Ref: my post in General Gassing.

I'm opting out of my company car scheme (well, almost certainly will, decision needs to be in within the next couple of weeks) if I can find a decent alternative.

Because of this, I have a shortlist of cars to test, to see if I prefer them to the cars on my company list.

However, I'm struggling to get tests in the S60 and S80 D5s (2.4Ds would be an acceptable compromise, though) - my local dealer let me down badly this morning.

Anyway, my question is - does anyone work for a Volvo dealer who would like to offer me drives? - I'll be honest and say I'm not likely to spend any money until towards the end of September, when the lease car is due back, but I really need to test the alternatives before I sign my company car away....

If anyone can sort a couple of decent tests for me, then they'll almost certainly get my custom if I decide to go with a Volvo when the time comes.

In my case, Volvo have lost a possible sale, as both their dealers and their head office can't or won't find me an S80 to test drive.

My money is going to Saab instead.

I did send you a pm a week or so back to say we have demo cars of both descriptions you wanted to drive, did you not get it?
Erm, I haven't checked my PMs for ages. I don't usually have any.

rofl No one hardly Pm's me either. Always a shock to get one!

Replied now anyway.

A bit too far away, unfortunately.
