Just wanted to say hello and thanks for all the information in this forum.

It was great for answering a lot of practical questions after test driving the R-design T5 and D4 models amd hearing from people actually driving the car rather than the sales pitch.

Just ordered a T5 R-design Pro in Bursting blue with an expected delivery date the end of November - now can someone get the government to get their act together as I don't want any surprises if Brexit does happen the end of October. :D

Congratulations! You’ll love it! You can ask your dealer to check with Volvo UK if they can prioritise your delivery that way it might arrive earlier.

That's quite a long delivery time. Mine was at the dealers 9 weeks from order. Is there a holiday shutdown during your delivery period?

Yes they have a factory shutdown about to start according to the dealership. That's adding about a month on to the delivery times

Got a message back saying 'I will also see what I can do regarding speeding up your order too.' Thanks for the tip

Hey mate, just FYI i ordered two weeks before you (end of June) and was initially given a late October - early November quote.
In the meanwhile they called saying it's now early September. No exact date but they said within first half

After waiting a couple of weeks I decided to contact the dealership again and the delivery date is still the end of Nov.

They never tried to see if this could be speed up but with a hard Brexit looming they may not get a sale and I will be getting my deposit back.

To be honest if it was not so close to me I would have used a different dealership.
