Yes, @jOhn it’s written within an email-I am going to investigate further today. The “Bristol Port” thread is insightful, although rather alarming. I have looked at alternative vehicles, but cannot find anything that better suits my needs, that is Petrol and with a sensible AP for the same specification of the XC40.
@sunflower12 – Do you mind if I tweet an anonymised screenshot of your post to the Head of Press at Volvo. I am 99% certain it breaches the Equality Act 2010 as it is discrimination arising from disability. Volvo have now switched to the ‘agency’ model so it is Volvo who seem to be responsible. Emailed someone for confirmation that my thinking is correct. We shouldn’t be treated as scum by dealerships because there is a negotiated price for our vehicles – it’s the same for fleet vehicles and there is no downside for fleets.
Every single person who is a Motability customer is a disabled person or a appointee for a disabled person.
Agree the Bristol thread is alarming, I also advised someone in my patient group to look at the XC40 which they ordered at a delaership yesterday and was told delivery would be in June.
I ordered a couple of weeks ago as was told between 3 and 6 months but probably would arrive in 4. I just accepted it would be six months and if it comes quicker, that’s fine.
