Oh I can't wait for this to get cocked up!!

It's definitely a PCP, I've looked at the legality and whatever they have written in the agreement is unenforceable by law. It must be able to be VT'd. I've (well, Copilot has!) penned an email which I'll be sending tomorrow stating I wish to VT, not Voluntary surrender as that's different, come...

I'm aware! The finance guy in Lincoln hadn't seen one without a vt clause either. The benefit of hindsight! Just been in and I'll not be changing. The extra 5k discount is if the finance was taken, and I've no immediate desire to give Satander any more money and they didn't know whether the...

It's a fixed term fixed price PCP. I know, I've never heard of it, nor had the new dealers in Lincoln! The old one, Charles Warner, went under. It's my hypothesis that the then salesman didn't submit my signed contract to Santander and when I came to collect the car, he said they wouldn't honour...

I tried this but the dealer screwed me over. Turns out my PCP isn't actually a PCP, it's a fixed term, fixed price with a GFV. Sounds like a PCP to me but apparently Santander don't agree! I have the option of buying the X-Power in cash outright but the answers above about residuals are a fair...

I popped in to my local dealer today and they've offered me a new X-Power in the matte green for £25,250. My problem is offloading my prefacelift mg5. The gfv is £10,750 but they valued it for px at £7500! My settlement is £12000 as of today and it's due in March. Brilliantly over the mileage by...

Yeah that pic does look like the floor is in the low position. Thanks for posting! I think I might be giving Cazoo a call when some stock of these arrive! It looks fantastic and a definite step change from my MG5 LR. Probably going to be a good year before then though I suspect?

So still no word on the most important factor (for me anyway!) Do the rear seats fold flat?!

I sold my X1 through Cazoo and they were brilliant. Saw the car, moved it 2m forwards, 2m back then said yes they'd have it if I still wanted to sell. I said yes, he pressed a button on his iPad and the money was in my account there and then. They took it away and I shed a little tear as I had...

Hmmmm. I hope you're right but I'm not convinced you are. There's no release date that I'm aware of yet and no pricing structure released or even model names & spec & colours confirmed afaik? I'd check if I were you!

Hope so for your sake! I read there were some dealers that had stopped taking any more orders as they couldn't guarantee getting any more cars.... Sure you'll be fine though!

Cos I'm a tight a**e, I kept hold of the Boot Buddy liner I bought when I bought my last ICE car, a BMW X1, and thought I'd be able to trim it down to fit the 5 when it arrived. I just tried it and it's pretty much a perfect fit! I've removed the rear seat (also a lot easier than I expected it...

I DO miss the adaptive lighting in the X1 though. Lighting up the corners as you go around them. I didn't think I noticed it until I found myself looking into the darkness of a corner when driving my MG5 when before in the X1 it was lit! Small compromises really.

Yeah I'm the same... I was expecting them to be atrocious after reading pretty much universal condemnation on here, but I'm pleasantly surprised by them... I mean, they're not like the Supernovae that I had on my X1, but they're certainly not as terrible as the 15 year old Avensis I just chopped...

I turned the lane assist off at the suggestion of the dealers. It's more for motorway with definite white lines instead of through town driving. He was dead right as I sneakily turned it back on on my first day to just see if it was overkill. It's not! It needs to be off in town!
