Does Volvo offer packages for a purchase of a 2001 Volvo X40 anymore? When I purchased mine, I was able to select from 3 or 4 different packages! My package included laptop tray that attached to the passengers seat, Volvo umbrella, two very nice Volvo suitcases, and a whole bucket of Volvo cleaning stuff for the car! Also I notice that the 2001 do not come with engine bay panels? Do they not fit the 2001 anymore? So they never designed new panels?

Volvo stopped installing those panels under the hood because apparently they realized that they were pointless as they had no real purpose (added to expenses no doubt). I wouldn't bother installing them either because they do nothing except get in the way whenever one needs to access something under them. I wish all car manufacturers got rid of all the BS plastic garbage (yes, my opinion) that hides engines because it's an engine and should look like an engine. There's a hood over it all that's suppose to keep the stuff covered too and most of our customers never open it anyway. How do I know that most of these people never open their hoods? Because they'll drive for miles to have us diagnose why their low fluid lights are coming on, like washer fluid, coolant and brake fluid.

Last I heard there was an AOL member incentive program, but I'm not sure what models were included. As for the engine bay panels, they were discontinued mid 2000 model year. Don't know why.

It was a $2100 discount and some special package on the S60. I think it's on through March... don't quote me on it though. Check volvospy.com in the S60 thread.

I think Michel is trying to fit panels from a 2000 into a 2001 and he ran into some trouble getting them in properly.. Michel???
