Tracking build and delivery of new car.
Field Marshal Dr. Opti:
It's 2 months (19th May) since I paid a £1000 deposit to secure my new car. I actually wanted a used model but the price for these is currently anywhere between £3000-£12000 more than a new one. It's crazy at the moment. :-X
Anyway, I contacted the dealer to ask how the build was progressing but the only information was " We think some time around December, can't tell you any more at the moment I'm afraid." :-\
It's 2022, surely there is a way to track the build date and delivery.
The car is being assembled in Mexico so I can only assume the workers are fast asleep under a sombrero for 23 hours each day. >:D

Roughly translated, the dealer CBA to check with manufacturer ;D
Though with the shortages, production date estimates are as accurate as a Jag trip computer,...
Doctor Gollum:
By the time they remember what colour you ordered, the used ones will be affordable :D

Yes. My thoughts.
Apparently the wide-boy salesman I did the paperwork with is on holiday. I'm guessing the sales manager couldn't be arsed to check thoroughly.
TB....perhaps you could start your cull with a few car dealers. The world won't miss them. :)

I have provisionally ordered 'Thundernight' ( because Mrs Opti likes it) but I'm not sure if it is a bit too much of a 'in yer face' colour. ;D
Looks like I'll have plenty of time to reconsider.
