Sorry for asking again, but when did you originally order? Mine has also been delayed twice from an early October original order and I was told it was already built and would be shipped on the 12th May for an end of May collection.
I’m seriously annoyed already and not sure I could take another delay. Jealous at The A class deals that have been and gone on here too.
I ordered back in October too. The original delivery date was meant to be late Feb/early March.I’m seriously annoyed already and not sure I could take another delay. Jealous at The A class deals that have been and gone on here too.

Thanks for the reply. Annoying how much of a wait it’s turning out to be. I’m genuinely unsure I would’ve placed an order if I had been told it may be June until I was gonna get it back at the start of October. Feel a bit stuck now, so not sure if I would cancel if I was given a further delay but that is how I’d probably feel in the moment if I’m informed in another delay.
If you spec a car using Volvo's new "order online" feature, it gives an estimated delivery date for that exact version: https://www.volvocars.com/uk/buy/shop/volvo-online

It's just incredibly frustrating. Feel a bit stuck now, so not sure if I would cancel if I was given a further delay but that is how I’d probably feel in the moment if I’m informed in another delay.
To put it in perspective, since ordering the car I have conceived a human being, who as it stands will be delivered before the bloodie car!

Haha, congratulations! Let's hope it is good news for us in the coming weeks with receiving the cars - if I'm told June, I don't know how I'll react...!To put it in perspective, since ordering the car I have conceived a human being, who as it stands will be delivered before the bloodie car!

Ha, cheers.I'd love an email out of the blue to say my car is suddenly available ahead of schedule, but the cynic in suspects otherwise.

Latest update for my S90 ordered in January:
"your vehicle has a ‘Unconfirmed’ build week of 34 which is week commencing the 19/08/2019", so late September for delivery
Blimey. So if Santander are still decent pricing then I should look to order another one just halfway through the 18 month Lease :-)"your vehicle has a ‘Unconfirmed’ build week of 34 which is week commencing the 19/08/2019", so late September for delivery

Christ, this thread makes me miserable, haha!"your vehicle has a ‘Unconfirmed’ build week of 34 which is week commencing the 19/08/2019", so late September for delivery
Will get in touch with my dealer now for an update to see how likely it is I'll be picking it up in three week's time...!

They say not... but seems odd to me that they'll manufacture MY19 & 20 concurrently on the same line.
You'll probably get a cancelled MY19 order from a poor punter who gives up waiting!Just been reassured mine is due at the dealer on 22nd May. Will feel more comfortable when it is actually in the country (expected on the 17th).

Fingers crossed you get yours on time.Just been reassured mine is due at the dealer on 22nd May. Will feel more comfortable when it is actually in the country (expected on the 17th).
I've made it fairly clear that if mine gets delayed again I'm cancelling. Broker seems to think they have over-compensated on the anticipated delivery time - Let's wait and see.
First Service update for V90 D4.
12 months into 18 month lease
Just hit 15k miles.
My local Volvo dealer agreed to price match a quote obtained from a Volvo Indy that was close by. Down from £280 odd to £214.60.
Booked it in for today and waiting whilst it was done. All in all a quick and painless process that took just over an hour.
Software updated with the usual oil and filter changes and checks.
The front tyres are down to approx 4.8mm to 5.0mm at 15k miles which I hope will last by the time it goes back in October. How is everyone elses tyre wear ?
Quick tip, if you can get any nearby places to quote using genuine parts, ask your local dealer for a price match and they might just do it. I didn't even have to provide evidence or a quote from the alternative garage. I simply mentioned a name and the price and it was agreed and booked it at the lower price without any problems.

I’m looking at placing an order in the next month for a V90 Momentum, I’ll have to be looking at in stock options, does anyone think there’ll be MY20 Plus versions appearing in stock soon? I can only find MY19’s at the minute.
I could hold off selling my current car I guess until the MY20’s start to become available, just trying to work out the right timings to sell/buy.
Thanks

Good work on the service price, £214 is much more palatable than the prices I have seen elsewhere. Which dealer was this with?12 months into 18 month lease

15k on the tyres and still 2.5mm approx left to use sounds good. Should make at least 24k out of them unless you discover a sudden desire to race it from the lights for the last 6 months.

This was at Volvo Nottingham Marshall. 15k on the tyres and still 2.5mm approx left to use sounds good. Should make at least 24k out of them unless you discover a sudden desire to race it from the lights for the last 6 months.
The 15k has been a mix of motorway, B roads and city driving so hopefully if I take it easy for the last 6 months I can avoid having to replace them.
Any ideas the costs involved for scraped alloys ? I can't seem to locate the paperwork
