New car...possibly delayed.
Dropped my car off (p/x) with the dealer yesterday as tomorrow we're off to Canada & USA for 6 weeks. (Many thanks to Simondrake for all his input)
Dealer informed me that there may be a delay on the new car. Seems stock is very slow getting through to UK. He suspects that EU is preferable market due to weakness of Sterling. Has anyone else been told similar. Will be mightily annoyed if we return from hols with no car ready.

Was in contact with my dealer this afternoon to check that my dates have not moved........and was pleased that after he checked his systems that the date has in fact moved forward! Order Created Date - 04/05/18 First Indicated Delivery Date - 25/09/18 (Now revised to 07/09/18) These dates are all from printed Volvo Dealer Order data sheets so are genuine system generated records........until they are “regenerated” with different values. So two scenarios: 1. I have nicked your order..........!, or........ 2. Your dealer being aware that you are away for many weeks has taken advantage of that fact & swapped your order with another with a delivery date nearer your return to satisfy their own sales requirements.

The main reason I bought a private plate was to get away from the tyranny of new plate syndrome.

I would start on the DVLA website and put in your preferred letters to see what pops up.
Next step is the DVLA auction there should be a link on the original page. If you look on the dealer websites you will be charged VAT and the DVLA transfer fee in addition to the cost if the plate.

The DVLA auction site has the most interesting plates, because the DVLA skim off all the tasty ones, to make the most money from them. My plate, which I bought in 1996, isn’t anything interesting, like my initials, or my name, or birthday, just one that doesn’t have any particular year designator.

New plate ‘syndrome’ isn’t about things looking new and shiny or showing off — it’s the simple fact that buying an 08 car in August is going to lose you money when you come to sell (or hand back, if you do leases). |
