Buy A Volvo 770 Online

Volvo Trucks North America now offers its 770 premium conventional for sale on the Internet. By visiting the company’s Web site, customers can spec, order and finance a Volvo 770.
Mike Delaney, Volvo Trucks’ vice president of marketing, says the decision to sell trucks via the Internet was driven by the significant percentage of truckers who are already on-line.
He quoted research by HDT which shows that more than 55% of today’s truck drivers own PCs and more than 30% of those with computers log onto the Internet daily.
Volvo dealers say the Internet program will complement their marketing efforts.
“Customers may use the web site to directly order a Volvo 770. Others will use it to gather information, test out a variety of truck options, and apply for financing,” said Bill McKenna, president of McKenna Truck Center in Des Moines, IA, and chairman of the Volvo Trucks’ Dealer Council.
To order a Volvo 770 online, log onto http://www.volvotrucks. volvo.com and click on the road sign to select interior trim level, cab color and custom specifications such as chassis wheelbase and fifth-wheel height. After selecting features, you can also see a total price for the vehicle.
To place the order, customers select a participating Volvo truck dealer to pick up the new truck. They can apply for credit by completing a short, online application. The credit application is electronically submitted to Volvo Truck Finance North America, which will evaluate the application within 72 hours.
Once financing is approved, orders are secured by using a credit card to make a $500 down payment. Or, the list of equipment and options can be printed and taken to a participating Volvo truck dealer to place the order in person.
