XC90 Delivery

[vwood24]

I ordered a new XC90 on 20th September and have since been told it was due Mid to End October, First week in November and now end of November. Has anyone else had trouble with delivery? Getting tired of waiting for the car now.

Not really. Ordered beg September and delivered last week. But things may have changed with the upcoming VAT change prompting some people to get an order in sooner rather than later.

I ordered on 29th September, still being quoted early January delivery!

I ordered at the same time as Jamk but i am getting quoted 22nd December now.

When i first ordered i was quoted the middle of March!!!

Woo hoo!!!

My XC90 D5 Active Geartronic is now in the UK and should be on it's way to the dealer.

Should be delivered to my door on 30th November. Probably could push for earlier but I have already taken that day off as my current car get's picked up on that day.

Order placed on or around 10th September so not too bad

Any recommedations on insurance? The best quote I have to date is around £320 which seems fine and not much above my BMW 3 series.

Re insurance - what are people with new deliveries of XC90 Active doing for insurance value ? - I am confused as to what I need to cover value wise - is it list price or drivethedeal purchase price ? or somwehere in between ?

And what about gap insurance - I presume I need to get this ? - if so any advice

You need list price for insurance .

I always thought insurance value of the car was about the replacement value -(what it would cost to replace ) which would mean list may or may not have anything to do with it - certainly not after 1 year of ownership , and possibly even not at day 1 based on DTD prices.

I can see that list would be the normal price used on a brand new car , but in this case the delta between list and price paid is so high (-30%) that it seemed worth asking, though of course it may make no difference at all as I am sure my insurance has one bracket for value of £5k - £30k.

If your car gets trashed by an unisured driver, or stolen and torched, what would it cost to replace? are the offers that are available now, gonna be available in 8 months time???

If you read you policy it will state reinstament value not greater than £x

if you value your car at 20k then policy will not pay out more than 20k to replace vehicle (It may pay only 12k)

if you value you car at list (eg 30k) then they will pay out up to 30k or cost to replace at the current time which ever is the least


gap insurance is for Finance usually

your car is often worth less than the outstanding finance, gap insurance means that at any point you shouldn't end up without car, and money owing, It also often covers things like surendering license due to illness (e.g. loss of sight etc) where you return car to dealer, Gap insurance would often cover the difference between whats owed on finance and current value of car
