I'm basically getting all of my accessories for free and a small amount off the list price.
So i have the best deal so far which is £385.12 per month over 49 months with the load compensating suspension, winter pack, front and back parking sensors and spare wheel.
Car wow started the price off at £35715 minus the 14.9% discount of £5338 which gives a total bill of £30377 then Mill have taken off the dealer contribution of £2750 and my part ex of £2500. Which means the car is worth, £25127.00 which equates to £385.12 per month with free three years servicing and a full tank of fuel as well!!

I might see if i can get a better price for my car via the car online places like we buy any car, or the other sister companies.

I have tried other dealers for the price and to see if i can get any more off or accessories added with out any change to the price but no one is budging!!

Can i just ask, does the Volvo XC60 D4 AWD SE NAV have a add blue tank? I know it has the dreaded DPF but i'm used to that from my Antara.

If its a PCP do check that the Guaranteed Future Value/Final Balloon payment and excess mileage charge (only applies if you "hand it back" which I would never suggest is a real situation) are in line with your expectations. My deal came form Mill as well but took years in the making!

Yeah we have worked out the PCP for the millage we do and the balloon payment at the end is ok, as the car will be worth more! so im happy will Mills deal.

Just spoke to a Gap insurance co. and its much cheaper than the dealerships quote so im already saving money!! roll on friday.

The other 'money spinner' they use is to charge you £400 or so for a cheap and cheerful polymer body coating. Avoid. Either pay half this for an independent to do it (the cheap version) or the same £400 for an independent to do a proper job.

Great advice there: I agonised, then spent £100 on "proper lotions" and a foamer for my jetwash etc (from http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk, FWIW - very helpful fella there!) and much less than that on 12 hours of my son's careful time 'detailing' ours - much more satisfying, & kept some of the money in house, so to speak!!!
