It’s the same in the VW forums about the delays and the countless excuses with the manufacturers saying nothing and telling you to go to your dealer for information and the dealer telling us there not getting any information from the manufactures. As things stand I believe the dealer more than the manufacturer.
I’ve not seen anything to suggest that private leasers or buyers are getting any faster deliveries or queue jumping ahead of Motability customers and I keep a very keen eye on that subject. The only time you will see queue jumping is a private punter walks into the dealer just at the right time and gets a quick delivery from a cancelled order but that is rare.
