Managed to find a stock S90 r design D4 with winter pack at a price of 1 x £1934.64 17 x £214.96 (8000 miles per annum)

I make this less than 20% of list but wondered where it was in comparison to the earlier deals.

But it’s only 18 months, so the 20% is a little meaningless as it’s often used against a 24 month contract.

I’d compare the amortised monthly figures for a like-for-like comparison instead.

That's the exact same deal and car I got, but for 24 months.

18 months amortised = £310.50/month
24 months amortised = £286.61/month

Regardless, for that car it's still a pretty great price.

I nearly ended up with an Irish spec S90 on steels! Luckily dealer found me another osmium grey Uk car with winter pack instead of reverse camera so swopped for that.

Not sure on delivery as Jack left a voicemail detailing the above figures n spec , worth a phone call in the morning, if it was me personally, I’d deal with DONNA who is Jacks boss, cut to the chase so to speak as he had to confirm everything with her.

I initially insisted them to find me a like for like Mills offer last week but this is the best they could do today, MY18 has dried up so say hello to MY19.

Thank you! Spoke to Jack this morning and signed up for a MY19 V90 D4 Rdesign with winter pack for £239 x 17 with £1999 initial payment. Happy with that given it's MY19 and all other dealers are much higher.

If anyone wants the details to the S90 I had on hold PM me.

Thanks again!

Did anyone go for a maintained contract? Is it worthwhile? How much extra were you quoted. Local dealer has quoted £300 for first service and £450-500 for second service. Sounds extortionate!

Did anyone confirm that these lease volvos could actually be serviced at somewhere like a Halfords autocare rather than main dealer?

[grayslick]

I'm waiting for an s90 in the next week or so from Jet Vehicle Finance and they have indicated the servicing can be done via an independent garage network and not a Volvo dealer.

I've deduced from reading this thread my s90 is probably an Irish spec car (rear camera but no electric boot).

Managed to get myself a S90 R design with winter pack and keyless entry. Wasn’t my first choice of colour but took the plunge. Looking forward to getting the car!

Being my first lease car got a question about GAP insurance. Is this a must? Who have others gone with?

Might not be same for everyone but I was advised of the above during the ordering process.

Just lined up an S90 Momentum with black paint and the TFT instruments for £259 on 3+17, 10k miles. Absolutely stonking value. Can’t wait to pick it up!

[Hugo85]

Picking ours up a week on Saturday. We have been waiting ages as we delayed pick up to coincide with the golf R going back.

V90 R Design with front sensors.

9+23 @ circa £275 @12k pa

So glad we went for it as since we ordered
some 5 months ago there doesn't appear to have been any decent 'deals' (that would have suited us anyway)

Some wee birds have decided to start nesting on the front of our house, and our cars seem to have become their chosen toilet facilities.

Went to wipe some bird st off the top of the V90 this morning - rigid is not a word I would use to describe the roof! Felt like pushing in the side of an empty coke bottle! Not a comment on the quality or anything - just surprised at how easy it was to bend.

Note to self: Don't put anything even vaguely heavy on the roof

A word of warning to those of you who were hoping to get away with just one service during a 2 year lease by doing the 1st service a couple of weeks late.
When I checked my car that I had a couple of days the next service was due in something like 315 days. I mentioned it to the dealer who said the count starts the day the car is registered so if your car has been sitting around in storage yards for a few months before you took ownership you will probably be getting the car serviced alot earlier than you thought.

Took delivery of this Wednesday to replace my R Estate which goes back tomorrow.
Got stung on the A6 Black Edition so jumped straight on this.
It's a lovely motor you dont see lots of these knocking about which i like.
I don't like these service prices though!
Got mine through stoneacre chesterfield.

Good job and you’re welcome, price has now gone up and you got the one off good rate MY19 , as advised by their sales manager just now. Someone else wanted one but quoted much higher so I made a quick phone call. Enjoy!

20 inchers? R design pro? Looks a beaut!

The 18s just don’t cut it on these cars IMO

That's what I thought before I got it, but now I'm not so sure. They look like 'big' 18s - must be the way they're designed or maybe they've got low-ish profile tyres or something. My wife's car has 18s and it makes mine look like 19s when they're parked next to each other.

Considering how crashy the 18s are over pot holes I probably wouldn't want bigger now.


EDIT: Just to say the 20s look awesome and definitely suit the car better, but the 18s don't look lost at all.

When mine arrived from Stoneacre it had '315 days until service', but they said explicitly to ignore that and take it as 365 days from delivery.

On reflection I'm now going to get that in writing...

Does that matter - you take it in for service - Does it say within one month either side of the 12 month point so say at week 53-54 - the service book is stamped and the service counter reset and off you go for the last 12 months

You don't need to get it serviced on the exact date but 50 days late is probably pushing it and if you want to make sure service 2 does not need doing before you hand it back you need to service it even later so you are looking at around 2 months late for a service.

due to time from first registration
There's not a delivery check or one month in service the dealer is supposed to do?
Th delay could be to make sure leessors definately do two services

No other checks or one month service so it will just say a service is due in 10 months rather than 12
