Mine is now on status 193 which means it’s arrived in the UK. The dealer is saying as soon as it arrives they will arrange collection. I requested that I collect in March so that it’s a ’24’ plate. But they insist they can’t store it for insurance purposes. This is very strange as I’ve had other dealers store cars in the past for 2 weeks. This is just a matter of days. It would be a shame to receive a ’73’ plate for the sake of a few days. I’ve really had a rough time with this particular dealer as I’ve had no communication and when they took my order they promised a build slot for November delivery. They also couldn’t change my order to a M-Sport.
Yes it does sound as though you have a poor dealer (or salesperson). Our current BMW arrived at the dealer at the back end of July and they offered to keep it until September if we wanted the 71 reg. I was so desperate to get rid of the Tiguan we had at the time I said I’d take it on the first day they could let me have it – so a 21 reg it was ?
