I was just about to type exactly that !! .....£199 a month is very cheap motoring.isleaiw wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 3:42 pmWhile I appreciate your frustrations, your new XC40 will be depreciating at alot more than £199 a month when you get it - so to be mobile for that cost is very attractive. Its a max £25 every three months to change insurance so another £8 per month.q3billy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 2:43 pm I also don't see why I should be out of pocket because my car has been delayed from September to December.
My dealership told me that they have a finite number of V40s available (so I would have to request one yesterday pretty much) to XC40 customers which would cost £199 a month and do not include insurance, plus they are only allowed to be used for 3 months at a time at this point the lease runs over into a 2 year contract unless you return the car and exchange it for a different one.
This is a huge amount of money, not only will I have to fork out £199 but also pay to transfer my insurance to a V40 and then pay to transfer it again to another V40 and then to my XC40 when I do eventually get it. That's a huge amount of money wasted!
I am without a car shortly and I cannot afford to pay that kind of money.
If I had known about the delays, lack of communication and interest from Volvo and their dealerships I probably would have ordered something else.
You have a £35k car on order. Its small change in the scheme of things.
If you can get the V40 for £199 a month, I would say that is very fair. If you cant, I would be inclined to walk away, Volvo dont deserve your business. Or look at a very special deal on an XC60 to swap to...
It must be so frustrating for people and I know they want to vent that frustration but unfortunately neither the dealer nor Volvo are likely to care.
The car is so worth the wait if people can just hang in there.
