Gray

    An update on my Sportage, ordered 28th April with a lead time of 12 weeks, it’s week 15 now. It’s a 1.6 petrol, trim level 3, auto, penta gray.At 12 weeks I was told to expect a date with in the next week or so. Because the previous 2 Sportage’s had a production date with delivery on the 8th August, and they had ordered a few days before me.Fast forward to last week, I called the dealer all week and finally got through on Friday afternoon, he said no news yet. And the production and delivery dates for the previous 2 Sportage’s have been deleted from the system, so frustrating for him too, but it still means that I’m 3rd in line with the level 3 trim. He also said that the lead time for new orders is 16 weeks, which is unrealistic, as it’s 16 weeks for me next week and there’s no sign of the car anytime soon. What’s deeply frustrating is that my current non mobility car is due it’s insurance next week, so I’ve had to pay monthly for the insurance in the vain hope that it arrives before the new year, but it’s going to cost about £60 in cancellation fees.  Hopefully it’s tempting fate and will arrive before the insurance starts!!
