Ordered a HS Exclusive DCT for the wife on 3rd March, we were told the lead time was the end of April. Within a month this changed to early July, then October/November. By the end of May we’d been told there was no build date and the worst case scenario would be Spring 2023. Upto now this hasn’t changed and the last contact we had was about three weeks ago, although they’re now saying it could be the end of the year (I’m sceptical).
The order was placed through a leasing company and I’m a bit concerned that any orders through third party companies will be on the back burner as MG will want to supply their own dealerships first. I myself have been waiting on a Ford (also via lease) since March and this has now been pushed back to January/February, yet main dealers are quoting December for new orders on the same car.
I can’t fault the lease company whatsoever, they’ve been in regular contact with us each month to let us know what’s going on. Just want to know when it’s going to happen as at the moment there’s no scheduled build date and it could likely go past 12 months from the date of order.
