November brings a chill in the air, the warmth of family gatherings, and seasonal sales like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Holiday Sales, and even car sales. With so many choices these days, we at Volvo Cars Dublin thought it would be a good time to provide a quick guide to your options.
Which Volvo is best for me?
Choice is a great thing. At Volvo Cars Dublin, you have your choice of electrified motoring via Mild Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, or full EV. So which is the best choice for you? That depends on your driving needs. Volvo Cars Dublin has a large selection of Volvo cars, SUVs, and wagons with all three engine/motor options. Interest in gas-powered models seems to be on the wane but we have a fair number of customers who still want them. At Volvo Cars Dublin, hybrid vehicles are extremely popular these days. Volvo‘s plug-in hybrids (which Volvo calls “electric cars with a back-up plan”) are an excellent environmentally-friendly, fuel-efficient choice. Mild-hybrids are a green alternative without the plug and feature increased range. Volvo EVs (electric vehicles) are generating a lot of interest. The Volvo C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge have become very popular, and we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of Volvo’s newest EVs – the EX90 and EX30. Some things to consider while making your decision are the driving range of each vehicle, the availability of chargers near you, gas prices, and environmental concerns. Check out our September blog where we went into more detail on this topic.
Should I lease or buy?
We get this question a lot at Volvo Cars Dublin. We’re happy to provide you with answers and run the numbers for you. Here are some general rules of thumb. Leasing a vehicle usually comes with a smaller down payment and lower monthly payments. It also allows you to turn in your vehicle at the end of the lease and drive a new car every few years. Can’t bear to part with your Volvo? You can always purchase it at the end of the lease term. Buying is also an excellent option. Volvo cars, SUVs, and wagons are known for safety, longevity, and being built to the highest standards. Your Volvo will be a reliable companion on your many journeys and road trips year after year. Regardless of your choice, Volvo Cars Dublin will work to find you the most financially viable option. We offer excellent lease terms, as well as low, long-term finance rates. Volvo offers both lease and purchase incentives. The newest option (that we’re very excited to offer) is Care by Volvo. This is a new, all-inclusive car subscription which gives you the flexibility of driving a new Volvo without a long-term commitment. Care by Volvo comes with enhanced scheduled service maintenance, road hazard tire and wheel protection, roadside assistance, and more, built in.
What’s the difference between a new vehicle and Certified by Volvo?
There’s the undeniable thrill and enjoyment of driving a new car. We’re lucky to a have a front row seat as happy customers drive off in a brand, new Volvo. It’s the same experience we have when customers get behind the wheel of a Certified by Volvo vehicle. These offer many of the upsides of driving a new Volvo, but with even more amazing values. Each Certified by Volvo car and SUV must pass a rigorous, comprehensive inspection with over 170 points covered. They are gently used, have a detailed CARFAX vehicle history report, and more. Certified by Volvo vehicles comes with a 5-year, unlimited mile warranty which is upgradeable to 10 years. And all your favorite models like the S60, S90 Recharge, or XC60 are available as Certified by Volvo vehicles. With a vast inventory of used cars, we can find a Certified by Volvo vehicle that puts a smile on your face.
Should I shop in person or online?
