Volvo dilemma

anotherv60 · May 22nd, 2018, 23:26

Hi Folks,

Anyone know of any good XC90 deals? Think I might be buying another Volvo much sooner than anticipated. Mrs AnotherV60 until this week had driven the V90 for about 5 mins. She's been to Surrey for a work meeting and due to childcare / grandparent ferrying fun we swapped cars as she has a 7 seater VW Sharan. After initially complaining how the car was too low to the ground, she has now said that her next car is going to be a Volvo. Specifically she likes the following about the V90 in this order:

1) Seat heating (seat is hotter than VW - apparently it was cold in the morning!)
2) Pilot Assist - she drove for 130 miles each way without using the pedals
3) Spotify.
4) Volvo digital display and sat nav and general Scandi cool interior make the Sharan feel like a car from the 80s.

Anyone in a 2 Volvo family?

I have used these guys for many years for various brands of cars - Preston Skirrow. If you google, you'll find their details. The bankers in London love using them as it saves them going into dealerships for hours...just order and the car will be delivered to your door when ready...

They are particularly good with Volvos - purchase or lease. But you may prefer face-to-face with a local salesman for peace of mind of course.

Perhaps to low to the ground can be solved with a V90CC?

When I met my Mrs her parents had just sold a Gen1 XC90, and bought a V70. Her sister had a V50. Since then the now in-laws swapped the V70 for a newer XC70, and then when we had the first child we bought a V60.

Now with a second on the way, we got the XC90 and the two look excellent sat on the drive next to each other.

Welcome to Volvo, you’ll never leave

See my signature.

I am on my 4th Volvo and my other half replaced her cmax for a V60 about 18 months ago.

We have an excellent local dealer which helps too.

Only 2!

I have a 2018 V90
My wife has a 2001 V70 still going strong
Daughter recently upgraded her C30 to a V40
Future son-in law liked the V40 so much he went for a V60

I saw this deal, but unfortunately it must have gone almost immediately.

£315 per month, £2882 deposit, 36 months, 8,000 miles! Nothing else is within £100 per month of it.
