Just ordered my XC90

[Torshen]

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share (because I'm very excited - it's going to be my first ever brand new car) the spec of the XC90 I've placed an order for. Currently expecting dealer to contact me to confirm early in the week.

- Momentum D5
- Ice White
- 22" 6-spoke accessory wheels (bit annoyed you have to keep the standard wheel with this tbh, seems stupid you can't trade them in against the value).
- Blonde perforated nappa sports leather
- Brushed alu trim
- Winter plus pack with heads up display
- Illumination pack
- Family pack
- Xenium pack
- 12.3" Display
- 230v socket
- Power passenger seat
- Heated rear seats
- Tinted windows
- Smartphone prep
- Dirt cover
- Skidplate kit front/rear
- Bumper protection
- Side running board
- Fender extenders (were compulsory for the 22" alloys)

So now begins the long wait, being told May at the mo but I dare say that will slip. Going to seem like an eternity whatever it was tbh.

Hi,

Why didn't you order the inscription as you've spec'd lots of extra? I'm just curious. Hope the order goes smoothly :-).

Why do you have to wait until May?
I ordered mine about 3 weeks ago and should get it mid February

It actually works out more expensive to do the same spec on Inscription because the 22" alloys have to be paired with a body mod option and on momentum you can choose fender extenders (£300) but with inscription you can only choose from the exterior styling kits which are all upwards of £3k.

But on the wider point, it is actually cheaper to do the same spec on R-design but you can't choose blonde leather, which is very annoying and I don't understand why they restrict you to black for R-design.

Going via DriveTheDeal and I guess that's the price to pay for the discount.

How much discount did you manage to get
Best I was offer was 12% but I had to wait until after April therefore getting it before April made another deal more attractive

I think in total it's about 10% but I couldn't find anything better at places that could deliver before the new charges kick in. And I quite like having a '17 plate on it tbh.

Where did you go through in the end, then?

Dealer name removed at OP request
They also have a D5 coming around same time as mine
For the 22 why do you need the extenders? The 20" are the same width 275 yet do not need the extenders.

Oh yeah, forgot to say it's a D5.

No idea why you need the extenders but when you select the wheels on the site it pops up a box saying you have to take an aditional option and giving you some choices. Most of them are the variations of the (£3k+) body styling kit.

Drive the deal. Don't actually know the dealer yet but their T&Cs say not to tell anyway, I think.
