However, Volvo doesn't always update the system. There are plenty of times where a car shows up at the dealer and the report still shows PORT status.
Likewise, a car can stay in Port status for days, if there is an upgrade being performed.
FYI - We have had a September 2006 (for a 2007 Model) OSD slot since we placed our order in November 2005.
Your dealer may have filled his available spaces.
Figure deliveries to the US between Oct 06 and Jan 07 for the first batch of cars.
any option you wish you'd purchased that you didn't?
any add-on that you love?
Other than that - love the car - i already have about 4500 miles on it - hard to keep it in the garage.
We are ordering 07's now.
However, you must have 07's allocated in order to place an order.
Dealers have the 07 pricing, base price went up $380.
There is a foam cushion being installed in the roofs to keep the roof cAbles from rattling.
Otherwise, aside from some equipment differences, its the same car.
The ring issue some people have mentioned seems to be a hit or miss phenomenon. None of our cars seems to have it.
The factory will indeed be closing, soon if it hasn't already. Generally closes for 3-4 weeks.
What are the equipment differences - '06 vs. '07?
Are there different options/packages too?
If they are correcting the roof cable issue, why are they not also correcting the aforementioned "ring" issue?
Do they perform the corrections at the port or at the dealer?
Are there Volvo tecnichians at the ports?
Thanks!
When can we see your pics?
Pkg's remain the same, as do colors.
The cable rattle is being corrected by engineers at the port. Each motor company that imports cars has a vehicle preparation center near the port facilities. Volvo's prep center is staffed by engineers and technicians from Volvo.
All upgrades are handled there.
In the case of the "ring" issue, it is not something that is universal. None fo the C70's that I have seen, including the pre-production cars have had this ring effect on the cover. It is possible that this only effects a few cars and that as yet there is no fix for it. Developing new rubber parts does take time.
Have your dealer contact you when a permanent solution is available.
No, the aux port is connected to the radio!
and the kneebone is connected to the shin bone!!
:-)
so this is NOT an FM modulator approach?
any chance we'll see a retrofit on 2004 XC90s?
any chance we'll see a retrofit on 2004 XC90s?
No it is NOT an fm modulator approach and no there won't be an 04 XC90 retrofit.
re the 90
What do you think the soonest overseas delivery date is?
Thank you.
Go overseas..
The prices in US will be really high for a while, and you buy at the MSRP pretty much overseas.
Most dealers(really all dealers) should be selling @ MSRP.
Needless to say there are no deals.
The next round of Overseas Delivery cars will probably be in the spring. Those cars are @ MSRP also, but you do get a free trip to Europe.
However, C70 seems to be much hotter here in upscale So Cal neighborhoods.
I do not believe that anyone has really paid 15K over the MSRP, but I know a couple of people paying some mark-up (the biggest I have personally heard was $7000 over the MSRP)
Thank you.
Bottom line, I had to wait more than 8 months since I placed the order, still not sure it was worth the wait; but I am glad I did not stray from my original decision on the C70. If I had, I know that I would be regretting it today.
Sep 6th, let us know what color and equipment you are getting! If we see you on the road we'll share notes!
Thanks!
Go to topspeed.com and then click on Volvo, then the 2006 c70, they have some pretty good pics and I think the celestial blue with black leather. That is the combo we ordered as well. I really like the flextech look and feel but my wife made a good point about all the stitching in the seat and seat back which might not wear as well. Wonder if anybody else had any experience with the wear pattern on the flextech?
Keeping it clean is another issue however. The fabric is very hard to clean, so I would invest in some scotchgard if I were you.
