DUST OFF YOUR PASSPORTS!

May Husk taking delivery of her new Volvo C30 in Sweden

Are you in the market for a new Volvo?

Have you always wanted to travel to Sweden?

The timing couldn’t be better to take full advantage of the VOLVO OVERSEAS DELIVERY program.

Here are just a few benefits:

* A huge savings off the MSRP compared to taking delivery of a Volvo that has already arrived here in the USA.
* Roundtrip tickets for two to Europe!
* One free night at the Raddison SAS, a first class hotel in Gothenburg, Sweden, home of Volvo. For a limited time, if customers take delivery of a 2009 in-stock vehicle, Volvo offers an additional free night.
* Fifteen day European Car Insurance coverage including Swedish temporary registration of your new vehicle.
* Tour of the Factory Delivery Center in Gothenburg, Sweden and enjoy a complimentary Swedish Meatball lunch.
* And much, much more…

According to Steve Johnson, Volvo of Calabasas Overseas Delivery expert, this is the best way to buy a new Volvo. Johnson traveled to Sweden in March 2009 to take delivery of the 2010 Volvo XC60. “Go hungry,” said Johnson. The most amazing thing about the Raddison SAS is the breakfast. You have never seen so much food in your life… every day … free,” he said.

As “2008 Salesman of the Year” for Volvo of Calabasas, Francisco Rodriguez earned a factory trip to Sweden. “Volvo treats you like royalty. You feel like you are part of the Volvo Royal family the minute you get off the plane,” he said.

But don’t take our word for it. Just ask Norm and May Husk, Volvo of Calabasas customers who took delivery of their 2009 Volvo C30 in October 2008.

“Our experience with the Volvo Overseas program was truly remarkable. Absolutely every detail was taken care of. The flights were perfect. The accommodations at the Radisson were beyond what we expected. And, yes, the food was outrageously delicious! We spent a week after delivery of the Volvo just traveling by train to Stockholm then back to Denmark. This is an opportunity every prospective Volvo owner should take advantage of. Thank you, Volvo, and Steve Johnson, for this once in a lifetime experience!!!"

Warm regards, Norm and May Husk

Why Do I Need GAP Insurance?

Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) is insurance for car buyers who are financing their vehicle and is available only at the time of sale. It is especially beneficial if you don't plan to make a significant down payment or you are financing negative equity from a traded vehicle. GAP benefits come into play in the event of a total loss. Your primary insurance company may pay the actual cash or market value of your vehicle. However, you may owe your bank more than the market value of your vehicle when you consider tax, title and license fees. The difference between what you owe your lender and what your insurance company is willing to pay is the amount GAP insurance pays. And most GAP insurance policies will pay your primary insurance deductible up to $1,000.


Here's an example: Say total amount financed for your vehicle is $30,000 for 60 months, and your vehicle is involved in an accident and deemed a "total loss" by your insurance company. At the time of the total loss, your loan balance is $28,000, but your primary insurance company agrees to pay you $20,000 based on the current market value of your vehicle. You would be responsible to pay $8,000 to cover the "gap" between what you owe your lender and the amount your insurance company is willing to pay.


For a small monthly fee, you can have peace of mind that you won't be asked to pay for a car you can no longer can drive.

That's the GAP advantage.
