Delivery time - what's yours?

Ordered my D4 XS from an internet broker (they have great feedback and the car comes from a LR dealer, so they seem reliable enough) and they reckon 16 weeks on Discoverys - how does this compare with other January orders? I seem to recall seeing others on here order in Jan and have March deliveries - mine'll be mid-May.

I'm not massively worried about the delivery date as I want to get through this winter in my old car, but of course once the thing's ordered you start getting impatient!

PS Do LR do a mid-year update to specs? Volvo seem to do "MY13.5" around about April, which sometimes makes a difference to spec.

I ordered by XS on 3rd January with an expected delivery of 2nd April.

I'm too getting impatient

Think that's 13 weeks? My chap hasn't guven me a "build slot" like I got when I ordered my Volvo, but says he'll know when it's being built 2or 3 weeks before delivery.

I'm the same, I'm too impatient, that's generally why I buy one off the forcourt, plus I would be too nervous driving a brand new vehicle, prefer one that already has its first stone chip on it, and someone else has paid the depreciation.

Local dealer had a demo that nearly had the right spec, but there were a couple of minor problems with it:

1. It wasn't quite right (no tow bar, one or two extra bits and bobs), so with my minor OCD about having cars exactly as I want them means there'd be a bit of extra expense.
2. It won't be MY13 so there's one or two things that a brand new one has that it doesn't, and to get a MY13 demo then I'd be waiting til April/May anyway.
3. It's the same price as I'm paying for a brand new one (admittedly pre-haggling).

I agree with you andy, if you want a specific spec/colour etc you would probably struggle to find it on the forcourt, I don't envy your wait, but when it arrives you will have the biggest smile ever ! Thumbs Up

I've seen several people say that their car turned up a month before the original date, but i was wondering when they found it was coming early.

The reason I'm interested is I probably want to at least try to sell my current car privately, and whilst I'm happy to hire/borrow the wife's/cycle for a few weeks, I would like some certainty that it's going to arrive. I read some horror stories a couple of years ago about Skoda Yetis and Hyundai i35s being promised in three months and taking a year to arrive!

That's quick! Did the dealer have an allocated build slot already?

Anyone know how long it is from build to delivery, btw?

Ordered my HSE Luxury, in Fuji with black design pack on 28th Jan, got a message from dealer last week that it will be built this week, and I will take delivery week after next.

Can't wait 8)
