Hi Duckjam
Thank you for your reply Finally got the XC90 yesterday. Hubby was very pleased with it. Felt bigger than I remember when we test drove it a few weeks ago but went for the manual one as thought it might be a bit better on fuel costs. Keep reaching for the handbrake but on the manual one it is on the floor. Will have to get used to driving before we start towing. Hope I will be able to manage it but it looks stunning.
I did like the Santa Fe but would have not been able to go for a newer one due to the cost. Will let you know how we get on. Just need to book hols for May now so hoping there are places available. Thanks SH

Plus 1 for Duckjam's quotes, i had never had a 4 x 4 until my new santa and it is as cheap as my audi A6 was, slightly higher fuel costs levelled out by cheaper servicing and better warranty.
Duckjam, was your service a 12 month or 24month service. i have been quoted £256 by one dealer and £442 by another for the 24 month identical service. Wonder which one will get my business!!

Hi Duckjam, I paid £210 for my 12 month service but already done 16000 miles but have since changed jobs so only do 10k per year now. The dealer i am using is 6 miles further but all country roads so no big deal and while i could ask the other to price match i don't like the fact they tried to rip me off with a £440 quote in the first place the other offered their best deal first time so will stick with them.
had no need to use warranty yet but good to hear. My mate has the same car but manual and he went into the back of a van (insurance scam actually) and he is having to wait 5 weeks for parts which is a bit of a blow but service still good.

My Santa Fe is at the garage being serviced as I write! Cost is £165 (+VAT) plus front brake pads. This is for its annual service, it's a 56 reg & has done 34,000 miles.
When we bought it last May it had 6 months remaining warranty which we put to use straight away as the rear seat wouldn't fold forward! Unfortunately warranty has now expired but if I'm ever in a position to buy new I wouldn't hesitate!
