there was actually quite funny scenario while we were talkin... one of the salesmen came up to us 'excuse me gents'... 'it seems we've got a few volvo fans here and was after some help, a customer is wanting to part ex his flash green v70r with 44k on the clock and atacama interior but we're not sure how much its really worth to take as a trade in, book price we would only really offer him £2000 but considering its a rarer model and its condition it doesnt seem fair'.... i said 'let me know the day he comes in and ill offer him £3000, but our best guesses was about £8000.... then salesman goes back inside and lewis says 'when he said excuse me lads i thought he was gonna say 'excuse me lads do you mind moving away from the nice shiney cars' :lol::lol::lol:

Always nice to meet other enthusiasts whilst out and about and unplanned, makes your day :) I gave my mum a lift to our local Volvo dealers so she could pick her car up, when she bought it, one of the younger salesmen came out and said that can't be a real 850R as it's not yellow.... :uglyhamme He was quickly educated by the more experienced sales people... lol, at least the staff at your dealership seem more knowledgeable.. :)
