Seems these are coming through much quicker now. Picking mine up that I ordered mid July next week!
And the AP has dropped again with today’s October update
Just returned from placing my order for a Vapour Grey XC40.
Extremely happy that the AP decreased by £1,000 in the Q3 update! Now just the long wait for delivery…Does anyone know if the AP will be changing in July? Not sure whether to order one now or wait in the hope the AP cost goes down?
It’s just a guess, and we’ll find out in July, but I think that the price shot up so much because they had a huge backlog and was intentionally very high to discourage new orders. It seems they are now getting through the backlog and dealerships have visibility on orders so I would wait till July. When the XC40 was first released and came on to Motability the AP was $2999 because the interest was huge. Within a year that had dropped to around £6/7/899 and later when the initial rush was over dealerships were giving deals where they paid part of the AP. If I’m not wrong, I think Paul Rigby Volvo in Birmingham were paying all the AP at one stage. I remember keeping an eye on them at the time.
Thanks that’s really useful for me to consider! It feels like a bit of a gamble but I’m thinking of waiting until July and see if the prices come down
