Do you mind saying which local dealer you are using?

I missed the local dealers opening times, but have dropped them an email to see if they are offering the same deal. Will update when I find out.

I would phone and speak in person, more likely to succeed.

For anyone in the Lancashire area.

Rybrook Volvo, Preston. 01772 806666
£350. This is the cheapest I have seen it for a few years.
Speak to Chris Rudd

My V90 is booked in this afternoon.

I have just had a call from Rybrook saying they cannot do the optimization at £350!
They say that the price is a mistake.

I have cancelled.

Comments anyone?

That’s who I was waiting a call back from - it hasn’t happened!

What did they say their price was when they couldn’t do the £350?

86 miles from Preston to Carlisle.

Just saying

256 from home to Carlisle gives more pause for thought

I was a little peed off when they phoned up to tell me they couldnt do it for £350. They said it would have to be at full price so I didnt even bother asking.
If Carlisle are still doing that offer I will be motoring up the M6 as soon as I can spare the time.

I have had the same experience as you but with more disappointment added for good messure.

My own dealership Stoneacre of Chesterfield have stood firm. It's £745. Take it or leave it.

Next nearest dealer, Claytons of Mansfield Woodhouse via email agreed to £440 in the a.m and I was booked in for the following day but by p.m today they reneged on that stating Volvo would now not discount it for them so it was full price.

I have cancelled.

It would appear that my dealers local to me would prefer no money rather than some money.

I'll not be taking a journey to Carlisle. 3hrs each way plus fuel.

Waiting on a reply from Volvo Derby. Not holding my breath.
