Cars chosen for this testing should not then be supplied to customers as if nothing has happened.

Thank you all for being so supportive, I half expected to be told to stop being so dramatic and just be grateful I'm getting a new car!
We've put the thought into the dealers head by asking about their cancellation policy, and hubby has contacted the other dealer about the alternative car (which the more I think about it may be the better option). I still remain bloody angry about the whole situation, especially when they just keep telling me it's a manufacturers issue not them as a dealer (er hello, you ARE the manufacturers) But you're right that this shouldn't be allowed to happen to a customers vehicle, and especially not without some recompense. Still angry and still wish I didn't have to get a 7 seater so I could ditch Volvo completely. But then I'd be cutting my nose off to spite my face, so probably best I can't. First world problems eh! |

Ok, so decision made. Hubby is speaking to the other dealer today about the 6 month old fully loaded inscription they have, so hopefully by the end of today I may be the soon to be proud owner of a "slightly older than I wanted but full of toys" xc90 rather than a "still waiting (not so patiently now) for a kidnapped vehicle that's having god alone knows what done to it" xc90. Fingers crossed.

Anyone with an imminent delivery had an update from their dealer yet? Mine's due to arrive with the dealer Monday, and I have heard of people getting reg numbers and things pre-arrival. I haven't chased mine for a week or two!

I had to actively chase mine, but they've been happy to update me when I asked.
I got my reg number mid-August (apparently that's when they get the allocation from the DVLA) - only minor niggle was that I couldn't choose from a list, so I just got allocated one (not really a big deal). Car should be with the dealer now, they're PDIing it and it's ready for pick up on Monday. This ties in with what they've said to me before - delivery to dealer on ~6th Sept. and collection around a week later, max. You'll need the reg number pre-arrival as you'll have to sort out insurance. They should be able to allocate that to you now - the dealer will have a pool, they just need to pull one of the list and mark it as for your car - once it arrives they can register it with the DVLA. |

Well I'm sorted! My ordered car is still somewhere in Sweden being tested by who knows what doing who knows what so it's been cancelled. Instead I'm picking up this little lobster on Monday. Cons - it's not brand brand new. Pros - it's more car than I was getting for less money, and I can tell the rubbish dealers to do one! Happy Friday! http://lifeonshow.vo.loscdn.net/1536...U17JXT-e01.jpg
