Transit production

Postby MalBull » Tue Sep 28, 2021 10:02 am

We’re looking to replace out old Transit with a new one but 6 months after we ordered it we still don’t even
have a date. Looks like Transit production has been stopped for 5 months already and no restart in sight. Does anyone have any details / insights?

Thanks in advance - Mal

Think it’s global thing down to the pandemic, and chip shortages. I read last night that any MAN TGE orders placed now are 2023 delivery!

I'd suggest that you ask what they have in stock with a view to buying one of those. The prices will rocket once they start coming through.

Stock ran out in Feb. New prices remain static with 3yo /100,000km one selling for Way more than new here in Aussie.

Thanks- that’s more than we’re getting. All Ive got for 5 months is “no news sorry”. When did you order?

Cheers

I'd take his comments with a pinch of salt Mal, he changes his mind with the wind and regularly gets enforced holidays from the forum :wink:
