Current lead and delivery times

Postby CRM » Fri Feb 19, 2021 7:26 pm

Does anyone know a realistic time frame between build date and actual UK delivery ?
My dealer indicated as little as 3 weeks, sounds a bit quick to me and i would have expected post brexit a bit of a delay on things.

Loads of variables, pre ordered for stock can often be changed to speed up a delivery, fairly standard l specs can often be brought in from other dealers, full bespoke order, build and delivery can be 12weeks plus.

Apparently there’s a big covid / brexit backlog.

The broker dealing with mine says there are 1000’s of vehicles sat at the docks.

perhaps i should have made it clearer.
Order went in back in November with a early Feb build date.
So the question is assuming it was actually built last week, how long before it hits the dealer ?
This was a factory order of a sport in black with twin side doors and single passenger seat and a few other bits

Ordered in August, built in September

Delivered late January

However, I optioned extras (dual sliding doors, tailgate etc).

That and I also live in Australia.

Ask the dealer! They have access to the info that you want.

From what we see posted here, brokers are lying gits. Broker sales are regularly a month or so longer than Ford dealer sales, but hey, you’re getting it cheap :mrgreen:

Well he said 5-6 weeks from now. So maybe 2 months?

Fingers crossed.

I was told a factory build submitted mid January would be ready April or early May but he also said take that with a pinch of salt.

I've been quoted 4 moths of other dealers too.

Due to arrive next week at the dealers.
Not too bad for a factory order placed at the beginning of December.
we will see if that date slips, but apparently it has left Turkey over a week ago.

And now apparently held in Antwerp - so that means stuck in a queue of VAT wrangling no doubt

Hi. How long was it before it turned up from Antwerp. ??
I’ve been waiting for 8 weeks from the original ETA and last heard it was in Antwerp about 4 weeks ago.

Mine never came. Got a Citroen relay “driver” now.

Not the same as a transit. But a third less in cost.
