General: - Hello..and ummm..I just ordered an S60

tangey · Nov 6th, 2006, 15:31

Hi there,

Been reading this forum for the last couple weeks, and in part helped me decide that a Volvo is for me.

So I ordered one at the weekend, an S60 SE Lux, in the new lunar gold colour. Added in the Active b-xenon lights. Find it hard to beleive that on a 29K car they want 20 quid for a sunglasses holder but there ya go !

Dealer couldn't find an S60 SE lux at any UK dealer, so one had to be ordered. ETA is 2nd week of december, do the S60's get made in Sweden ?

Hope to be a regular around here...just joined the club too.

welcome along, hope you enjoy the new car

You planning on keeping the car for a while? depreciation is gonna be heavy on a new 'un! Did you get oodles of discount?

Hi Tangey

Wow - you must be excited about the imminent arrival of your new set of wheels. Good luck and welcome to the forum & VOC club

I forgot to mention that I'm entitled to a 30% discount on S60's, my dad used to work for Ford.

Kinda makes an unattainable card attainable.....and no...I can't get the discount on Aston Martins !

Shoulda said that I'm getting the D5, I hear that ones depreciates the least, I generally keep cars for 3 years.

Mine states that it was assembled in Belgium on a plate under the bonnet !

They're all made in Belgium.

Sounds like you got a blinding deal then! And yeah, the D5s will always do the best for value IMO - If you're keeping it a while you wont even notice, anyway good luck with the car - remember to post up some pics on its arrival!
