Hi, We've done deals with Volvo here in Holland that have enabled us to get some really good deals on very new machinery. In general they just have people run around in a car like that for a couple of weeks or months and after that time they will get a new one. Watch for a thorough check by the seller if it is a car that has been used for 'testdrives', but as it is a conv. 'racing' shouldn't be too much of a problem. Our Volvo experience is that you'll get a good car with a decent pricecut. Go for 28K max!
