Re: Poll: Lead times ( from order till delivery)

I've given mine a tweak because I was advised w/c not an exact date. Ordered 24th Feb and told w/c 23rd April - so being on borderline and it possibly being later that week I put less than 3 months (although could have put 2)

Re: Delivery Date

Just had a call from the dealer. My First Edition delivery date has been pushed back from early July to late October at the earliest!! They tell me there are only 12 build slots remaing for 2018... At least it gives you early adopters a chance to iron out any bugs and I’ll be on a ‘68 plate but nei...

Re: Lease or Buy

If you’re looking at that timeframe then I would say buying to be honest. I have leased for the first time. I never keep a car longer than 3 years and was originally going to lease for 2yrs. However the 3yr quote made more viable sense. I went with a 6+35 and worked out the total amount laid out dur...

Re: Apple Car Play

Agree with Alex. Rubbish system that seemingly isn’t being developed for some reason. Not worth paying the extra for. Have it in my current car as didn’t have sat nav. But I hate apple maps with a passion and find CarPlay so buggy. I know the sound quality is better than Bluetooth but I’ll try and r...

Re: Delivery Date

Good to hear. I’d ordered an XC60 r-design from Clive Brook the day before the MY19 changes were announced but the order was blocked on the Monday. Harratts had one changeable build slot left for one coming in at the back end of April so I was genuinely going to order from there. But popped in to di...

Re: Delivery Date

How do you track these anyway - are they via email? I've emailed my dealer this afternoon as the last time we spoke (3 weeks ago) all was OK and the car is 'supposedly' due in just over 3 weeks. My updates are direct from the dealer, he has kept me informed of progress all the way from our first co...

Re: Delivery Date

Senwar, if you mean Wakey and I, for my part its via conversations with my dealer. They've been actively contacting me since they became aware that car had been built, although it does seem to be a bit of an art, as they don't seem to know quite where the vehicle actually is, but can make reasonabl...

Re: Delivery Date

There's the FE MY18.5 as well? I sorta discounted that, as it was only available for a very short time and with a spec that seemed rather, shall we say, variable. To be honest, I think that's the one that's leading to confusion as well. I can see this potentially being problematic at resale time. N...

Re: Delivery Date

Hi Guys. I ordered my XC40 early feb and now the dealer has put my delivery back to the first week of June. Getting really frustrated here. I just don’t understand why it’s taking so long to produce. Based on your sig I would expect this to be something to do with the wheels? I ordered 23rd Februar...
