<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi Keith</p> Ordered my ultimate last week in October – I have my VIN and is meant to be with me before end of July. So that is 9 months – so it is not a new thing – most manufactures appear to be similar or in many cases worse. I don’t know if you are a Motability customer but it has also impacted choice and price over the last 3 quarters.
Its interesting that Chris who ordered in January is looking at delivery in a week, whereas your October order will arrive a little later, a 3 month difference in lead times. As Sir Humphrey once said, some cars that were ordered before others must wait until cars ordered after have been delivered, or something like that. I think two key factors at play here are build slot availability and colour/interior choice. Does seem Hyundai have sorted the chip problem as there seems to be a “glut” of boats arriving at Tilbury. Finally a quick observation that this thread is approaching 800 posts making it one of the most popular of all time, and a very diverse thread, with discussions about battery choices, trim, colour and a lot of really useful information about shipping and logistics in general.
