UncJ and all fellow XC40 sufferers I’ve just received an email from our dealer with an advised build date 😳W/c 14th June and possible delivery July 9th July 😮 Asking what we want to do now 🤷♀️ Ordered 4th Dec so how can it take 6 months to get on the production line? Grrrr
What an absolute joke, a bad one at that!
Dealer told me projected delivery was end of July last week. I think that’s far more realistic than July 9th *if* the car is being supposedly built June 14th. I’ve got no choice but wait really other than find a stock car by another manufacturer and pay a £4K AP which I really don’t want to do on a car that I won’t own.
So, as it stands I’ll wait for now but in the hope Mercedes come back on the scheme and can get a stock GLA quickly. I think I’d have great pleasure telling Volvo where to stick it and cancelling my order if the chance were to arise.
The thing really bugging me, and you I’m sure, is how we don’t even get an explanation from the dealer how, like you said, we’ve waited since the beginning of December with zero updates and no proper apologies from either the dealer or Volvo at the shocking lack of service we’ve had. Bearing in mind the equality act 2010 and how Volvo have handled Motability orders as opposed to retail orders I’d say at the very least there’s serious concern. All we’ve been told pretty much is like it or lump it which stinks! 😡😡
