So had my test drive today in a D5 SE Lux - its very nice - I am totally smitten. The engine is pretty quiet and pulls really well. I was expecting something akin to a tractor after reading some of the press reviews.
We had a chat about prices on new XC60s and the dealer told me he would be unable to take any orders until mid April as the MY09 quota was all sold and the MY10 was not orderable yet as the price increases have not been confirmed.
He did his best then to sell me some current stock - but nothing quite matched what I am after.
So I later went to another local dealer - and they have a demonstrator that more than matches my requirements - so i'm just waiting for the trade-in price on my car. Then I can start negotiations on there demonstrator. Looks like I might be able to get a D5 SE Lux, (fully loaded with everything) for no more than a new D5 S and a few options. Fingers crossed.
