7 months is a joke even with a delay in parts

Interesting how varied the delivery expectations are getting reset st this week

Was told yesterday by dealer that I won't have any kind of date come up on the system on my March 1st order until end of June ("week 26"). Shortage of engines. Others were starting to get dates coming up on the system but not necessarily good one's. I think if you get one at the moment, (generally) you've dropped lucky on a specific spec or are a pre March order. Long delays for the majority appears to be the current norm.

Ordered an R-Design D3 (fairly standard other than front parking sensors and Apple car play) first week of February and initially told end of May / start of June. Know more uncertain, Marshall’s in Leeds telling me they don’t know and they were sitting down (presumably conf call) with Volvo this week to discuss as they have a huge number of XC40’s on extended order times. No further word from the dealer, have chased. Need to have car by June / July 😬 ....kindve wish I hadn’t looked on here haha, thinking the worst now!

I was also told by my dealership that one of the reasons for the shortages is a shortage of Petrol engines, apparently they are struggling to make them quick enough.

Think they are struggling to make most things quick enough. Mine is D3 i.e. a diesel so shortages on petrol and diesel engines.

Just got off the phone woth dealer at Marshalls Volvo , he confirmed that our order from Jan/Feb wouldnt be completed until October now. They had a call with Volvo’s production team who said unexpectedly reopening the orders for First Edition cars meant all the engines and R Design parts have been used up now.

Was really excited for the car (first new car ive ever bought) but will have to cancel the order i think. He said a fair few others were doing the same.

Really dissapointing.
