Seems like you should be called "Lucky".
Congrats (but sad for the person who has given it up).
Delivery Date
That's great news and puts you back closer to your original date too.Optimist wrote: ↑Mon Apr 16, 2018 12:03 pmOptimist wrote: ↑Sat Apr 14, 2018 7:08 am Told yesterday that my First Edition has been put back to October from its original date of mid May. The dealer also said that Volvo had told them that they had run out of spares for the Rdesign but Volvo wouldnt say which spares.
This is my first Volvo and not too impressed although I guess its the new reg.
Just had a call from the garage.
They have had a cancelation of a car so they asked if I wanted it...I said yes....
Same spec but it now includes the headlight washers and 20" wheels.
New delivery date 27/28th May

I'm afraid I'm in this club too!!
Ordered on the 28th of Feb and originally told to expect delivery by mid May, have now been told possibly July! Dealer was supposed to call me today to confirm... not a squeak out of them all day.

FE D4 Crystal White 20" Alloys
I got a call saying they still believe all First Editions will be delivered by June.
I'm sceptical so I did look at an Audi Q2 yesterday which is £10k less and got all the bits. Still rather have an xc40.

T5 White - 19 inchers for sanity not vanity
I’m sceptical on that too. If the FE had special badging or some components that made it unique I might believe them but the FE is just an R-Design Pro with option boxes ticked. I’m more inclined to believe it’s one or more of those options common to all FEs that are in shortage and they will prioritise those configurations that they do have the parts for. I know that leather/nubuck has been in short supply with another manufacturer...
XC40 | First Edition | 2.0 D4 AWD | Bursting Blue | 19" wheels | Ordered 11/03/18 | Delivered 19th October 2018.
Wise decision. £10k less? Just configured a Q2 with all the bells and whistles of an XC40 FE, and it came to almost £43k.
Two XC40s - so far! Inscription Pro T5 AWD Auto - Glacier Silver/Blond/21”, fully loaded, from Jan thro Sep 2021. Polestarred. Also one of the first FEs - a D4 AWD Auto - Bursting Blue/Charcoal/20" from Mar thro Aug 2018. Also Polestarred.
I was on the verge of ordering a Q2, then test drove the XC40 and was in a massive dilemma for a few days! After discussion with the Volvo dealer and hearing that the First Edition window had been reopened for a few days, that swung me straight to the ‘40. Much more kit for lower monthly cost, just a shame the delivery delays are putting a bit of a dampener on the experience!
