UK: VOLVO ANNOUNCES REDUCTION IN PRICES

Article Abstract:

Volvo has announced that it is to cut the price of most of its new cars in the UK. In addition to straight forward price cuts, there will also be improvements to the specifications on several models. Savings for the customer will range from GB[pound] 1,100 to GB[pound] 6,935, with some of these savings being achieved by providing higher specification cars for the same price. For example the S80 T6 is being reduced in price by 12% from GB[pound] 33,585 to GB[pound] 29,400 but will also have an extra 9% saving through the provision of more equipment, resulting in a total saving of GB[pound] 6,935.
