

Did the side steps come complete with the pads or were they extra ?
