Peter Larson

I enjoyed purchasing our 9th Volvo from Volvo Cars of Silver Spring. I can't believe that things went so smoothly. I was surprised that we didn't have to haggle. They were upfront with all the rebates Silver Spring. I can't believe that things went so smoothly. I was surprised that we didn't have to haggle.

Today I bought my third Volvo from Volvo Cars of Silver Spring. Each time has been a great experience. I bought an XC90 in 2019, and two used Volvos since. I was in and out of the dealership in less tha Spring. Each time has been a great experience. I bought an XC90 in 2019, and two used Volvos since. I was in and out of the dealership in less than two hours, received a very reasonable price on a certified pre-owned XC60, and the salesperson, Peter Larsen, was knowledgeable, professional, and really efficient! He even told me about an additional discount I qualified for and didn't know about! I was so happy with my experience and can't wait to pick up my new used car tonight! More

Late this Sunday afternoon, I drove in from DC with my wife and young child to view a car about which I’d communicated with Peter the prior day. Was told it was available on site to view and had been used wife and young child to view a car about which I’d communicated with Peter the prior day. Was told it was available on site to view and had been used as a loaner for three weeks, most recently returned this past Friday. We arrived prepared to purchase, even at MSRP. We were passed off to another salesperson after a slightly awkward welcome. No problem - Peter had another sale in progress and let us know his colleague would work with us. The car was brought around with a dirty exterior and an interior that smelled like food and had spots of dried ketchup or something on the dash and shift lever area. The sales associate mentioned that it just takes an hour or so to clean/detail the car and they usually do this between loaning it out to folks. I’m not sure why this wasn’t done prior to a serious buyer coming to visit with a day’s advance (not a ton of time, but enough). In addition to being a bit put off by the appearance and smell, more substantively, the dirty exterior made it difficult to evaluate the car for scuffs or scratches. And it became apparent that checking the car for signs of use was more important to do than I had anticipated; the car had nearly 1.5 thousand miles registered. I recognize this is not quite enough to be classified as used by the state of MD (this number is 2k - indeed, later on, Peter was quick to point out “that’s nothing”), but it’s certainly more than was implied over the phone (to put into context, if dates are to be believed, we’re talking about the car being driven nearly 100 miles per DAY on average since it arrived at the dealership to be loaned out - and that’s assuming it’s been on loan every business day over this period). Later on when discussing price, Peter returned. My impression was that he was immediately defensive and a bit condescending, and I don’t think internalized our feedback. We ultimately walked away despite, in truth, our actual walkway price being well above the MSRP. I see that this experience seems completely at odds with many other reviews here, all of which are remarkably positive. Only to say, I don’t know what happened here. I’m not a difficult customer - will hardly ever review a product or service provider, good or bad. But particularly when making a large purchase like a car, there’s a basic professional standard of service which I’m afraid just wasn’t met today. (Peter’s colleague Mabel was kind and helpful to our family). More

Every question over a week period was answered in great detail and despite my asking the same question it was as though it was never asked. Very impressed with Peter. In fact after purchasing the Plug-In Hybrid, as of this review, Peter calls me to see how things are going and whether I have questions requiring clarification. Finally, I have been a customer over 30 years .... have not looked backward. Volvo for life. Thank you Peter. More
