I’ve now had 2 salespeople from different Volvo dealers start off being very happy and keen to do a deal, only to then suddenly vanish. Seems a bizarre concept to me having lived in the US where car dealers climb over themselves to get a sale.

I can only assume that Volvo dealers must be completely overwhelmed with the sheer number of potential buyers at the moment, lined up down the road, with money burning a hole in their pockets post lock-down – i.e., a sellers’ market. They can pick and choose who to sell to and who to ignore. Nice position to be in as a seller.

It may now be time to leave Volvo behind with is masses of buyers and look at another SUV manufacturer.
Yes Volvos sales have been up up up in the last 5 years the slope is continuous even through the virus ...

The XC 40 is at the top of the premium C SUV group and selling more than the ford focus for example at present .
