Volvo On Call 2nd Owner
Good Afternoon Guys,
Have just purchased a 66 plate XC90 R-Design D5 for my other half. Bought it used with 9k on the clock from a non Volvo franchised dealer. Spoke to my local dealer on the phone about transferring the VOC over to me and they said it would be £108.00. Few questions, Has anyone done this and is the cost comparable? Is it worth spending the money? If I don't do it will the previous owner still have access? Third point is what I'm most worried about seems staggering to charge someone to stop a previous owner being able to access their car!! Thanks for your help - and hello to all!! |

Change of ownership has to be done by a Volvo dealer and had you bought the car from a Volvo dealer it would probably have been done for you. Your dealer is charging for his time and I don't think you can argue with that unless you have a very strong relationship with them. You will get the remainder of the warranty period foc.
I would add it's well worth having and I would say essential, even better if you have Sensus. Last edited by Bernard F; Oct 20th, 2017 at 17:27. |

That being said...i called a volvo dealer in a neighbouring town.....and they said 'just bring it in takes no time at all we just go on the website', i enquired as to the need to book and cost, 'no just pop in and its FOC'. Needless to say i'll be taking my car there for servicing etc! |
