New car should soon be here.
« on: 19 April 2023, 12:56:04 »

It is 11 months today (19th May 2022) since I placed my order and left a deposit.

Apparently she is now fully build and is currently in transit between Mexico and Bremerhaven. They can't tell me the name of the ship but they can tell me it will dock in Southampton.

Expected delivery date is 22nd May.

No mention of any price rise. That would piss me off. ::)

Are you still looking forward to its arrival or has the long wait soured the feeling a bit.  :-\

Yes. Looking forward. But I was never one of those people who collected their new car from the dealer at Midnight on 31st July, so it would be on their drive early A.M August 1st  ready for when their neighbours pulled the curtains back.

I don't think any dealers do the midnight collect these days.

I really wanted a used car ( 1-3 years old) but the current batshit crazy prices of used cars means it was actually cheaper to wait for a new one.

Bro is in the market for a 340d but wants ex demo, if only to avoid waiting until he's 50 for it to arrive  ::)

My problem was that the 'nearly new' were more expensive than the 'brand spanking new' due to scarcity.

Now that more cars are reaching the dealers this madness is finally starting to abate.

If a price was agreed the time of the sale then it should be adhered to, unless of course the small print says different.

I found that too . The price difference between new and nearly new was negligible .
Six month waiting time for a new , albeit well spec'd Kodiaq .
Just be grateful that you don't have a 33% Vehicle Registration Tax levy on top of list price ........ >:(

Most manufacturers are prioritising the higher spec (and higher profit) models, so they tend to be delivered faster.

Count yourself lucky that you didn't order, and pay a deposit, on a Tesla:

Maybe, if they knew anything about building cars...
