What is a Demo Vehicle?

If you’re shopping for a new Volvo in Calgary, you may come across vehicles listed as “Demo” or “Demonstrator.” But what exactly does that mean?

A demonstrator vehicle, or demo, is a vehicle that has been used by the dealership for customer test drives, product demonstrations or dealership transportation. Because it has some kilometres on the odometer, it can often be offered at a lower price than a comparable brand-new vehicle.

Why Buy a Demo Volvo?

For many buyers, a demonstrator offers a great balance between new and pre-owned.

Some of the biggest advantages include:

  • Lower pricing compared with a similar new vehicle
  • Low kilometres
  • The opportunity to get a higher trim level or more features within your budget
  • Remaining Volvo factory warranty coverage
  • Potential access to current financing, leasing or purchase incentives
  • Demo vehicles have also remained under dealership care rather than being owned by a retail customer.

Do Demo Volvos Still Have Warranty?

Yes. Demonstrator vehicles generally retain Volvo factory warranty coverage, although the amount remaining depends on when the vehicle was placed into service.

At Valentine Volvo, our team will review the vehicle’s kilometres, warranty coverage, equipment and applicable incentives with you before purchase.

Is a Demo Volvo a Good Deal?

If you don’t mind a few kilometres already on the vehicle, a demo can be one of the best ways to save money on a Volvo while still enjoying many of the benefits of buying new.

You may even be able to move into a better-equipped model or trim for the same budget you originally planned to spend.
