The Volvo S90/V90 lease thread
Discussion
Posted this in the lease thread (but then thought better of it). Just picked up my T6 CC - great car, leased it without driving it and was a bit worried by some reviews, but it's really has surprised me. Also gets lots of positive attention - which is nice for a change
Pine Grey with blonde interior - 3+23 @ 430 - works out around 21% which was good enough for me.

I replied in the main lease thread but must have been looking at an old screen. Just ordered a T6 CC as well, delivery in June, in Savile Grey with charcoal. I'd have loved the blonde interior but I had to go with what was in stock.Pine Grey with blonde interior - 3+23 @ 430 - works out around 21% which was good enough for me.
I haven't driven one either but I have fancied a V90 since they were launched; the interiors are lovely and the exterior looks great. So even if it's dull as can be to drive, it won't be a disappointment.
Edit: it might actually be Onyx Black now, not Savile Grey - which is fine with me too. Wonder if I'm chasing someone else who is ordering and being indecisive about colour?

I have a T6 in Savile and Charcoal. I nearly went for a Denim/Blonde car but decided it'd be a pain to keep the setas clean as everyone in our house wears jeans. The interior is a nice place but in hindsight i'd have probably gone with a lighter exterior to contrast with the plastic moldings.I haven't driven one either but I have fancied a V90 since they were launched; the interiors are lovely and the exterior looks great.

PS - I'm 800 miles in and averaging 23 MPG!!
I regretted the colour I chose for my A6 Allroad for that very reason (and I had free choice with the Audi) - so I hope I don't regret the black. It's a shame the trim round the windows isn't chrome and the aluminium sill covers are optional, but if I wanted flashy I'd have gone for an R Design.
23mpg - I had already worked out that fuel economy doesn't make that much difference over 8-10k miles but having to fill up more regularly is going to be a shock to the system! I got better economy than that from my 2004 BMW 545i Tourings!

Well you're turbo charged and supercharged PS - I'm 800 miles in and averaging 23 MPG!!
That's a nice offset to the not great mpg!

With a cocker spaniel I’m going to have to get some decent seat covers and a boot liner. And watch the jeans like you say. If you’re averaging 23 mpg, it sounds like you’re really enjoying yourself too?
Any early tips to offer please?

Yes - I am also assuming they are the 2018 model not 2019 - so no front parking sensors (as per previous posts on this thread)?
So after arranging delivery date and getting the reg number of the black one, I then got an email saying “Really sorry - I’ve just been informed that these are Irish spec vehicles and they don’t come with electric tailgate or gear shift paddles. Hope this is ok?”Really f*cking bugged me but could probably make my peace with it, but thought I would try it on and push for discount etc. Got told that they were “only so cheap because they were Irish spec” - which bugged me even more so I decided to check how cheap they really were.
Found Stoneacre Lincoln offering black (UK spec) V90 R Design in stock for £199/month on 9+23 8k p/a with no fees. £15/month more for Winter Pack - exactly same price as Nationwide for the S90.
So have now cancelled the S90 (may be available if anyone’s looking) and got a V90 on order!

Where was yours on order from? Concerned mine from Central Vehicle Leasing will be one of those...Really f*cking bugged me but could probably make my peace with it, but thought I would try it on and push for discount etc. Got told that they were “only so cheap because they were Irish spec” - which bugged me even more so I decided to check how cheap they really were.

I think it must be that Denim Blue/Blond T6 CC that I’ve signed for this week! Hopefully delaying delivery for 2-3 weeks to dovetail with my Alltrack’s return.

Nationwide haven't contacted me.and I doubt they will - presumably this would have been shown on the specs on the website at the time - although I saw no reason at the time to do a comparison between the Volvo configurator online and the Nationwide website specifications.
So - if you look at the Irish website https://www.volvocars.com/ie/build/sedan/s90/r-des... the electric tailgate is a €625 extra and Front park assist €460 (neither standard on the current model in Ireland)
There should have been a note on the description at the point of order that these are Irish spec vehicles - I am disappointed.
I see that your vehicle is back on line with Nationwide - although £100 a month more expensive against the figures I'm paying for the same vehicle in Bright Silver (20K a year,1 + 23, £402 a month) !
Mine is due for delivery Tuesday - not sure what to do.
