A few weeks ago, one of our Volvo mechanics handed me the patch and said, “I know you’re a SAAB nut and found this while I was cleaning out some things. I thought you’d like it.” I do like it especially as it describes my abilities: associate-assistant-step-aside-pay-somebody-else-to-finish-the-job-before-you-ruin-it-technician.”
Yep, that’s me.
Senator Reid goes to a local GM dealer in Washington DC with the intention of buying a new vehicle. The senator looks around and finds one that he likes. After going back and forth with the salesman, he settles on a reasonable price. Senator Reid and the salesman go back to the office to complete the paperwork. They finally work out a 4-year payment plan, and he signs on the bottom line. The salesman shakes the senator’s hand and says, “Thanks Senator Reid, the car will be ready for pickup in 4 years.” Senator Reid frowns and replies, “What are you talking about? Where are the keys to my new car?” The salesman calmly replies, “No, you don’t understand Senator. You make payments for 4 years THEN we give you the car.” The senator turns bright red, and yells, “That’s not fair!” The salesman replies without any doubt or embarrassment, “What’s the problem, Senator Reid? It’s no different than your healthcare plan.”

This morning, as I was sending directions to a possible customer, I noticed how centrally located Leikin Motor Companies is. Thanks to the interstate system, we’ve had customers from Canada, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, and southern Ohio. That’s a definite plus when it comes to reaching a wide variety of customers.
Just don’t tell anyone about the constantly changing weather. 
Check out the nice comparison of the newly named Volvo’s Safe+Secure program. With all that they are currently offering, it makes a lot of sense to go with a Volvo. Note also that Volvo is ranked as the least expensive luxury car to maintain.
“Volvo is excited to announce an unprecedented, Best-in-Class Coverage Plan that gives you five years* of ownership at next to no cost on all 2010 and 2011 models. It’s called the Safe + Secure Coverage Plan, and it offers tremendous value by saving you thousands of dollars on your vehicle repairs, and provides you peace of mind during your ownership experience. In fact, Volvo has the lowest cost of ownership of any luxury brand according to IntelliChoice.
“The Safe + Secure Coverage Plan offers you exceptional value and financial security that goes beyond crumple zones and airbags – it’s the security that only Volvo offers.
“It’s ‘Safe’ because it’s from Volvo, and it’s ‘Secure’ because you’ll be driving your Volvo virtually worry-free for five years. The Safe + Secure Coverage Plan from Volvo. Because you should feel as secure purchasing a new Volvo, as you do driving one.”
*Actually, it’s the one behind the Vette, but I couldn’t resist.
If you have ever been to Leikin Motor Companies, this man needs no introduction. He has probably washed, vacuumed, or detailed your vehicle. Horace Lawrence is one of the wash rack guys at Leikin Motor Companies. He is known for his hard work and attention to detail. So, you can understand why so many of our customers value the free car washes available to every service and sales customer. The results are that good.
Horace has been in the business for over 20 years. So, you might say he has a little experience at what he’s doing. He and the rest of the crew have detailed everything from Hyundai to Mercedes-Benz. And the job is done so well that some customers only bring their vehicles to Leikin when they needs to be cleaned. That’s a good reputation and Horace is a big part of that. Thanks, Horace!
If you had the choice of saving $5,000 off the price of a new Volvo or getting a 0% interest loan*, which would you choose? Once you get back up off the floor, consider this. Volvo’s new partnership with US Bank is making a big difference. When you purchase a Volvo C70, XC70, or S80 during the month of April, you have the option of saving the money immediately or over the life of the loan.
And while we’re talking about saving money, did you know that Volvo’s Safe+Sound Coverage Plan gives you an incredible 5 years or 60,000 miles of Bumper to Bumper Warranty, Factory Scheduled Maintenance, Roadside Assistance, and Wear & Tear coverage. On average that will save you over $6,000! Factor that in with the already incredible incentives, and purchasing a new Volvo now makes a whole lot of sense.
Looking at a different Volvo model? That’s not a problem. Volvo is offering incentives, loyalty benefits, and low interest rates on their entire line-up. And with all these savings, you’re left with a fairly easy question:
When should we expect you?
