Beating Brexit Day - 31 Oct 2019

Begonia · Aug 18th, 2019, 14:56

The date today is 18 August 2019 and there are 74 days left to go to Brexit on 31 October 2019.

Q1. If I were to order a new Volvo XC90 today, would it arrive before Brexit?

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?

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.

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'!

Q5. What do you understand the current expected Delivery Date to be for a Volvo XC90 ?

Perhaps the most important question is of course missing from your list... will Brexit day be 31/10? After all we don’t have much history of sticking to them and Parliament seems no more decided on a way forward now....whatever buffoon boris says...

A small price to pay to get out.

And those unhealthy snowflakes who die from medicine shortages are just collateral damage.

What however happens to we 'snowflakes' it will be a drop in the ocean compared to what will happen to the youth of today.
So far as the referendum is concerned has anyone on this forum signed up to buy a car without knowing the price?

A deal could have been done. Meaningful votes could have been passed.

They were not as there was no will in parliament who would not implement what people voted for in a democratic vote.

400 years plus of democracy out the window.

For the record I didn’t vote leave.

3 years, it’s long enough. The rulers dont want to carry out the will of the people hence vote everything down, call for second referendums and generally frustrate the process.

A deal to BUY and PAY for drugs does not require 3 years, it simply requires people to do what they are paid to do.

I was worried about this too, having ordered a V60 a couple of weeks ago,
I contacted Volvo Uk who wrote back to me stating as long as the car was ordered before Brexit they would guarantee the price at point of order!
