Hi
I ordered a new Volvo CX30 6 months ago at list price. Still no sign of the car and the Houthis might delay delivery from China further. Given the average 10% discount alleged on new EVs and the decrease in demand, making a buyers market how should I go about taking advantage. Volvo sales are now on- line and I suspect negotiation directly might not be possible. Should I cancel and try again or would Volvo negotiate?

My typo. XC30 correct. Was told 6-8 months when ordering which was no problem. This is first enquiry as to what to do. I’ll speak to local Volvo dealer first

Not really strange The market for new and second hand EVs has changed markedly in 6 months. If Volvo discounted a car now and I paid cost 6 months ago that would seriously affect the second hand price and a discount would compensate.

Agreed could cancel but I want the car and am happy to pay, even if eventually to lose.

On another matter I have a 2.5 year old XC40 recharge and have had several recurrences of failure of the collision avoidance and drive assist programs. One required replacement of the windscreen. The second time the warning lights extinguished spontanously after a week, after the first time the batteries reached only 30%

A common problem? Otherwise very happy with the car.
