Ordered my XC40 Recharge R Design Pro from Warrington Volvo on 7th JULY 2021 with a delivery date 14 Sept 21. I didn’t hear anything until I contacted Warrington Volvo early September when they informed me my vehicle would be made on 5th Oct so expect delivery mid October. I called again early October and was informed that my vehicle would be delivered until mid to late November 21.
I did point out that I had seen them selling brand new XC40 recharge vehicles that week. The salesmen informed me that they had 21″ wheels and not 20″ as my order and had a sun roof fitted. They were also priced at £47,000 to £48,000. Either way they could change the wheel size and we could have a discussion about the sunroof. I’m keeping a log of new vehicles they are selling whilst customers sit waiting having paid a deposit months ago.
My concern is that when delivery time approaches they just fob me off with a date 4 to 6 weeks in the future and not a realistic date of when the car is going to be delivered. If they can sell cars in the current market for several thousand pounds more than I’m paying I think they would be happy for me to cancel.
I really don’t trust anything they say anymore and wish they would be honest with me because I’m hearing off delivery dates of March 2022.
I actually sold my own car in July thinking my car was coming in September. That was a big mistake!
This would be my first Volvo my last two cars were Audi’s, I will never buy from Volvo again.
