Dealer Loaner - Old Volvo 240 ha ha! V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be JohnS on  Thu Jan 16 09:12 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi just wanted to post this experience I had with Putnam motors in Burlingame, Ca. I received a special coupon in the mail offering a free loaner car (had a picture of a new S60 right beside it) if I bring my Volvo in for any type of maintenance. Since I have a V70 Xc with approx. 52,000 miles on it, I thought it would be an opportunity to take advantage of this coupon and take my car in for the 52k service and have a chance to drive a new S60 for the day as a loaner. my surprise.... Made an appointment, brought the V70 in to the Dealer. Service rep drives an older 240 sedan next to my newer V70 and tells me this is my loaner for the day...... ie brake lights was not working and the rep had to work on them... I just could not continue my business with this service department.. I guess I was expecting a newer loaner and was quite shock to see this POS as a loaner. Oh well, I just thought it was a little comical.... have a great day Brickboarders...
