Really pleased for you, was it a factory order (Packs/options etc.) or from stock?

Enjoy it!

Thanks! This was a factory order I think, I added a rear view camera, didnt order any ‘packs’. Perhaps the order turn around was quick because it was a fairly standard spec and Volvo retrofitted the camera easily onto a stock car, not sure, will ask the dealer and post back here if the dealer confirms.

Spoke to dealer this morning, apparently my XC60 Momentum order was a ‘factory order’ and not taken from existing stock and retrofitted with a rear camera. Dealer did mention there are currently long delays on the XC60 R Design due to component ‘issues’.

Apparently my car has now arrived in a UK port and is being loaded onto a transporter, the pickup is still scheduled for next Tuesday but we shall see.

Angry

Lease company response was uninspiring.
"I’ve just called the dealer, we are still showing the same dealer due date as previously advised. No movement there I’m afraid.

I’ve found it’s easier not to think too much into it, there seems to be no rhyme or reason behind the outputs of the factories at times! .... Obviously initially we/the dealers were not expecting the long lead time that we have been left with."
So, basically, we can't explain it, and we don't really want to try.
So disillusioned with the "new car" process.

The worst thing is once it arrives, I'll forget all about the delay and forgive Volvo/Dealer/Lease company for the broken promises.

I ordered my XC60 yesterday (my first foray into Volvos!) and was told it’d be possibly July but more likely August, due to the annual factory shutdown in Gothenburg. We agreed it’d be best to call it early September to take advantage of a 68 plate rather than having the car devalued 2 weeks later.

Will keep you all posted with regards to any time changes...

Momentum Pro as the base, with all sorts added on. Intellisafe Pro, BLIS, HUD, smartphone connectivity and a couple of other bits I can’t remember.
