When I bought my XC60 in June I had to sign a document which allowed them to change the price as they wished due to Brexit. I only had 8 days between order and delivery as the car was in stock... so largely irrelevant to me
I think it’s legal, I think it’s standard and i think it’s a risk. Not a risk that would stop me buying a car as residuals would go up too! |

Strangely i purchased my car on 13th July and informed it would be a factory build. I signed the relevant invoice and estimated delivery. Apart from the invoice and receipt of deposit i was not given anything further. No T&C's and certainly no information about future costs due to "brexit" was even communicated. At present my delivery date is 3rd October which can't come soon enough. |

This is not a politics forum. Please stay on topic regarding the payment of import duty post-Brexit.

Q1. If I were to order a new Volvo XC90 today, would it arrive before Brexit?
A: Depends on what your dealer is saying. Q2. If it arrives after Brexit, then I might have to pay an Import Surcharge. I believe this charge is highly likely under 'No Deal' to be 10%. Correct? A: Yes. Q3. I've been offered a cracking discount on a new XC90. That is, providing I order it very quickly. I've been told the expected delivery date is currently mid-October 2019. Can I believe this to be true? If it is true, then I would take delivery before Brexit and miss having to pay an Import Surcharge. A: It largely depends on what engine are you ordering. If you are going for a T8, then it will arrive post-brexit. A B5 or something similar, it may arrive before Brexit. Q4. There is always a risk that the vehicle delivery might be postponed/delayed until after Brexit, thereby possibly incurring me with a 10% Import Duty surcharge on the vehicle price. a. Should I risk placing an order? or b. Should I wait a while and miss the cracking discount? There is always a risk too, that the dealership who are giving me the cracking discount are actually telling me a lie about the anticipated Delivery Date. After all, they are 'car dealers'! A1: Brexit is full of uncertainty. What you have now is a discount deal with a possible risk of 10% increase of price. Nobody knows what will happen post-brexit. For me, if 10% is the maximum value they say the price will increase and there is a contract that protects you for a top 10% increase, then go for it. A2: If you wait for after Brexit, you might end up waiting for many months for a car delivery. One of the issues regarding a hard-brexit is how will the imports be handled from Europe from now on, assuming your car will come from Europe. Delays of goods at the borders will be a sure thing. Q5. What do you understand the current expected Delivery Date to be for a Volvo XC90 ? A: Depends on the country and dealer.

To say there will definitely not be any delays at the border - and that saying there will be is project fear - is an opinion right on the very tail of the normal distribution curve.
