You ordered through Andy as well didn't you Snake? Did he call/email to tell you?
Alas nope. Andy was good, emailed me a quote after some back and forth on a weekend at the time, couldn't recommend him enough. No issues apart from delivery charge of £100.

I went into my local dealer to have a poke about the car to see if I liked it, got talking to the sales guy, they were amazed at the price but after a bit of back and forth agreed to match hence saving me the delivery charge. So went with them (Cardiff).

I've found them good so far so fingers crossed!

Just found this https://www.leasecomparison.co.uk/personal-lease-c...

Admin fee is £299 though. A reasonable deal otherwise?

Don't forget Ray Chapman (York) - I found them the best by far! My local is Marshall, and they didn't seem to have any stock compared to the other dealers frown

Stoneacre Chesterfield quoted me approx £45 - £50 per month extra for maintenance for a v90 D4 R-Design on 15k miles per annum on an 18 month deal. I decided it was not worth adding.

There's a bit of me wishes I was brave enough to spec bright DCR... wink

However two things kept me from doing it.

1, It's only a D4 (might have been tempted if it had more poke).

2, The Mrs' CX3 is Soul Red and they'd have clashed on the drive hehe

Ho hum. Dull Volvo grey for me. Mind you, can't wait to get it. Seen a couple on the road now and they have great presence. They look awesome.

Osmium. Savile in the metal is quite dark, too dark for me. I think it will show a lot of dirt like black.

Same, osmium. I have a urano grey (dark grey) Alltrack and it does indeed show the dirt. Still better than black to be fair. This Osmium looks good, understated colour with the purposeful front grill gives a good look IMO.

I think there is going to be a lot of Osmium grey cars hitting the road.

Has anyone had an update on expected deliveries?

Dealers have gone to ground it seems. Clive Brook certainly have. You live and learn.
Interesting, I am waiting for a response from Neil. Normally he responds pretty quick so let’s see.

Let us know how you got on. I got a build number and thought that was that. Surely they aren't going to come back and say 'no car'?

What worries me is all I have is a build number and nothing else. Fingers crossed.

Did you go for the T4 petrol or D4 diesel? V90 or S90?

Clive Brook don't appear to be geared up for PCH. They don't have the resource. It is only the one guy. I've been waiting weeks for a response. A poor experience thus far. I didn't dick Clive Brook around when I ordered and so I don't expect the same in return.
By dicking around, do you mean he simply hasn't responded to your emails, or that his responses given you cause for concern?

Not responding to any contact, including ignoring phone messages
I found Neil great when ordering, very responsive to email and phone calls. To be honest I haven’t tried contacting him since I have ordered apart from today. Hopefully he is just busy and there isn’t anything to worry about.

Nice one. UKADV had me worried there!
