Seems expensive? That's 9k. Most deals are around 7.3k all in plus options.

Agreed. My deal is almost bang on the 7.3k over 2 years. That's way too expensive. The cheap deals are still available so if I was you, I'd look at cancelling and getting one elsewhere.

I went to their Warrington dealership, salesman couldn't give a monkeys about dealing with me. Gave him the details to quote, he phoned me up 6 days later and in that time I had chased him up about 4 times for a price. When he rang he said "right about your quote"...to which I replied "don't bother".

Agreed also! Winter pack is what, £500?

Mine came to £7,648 for 9+23, 8kpa, metallic, front sensors and rear camera (£7-800 of options).

I tried them first of all due to seeing the original posts on here. They were not that much cheaper and with the winter pack we’re coming in around the same.

I went with the Chester branch as they are only down the road and closer to deal with if anything went Pete tong. The fact they also took my old car as part ex swung it.

First time leasing so I think when it comes to renew after 2 years need to be a bit more hard faced with them

Anyone any idea what the real world economy is in the T4 petrol? And has anyone actually driven the T4 to check out the engine?

After calling 5 dealers and none of them having a T4 - I was told by Volvo UK that the demonstrator cars will start to trickle through in the next 2 weeks.

Does anyone know any garages with access to stock v90 d4 r-design? Current car is being assessed but seems to be a write off, so need a car quickly.

Thanks,
Nick

Sorry to hear about your vehicle. You may be best contacting Volvo UK but I highly doubt there would be any stock R Design vehicles lying around due to the current deals available on them. My guess is they've all been snapped up.

Could anyone tell me what documentation it is that has all the details in about servicing etc, intervals where it needs to be serviced and where is it stated how much fine it would be if it were to miss its service in the contracted hire period? I've been looking through all the docs sent me me and I cannot find it?

Any help would be great.

Looking forward to my delivery of the V90 sometime in march😁

I know that its 12 months servicing, although if you do high miles, it might be less than 12 months - that bit I don't know. I'm a low mileage driver so will fall into the 12 month category. My plan is to service it once (at 12 months and 1 week) and then hand it back after 24 months, with the 2nd service due a week after hand back.

I read somewhere that it's only £300 fine if it comes back with no servicing at all, I just wanted to find something in writing confirming something

On the Lex autolease paperwork, it states you will be fined £300 if there are no recorded services. What I'm not clear on, is that if you don't service it, will they service it instead and then charge you for the cost of the service, plus an additional £300 fine on top? I would need to dig into the small print to find out.

I've got nothing in my paperwork at all about servicing, think I need to ask for some, if you find out anything I'd be interested to hear.

It might be a daft question, but why are you considering getting one and then not servicing it?
I touched on this a few pages ago and was made to feel like a tightfisted northerner smile

The fact is this car will need 2 mandatory services over the term costing 750 quid in total

As a new convert to leasing I had never considered cars to be anything other than an emotive purchases however with the numbers laid out plain and simple it becomes rather cold and dare I say it calculating

My 335d will need zero, nil, nothing, zip and niet spending on servicing if I hand it back a week early as it has a fixed initial oil change at 2y and consequently spending the extra, especially £450 on the day its due back sticks in the throat

Id be very keen to know whats in the V90 contract small print, as I have a degree of responsibility Id have the minor oil change but would look to swerve the major service by possibly handing it back early else stalling the first one by a week as already mentioned.

In the meantime this thread is one of my favourites!

Cheers

This is my reasoning too, its a fair bit over the two years and I am a tight fisted red northerner 😉

I think by the looks of it is like was mentioned have the first service a week or two late then hand it back before the second

Interesting that others are with Lex. My V90 deal is with Santander and they only charge £100 for not servicing it?!

Diesel is Santander and petrol is Lex I believe. The pence per mile charge is a lot more with Lex too.

I've had quotes from Neil at Clive Brook for the T4 and D4 R-DESIGN, 8k mpa at 1+23 of £287 and £320 respectively. I won't do more than 8k mpa so tempted by the T4 but not sure if it'll feel a bit sluggish.
