Is there a massive difference between the two cars price wise?
In answer to your questions:
1. A video tour should be offered and can be tailored to highlight any area you want to inspect in more detail.
2. For my Selekt car I paid a refundable £500 deposit to secure the car.
3. The valuation for my Insignia was fair and was not questioned once I arrived at the dealer. A quick walkround was done but nothing more. I think a lot of dealers take a bit of risk on a px so the price offered will reflect that.
4a. If the car is within 6 months of its next service interval make sure the dealer completes this and stamps the book.
4b. Make sure you ask for the Volvo Excess Return voucher. Gives you £250 towards your insurance excess if you prang it. I didn't ask and the dealer didn't offer it. I'm now in an email tennis match in an effort to secure what should've been provided at point of sale.
If I could change anything it would be possibly holding out for a pro/plus version of the model I bought. I am now considering spending a bit of cash to add a few things the original owner didn't spec. Might be worth looking again at the local car with more toys
