Mine was the 5th order at my dealers, was given a delivery date of the 10th October,
may be earlier, also have a guaranteed part ex price.

Just order my T8 Inscription with 19" wheels.

I have to wait until mid September or October for the car.

Next week the dealership will give me a more precise date, since the factory supposedly closes in August.

I kept the 4C on comfort most of the time and it's way above my current car over bumps. For the T5 engine I do not have Polestar but for me it was far more responsive than my D5 and you will not be disappointed. Talking afterwards with the dealer principle he used the car at length over last weekend and got 27 mpg. A bit disappointed compared with my D5 but I can live with it. I can remember when I was used to 11 mpg in the old days.
The detail. Without asking they offered £2K more than I was expecting for PX and held until delivery.
I ordered Inscription Pro T5, Intellisafe Pro, Xenium, keyless etc, Metalic Paint, Dark rear windows,Tempa spare wheel and was assured it does not come with low profile tires. Delivery expected end of September and no need to service my car which is due shortly.

Are you sure it didn't have air suspension, if it had 4c suspension, then surely it has air,
I've ordered the Inscription with 4c suspension which includes air.

Ask how long it takes to apply? I have Gtechniq on my Volvo and Kensa on my Golf. Both take over 24 hrs to prepare and cure. The Gtechniq is now over 3 years old and still great. The Kensa is brilliant but then it should be at £600. But it's so hard.

Usually the superguard is applied straight into a washed car. The car needs to polished and prepared first. That takes time. I'd always rather a specialist detailer did my cars. My guy is good and a fanatic.

For having your cars detailed (something I do to all our cars) I would recommend to get either a nano detail done (once a year) or the ceramic detail (which lasts about 24-36 months). All depends on yearly mileage, car wash etc. The ceramic will be more cost effective if not doing a lot of miles.

That's what the dealer said. It was my first question before getting into the car.

I was told they require three days notice before collection. That's all I know.

I guess he should know, but I'm not convinced, the Inscription Pro comes with air suspension as standard, unless it was just the Inscription which could have the standard suspension, but I don't think it would be adjustable.
But I might be wrong.
I've just noticed that you have ordered the Inscription pro so you will get the air suspension.

The test car Was an Inscription plus a lot of extra. I did mention this in my post it was not a Pro. It had 4C without air suspension but Air S is included in my order printout OK.

Yes but according to the Volvo site 4c suspension includes air suspension, at least that's what I have ordered, I was then able to keep to19" wheels.
I just hope I'm right, otherwise I've cocked up.
