Hello everybody, I would like to say hello to you very briefly and introduce ourselves: We haven’t owned a VOLVO yet. However, we already found that VOLVO has a relatively good reputation and therefore the XC60 was on a list of 4-5 vehicles that were in question as a new purchase. As a diver and motorcyclist we wanted a large station wagon or an SUV that “makes a little bit of a difference”, not a pure lifestyle show car. The requested competitors in the SUV class were, according to my subjective assessment, smaller or had a lower price/performance ratio. My secret favourite (with the four rings in the emblem) had a slightly lower list price in comparable equipment but the new car financing was simply unacceptable. When our VOLVO dealer then also looked up with an almost unbeatable financing offer, since we were still hesitant, we could not say “no”. Now we are very much looking forward to our new Large ones we are called “Gustav”. Agreed delivery date is 27.07., three days before my birthday, after just under eight-and-a-half weeks delivery time, which we find ok. Volvo XC60, R-Design with the D4 engine and 8-Gang Geartronic transmission. In addition we have: – Savile-Grau Metallic-Lack – the business package with HPS and Sensus Connect – Winter package – Light package – Loading space package for sports seats – Driver seat electrically adjustable with memory function – Side and rear window a bgedunkt – trailer coupling, removable – the vinyl luggage compartment protective mat, the Gumi foot mats and the tunnel cover ordered. Supplement from 25.07.2016 – Gustav has been standing at the dealer’s office since 21.07. and we took a first look at him… 🙂 – see pictures
