XC60 Buying Questions
I`m looking to replace a Mondeo estate, and a couple of options are the v70 and xc60 but am leaning towards the xc60. If I went for the xc60 it would be the 2.4D DRIVe s model.
I think I`ve read most of the threads regarding the xc60 but just have a few of questions if anyone can help out. 1. Is the service interval for this engine 18000 miles? (the dealer I spoke to wasn`t sure) 2. On the scrappage scheme my understanding from reading here is currently volvo are offering 15% off pre-vat list price + £1k from government. Have I got that right? 3. Is the 3 year (or 3xservice interval) available with the scrappage deal? 4. I understand the free servicing promotion is available on vehicles registered before 30/09/09. Due to build times, would I be looking at unregistered dealer stock rather than one built to order to get registered before the end of September? 5. I thought I read on here, but cant find it now, about volvo px support of £2k. Have I got that right? Is that an add-on to whatever px the dealer would give you? 6. If there was no part-ex or scrappage involved, what kind of discounts would I be looking at on the xc60 DRIVe base model? Thanks if you can answer any or all of these! |

I will try to answer this.... 1. I was told the service is 12 months OR 18000 mls whichever comes first. 2.No idea, seems to change from day to day. I received £1K (-86 Micra) + £1K ex government + £1K Volvo XC60 deal. 3. Nope. Personally I got this thrown in as well in the deal (so all in all about £4K discount). 4. You would probably find it rather difficult to find a XC60 2.4D Drive model of a dealers lot, they have only just come out on the market. If you are looking for a great discount, go for a demo that dealer has had forever, ie a D5 185bhp version. 5. Perhaps you mean the £1K + £1K scrappage scheme? 6. Depends on dealer I would think. Try your hardest, if doen't work, see #4.

4. I thought so - and the dealer seemed to concur. However - just found out from this that the car has to be registered by 30 Sept and as mine is a factory order, it won't arrive till mid-Oct. Trying to clarify with the dealer now and Volvo UK. Will be mighty disappointed if I don't get this. 5. Thats right and thats what I got - its 2k pre-VAT - most dealers quoted 2k after VAT. This I had clarified with Volvo UK. 6. Try a dealer - I got around 16% off total retail including the 2k volvo uk PX. PM me if you wish and I can put you in touch with the dealer I am dealing with. |

in answer to 4;
I queried Volvo UK customer services via their website and got the following reply (in a space of a couple of hours!): "Thank you for your e-mail. I have checked on this for you and can confirm that the offers available are based on when the car is marked as "customer sold", not when the car is registered. Therefore provided that your dealer ensure your order is marked as "customer sold" in quarter 3, you will benefit from the offers available in quarter 3 regardless of when your new car is registered. I trust this reply answers your query" So thumbs up to Volvo for this! This customer service is fantastic compared to what I have received previously with Mercedes and Audi. |

I managed a discount of 20.7% on a MY2010 2.4D Drive SE using the same dealer as ak888 with them taking my old car as part-exch and also got the 3 yrs free-servicing too. Breakdown as follows RRP XC60 2.4 D SE manual incl del & tax 26495 Front & Rear parking sensors 650 Metallic paint 600 Leather 900 Mats 87.96 Family pack 275 Sunroof 1000 Total 30007.96 Total outlay incl p/x = 23803.89 SAVING = 6204.07 %AGE rrp = 20.7 You should be aiming to get something along these lines - I'm averaging 44 mpg on a daily commute of mainly traffic jams !

Thanks for all the useful and helpful answers on here, much appreciated.
Given that I`d be looking at the DRIVe model, looking at the volvo website, maybe scrappage would be the best way to go for me. Volvo XC60 2.4D DRIVe S On the Road Price £25245.00 Scrappage allowance from Government £1000 Additional support paid by Manufacturer £3678 Total customer savings £4678 (Taken from volvo website) Just wondering if the £3678 is from volvo + dealer or totally from volvo and dealer might chip in with a bit more? Thanks again. |

I have tried all the local dealers & they all do a long page - & 15 minutes - of sums & then end up with exactly the same offer as the Volvo website scrappage page.
Remember you also get 15% off all your options. I would be more than interested in news of dealers who would better this - preferably not in the West of Scotland as I live near Norwich! Chris |
