Even the used Volvo search site is cumbersome to use - and if you put an enquiry on a specific car, the dealer doesn't get the details of the car you asked about! On the new cars, there are some 2020 edition and 2021 editions sitting unregistered... they are using 20% Friends and Family discounts to try and push the 2020 models but you get a very minimal manufacturer contribution and I think a 4.9% APR... but it still does work out slightly cheaper than the normal dealer discounts and 0%. |

So long as you’re speaking to them by phone. I think they get so many emails and prospective enquiries that they only go with “serious” enquiries. If you make it clear you’re about to spend the £££ they tend to become a bit more interested. I think anyway. Maybe it’s changed.... |

The moment you start getting competing quotes you start driving down what little margin is left for the individual salesman and they quickly lose interest. This always happens to me to be fair. I’m a buyer for a living. I have however found the likes of Carwow good for this. Though less so for the premium brands.

Some Volvo registered cars are off-loaded quite quickly. We bought our previous XC60 at 6 months old with 5000 mikes at a decent discount. My slight bugbear is ex-Volvo cars being labelled 'ex Volvo management'. Volvo doesn't have THAT many managers!

Is it a personal lease that you've got, so there's no VAT in addition to the monthly premium? I'm aware that a vehicle that's leased for business purposes on a business lease means VAT needs to be paid.

Yes, personal lease and the £289 includes the VAT. Lease deals can be varied in terms of the monthly payment. The total amount is the same overall so just depends how you want to spread the payments. Doing a 9 month deposit just means your monthly cost is less. 1 month deposit and the monthly amount is more. |

I run an XC90 Inscription and have worked out, that it costs me around £8k in depreciation and swapping costs per annum to do so. That's if I change it every 4 yrs.
I really do look after it and it will be utterly immaculate when I change it, I would also load it up with an Extended Warranty, for as long as I can get when I come to sell it on. Why do I do the extended warranty? Well, having a good vehicle warranty puts me ahead of other private sellers who are without one. Of course, it's of ZERO VALUE to a Volvo Dealership. I will be selling it on myself using Autotrader and my competition on there will be other Volvo dealers as well as private sellers. I find the creation of my own advert on there to be relatively straightforward as one can generally plagiarise the advert wording for one's own vehicle from the wordings of similar other ones on there. My car will have everything needed to halp make it a really good deal for someone and i will also get a good price. A better price than part exchange too. When I buy, i am a completely independent cash buyer and will travel to get the best deal possible from a Volvo dealer. So for me, it's all about, "How much does it cost to swap? and "How much does it cost me to run a new car for 4 yrs?" These questions are pretty much identical when you do the proper calculations. Hope that helps you crystallise and sort out your own thoughts and plans on this important purchase. |
