Another Neat Overseas Delivery Story...

Image
Here you see Susan Goodrow and her new 2014 Volvo XC90 that she picked up in Sweden. She ordered the vehicle through Lehman Volvo via the Overseas Delivery program. For those who don't know...the Overseas Delivery program combines a new Volvo with a complimentary trip for 2 to the Volvo factory in Torslanda, Sweden. While in Sweden you can drive your new Volvo for up to weeks with complimentary registration and insurance. Volvo will provide you with red tourist plates. When you are done your European vacation, you simply give the car back to Volvo, fly home, and the vehicle arrives at your dealership in a few weeks. When Susan received her Volvo, she noticed the European plates read "EKG 622." The neat coincidence is that Susan is a registered nurse (EKG), and her wedding anniversary is June 22nd! A great memento for Susan and another neat Overseas Delivery story. Susan even sent us a Volvo selfie for our "See Your Selfie in a Volvo" Photo contest while
