I have now received my “revised” quote from DAF which is now
£64,097
But this is before any of the “extras” that I want fitted and also I cant get the size tanks fitted in the chassis I want.
I have also received my quote from VOLVO this is after 3 weeks but they have explained the delay to my satisfaction (wires getting crossed at Warwick)
For an FH12 460 I-SHIFT Prestige xl globetrotter 6x2 they have quoted me
£66,922
This is with full R & M for 3 years as opposed to 3 years PMI with DAF.
And also come with all the extras (dealer fit) that I want the only additional items would be the tanks & roof air-con unit.
Talking af which I’ve seen in this weeks C.M that eberspacher have a new product out along these lines on page 23 (Neil )
Still waiting for IVECO,MERCEDES (strange he seemed the most keen on the phone) will ring RENAULT next month when the magnum with the volvo running gear is debuted.May even ring MAN/ERF as well.
That’s not a bad price for the Volvo. I saw the Eberspacher thing and that looks very good, will talk to Volvo about getting one fitted when I spec the new truck in the new year, well worth £995 when it stops having to sleep in an oven. Not really worth getting one on this one as I will only have it for another 15 months and not all those months are hot ones.
There is a feature on the roof mounted units that work with water in the latest T&D and they say the price tag for one of those is £8500. Can that be the right price or is it a misprint and it is meant to be £850. I mean the Erberspacher one is £995?
