Dealership was fine nice coffee etc but small. The handover area was open to the public next to desks though and I like others just assumed a car there was another demo car. Turns out it was awaiting collection and I for one would not have been happy if it was mine. I noticed slight scratches on it and certainly no feeling of a special handover of a 45k car.
Yeah, I think the dealers are probably behind the curve relative to the brilliant products they now have on their hands. The lack of six or eight cylinder engines is the only thing that I can see as a Volvo drawback and that has to be weighed against some fantastic strengths.

I think you've got an incredible car for the money (and a lovely one even ignoring the bargain price). Looking forward to lots of pics and write ups when you get it.
