Yep. Another newbie!

Ordered yesterday with a build date of 5th Nov. Just shows how the queue is growing. The Evoque is due back at the start of October so will have to extend the lease.

Any idea on time from build to delivery at dealership?

Congrats - good decision.

Assuming you are in the UK it looks to be circa 7-10 days, plus and minus that (for whatever reason they can come up with), and depending on how long your dealer takes to PDI it.

Thanks all! Yes, I'm in the UK. They did say the build date might be brought forward but having read delivery comments on the forum, I'm not holding my breath.

I think you made a great choice. I was looking at the Evoque and Jag E Pace, the Evoque I think is just starting to look like it needs a facelift which it gets next year and the Jag seemed pricey to me for what it was so my order went straight to the new XC40.
