New car for me.?.?. UPDATED 2012 Volvo C30 R-design

[Gas Man]

My brother in law just told me he got a job promotion to mechanic complete with assigned work truck. He wants to get rid of his 2010 aveo... trying to get our wives little 16 yr old bro to buy it. He said I could give up and just make his payment. LOL

This is so much cooler than anything else I been looking at! LOL

It looks just like this one

Yeah don't worry. A quick chat with the wife to go over pros/cons nixxed it out of the runnings fast. Big cons... besides the lack of cool & power. I don't want another chevy, no way! Second, if I have problems with GM warranty in the future, it will be ruff go around I think after I'm done with my current car.

So onward and back on track. I want the volvo.

The overseas delivery, upon further research, does have some BIG negatives.

If I ordered today, due to summer shut down, I'm looking at the earliest pickup (deilivery there) in sweden is begining of Oct. I have to make full payment of the car 1 month prior to that date. Which means I would be making the first payment about the same time I see the car for the first time, in sweden.

Worse news... it would then take 8-10 weeks to recieve the car in michigan after my test drive around in sweden. So I would be making 3-4 payments on a car I've only test drove.

Not too mention not having it and being forced to drive a loaner from either my bud (truck) or mom (her fusion that she barely drives).

I have a dealership looking for cars around with what I want. Then maybe see if they want to deal on price. I would like to at the least get the 3.4% off I could get with overseas delivery.

Well the new 2012 C30 is coming with a few new options and the packages are setup differently. But in any effect, Saturday, I ordered the new one. Due to timing I just went with a altered to my preference "coming dealer stock" R-design. This saved huge time. Overseas delivery was looking like turkey day for me to have it here. Where this way, I'm looking at mid-september.

I ordered it completely loaded with everything but an auto (want a stick), and BLIS (blind spot monitor junk).

Got it in the dark grey, with grey/black leather. I am waiting for an email to be sent to myself so i can possibly link it here.

Here's a video of the orange version and being there aren't any 2012's, I wonder about their title.

Well I got some off that price. But when you add in all the options I want (nearly everything) it starts to add up.

Nope... put a down payment on it. The time table is not up to me.
