Delivery Date
Prompted my dealer for an update today. My FE is in the UK awaiting transportation to the dealer. A week earlier than expected. There is a small possibility I’ll be able to collect it next weekend. After such a long wait I thought I would be a bit more excited at the prospect of finally picking it up but have to say I’m finding it hard. Maybe I’ll feel the fizz once I’m behind the wheel...
XC40 | First Edition | 2.0 D4 AWD | Bursting Blue | 19" wheels | Ordered 11/03/18 | Delivered 19th October 2018.
I know where you are coming from, I feel pretty much the same. I got a bit of a buzz when I saw it in the dealers compound, but finding it hard to get excited about.Rifleman wrote: ↑Mon Oct 08, 2018 5:55 pm Prompted my dealer for an update today.

My dealer called yesterday to say my car was in the UK, pretty much on schedule. Should be with them Friday, and ready for me to collect on Monday. I'm like a bairn waiting for Christmas Day.

Ok Thank you
Indeed, I was asking because these particular options i chose can lead to significant delays of weeks/months.

I ordered my car in March.
It was manufactured on 12th of September. Now, almost one month after, it still hasn’t arrived.
I chose R-design with almost all equptment except heated rear seats and power front seats.
It was build in time, actually 2 days earlier than expected.
The problem is transport. After almost 4 weeks nobody can tell me where the hell the car is and when it’s arriving.
I was asking them nicely and politely, and dealer’s response was “We don’t know”. Today my father had enough, he is really impatient and this kind of attitude pisses him off. He went to the local Volvo center, demanded boss and later today I was informed, that they are arranging individual delivery, so my car can be ready for me this Friday (in 2 days). Nice behaviour and being polite doesn’t get you anywhere this days...sadly

That’s unbelievable, TinaA, glad to hear you’re getting it soon though.
Can’t see from your profile, are you in UK? (Useful to have that info so we can tell if we’re discussing like-for-like!)

No, I’m from Slovenia.
But it’s approximately the same distance from Volvo factory to Slovenia as it is to London.
I posted this to let everyone see, that even though my car has all the “problematic” parts as heated windshield, seats, LED lights... the problem occurred at different stage.
And of course the attitude of dealers.
