Hi everyone, I was wondering what your wait times are for your car orders. I ordered a Ford Kuga St Line X Auto Diesel on Sept 21 and haven’t received a build date yet. Was told by dealer it’d be March/April 22 which I’m hopeful it will not be any longer than that. Very hesitant to cancel the order due to current wait times and the fact that Ford has discontinued the Diesel engine (which was the only Kuga available for under 25s at Q4).

Sine April 2nd 2022 for a HEV Sportage
Ordered May last year……was told December 10th for delivery. Still waiting. Car is at a Holding facility 25 miles away but they say There is a waiting time for transportation.
Ordered the car in august 26th 2022, a seat ibiza. was told it could take up to April 2023. Received an update today that it will be expected to arrive in March 2023.
Ordered my Vauxhall MOKKA automatic on 8th April 2022, was told October then December, last week told don’t know. I am annoyed as when ordered there was £445 upfront payment, but that’s now been dropped for new orders. I still have to pay when I eventually get mine

My dealer told me last October my car had been built and might have it by the end of December, December came and went and the dealer said two weeks ago I will get it by the end of January and with less than a week to February that’s looking a bit unlikely too.
I just wished they’d be a bit more precise as normally I fill the car with fuel twice during the Winter months but being so close to delivery I’m only putting a few quids worth in at a time as you can guarantee if I fill it up I would get the call to collect the very next day but suppose its good practice for when I’m forced to go all electric in the future.
@rose skern if the ap has gone down your dealer can change the order to the lower amount easily and it doesnt affect the order with vauxhall its pureley an admin thing. assuming the same car is available now as when you ordered.
May need to create a new post but those who have finally received their vehicles … were they delivered as per the ordered equipment specification or was anything missing?
Hi Robin
What I can make of it private lease hire customers who have taken delivery of the VW Tiguan’s have all been as specified.
What VW did to help through the shortages apart from increasing delivery times was to drop some of the optional extra add-on’s and when they changed from My22 to My23 they never added or took anything away other than increasing the power to the USB ports in My23.
How long does it take to arrive at dealer once arrived at the docks.
Well mines been at sheerness since the 3rd Jan and dealer just says waiting for car carrier.
Mines a 2008 aswell,but mine was one already in compound as it was an unnasigned one,so my dealer requested it as saves waiting potentially 6 months plus from factory.
My son ordered a Toyota AygoX Edge on 26th November. Collected it on Friday 26th. 8 weeks 6 days start to finish.
I’ve been waiting 6 days short of a year for the Vauxhall Mokka. Every time I ring up for an update I get told “the system is down, I’ll call you next week”….they never do!
Just noticed on the motability site it has been updated and says 4-6 month wait. Its becoming a nightmare.
Bit of an update
I rang peugeot who asked me to ring gefco and they said my dealer hadn’t specified if they want gefco to do the pdi or my dealership so that’s why my cars in limbo,so I’ve rang dealer and asked him to sort it out because if I can find that out then so could he.I could of been waiting bloody ages and never have known.
Another update here as well.
Ordered Nov 2021, and is now finally “in transit to the dealership”. So it’s on the truck. Don’t have a handover date just yet, but my guess would be that it can’t take longer than a week or two.

Hi I ordered my car in April last year every new date I get to pick my car up Ford put it back another month, I’m just off the phone to them 30 minutes ago as I was ment to pick it up tomorrow and now the same old story it’s been put back till the 14 February so angry ???
Hi can some of you guys name the Make and model of car you have been waiting for as we know some makes and dealers are better than others.
@Ann whyte
Much the same here Ann, ordered mid October 2021, the year before last I have to say because I have to remind myself it is the year before last and not last year.
Anyway I digress, had a phone call in mid October 22, that’s last year, saying the cars been built so 1 year almost to the day to get the car built. Now here we are over yet another 3 months passed and still no car. I asked the dealer the first week of this year where the car is as they said it’s been built only to be told they haven’t actually seen the car but should be with me by the end of January, that’s this year just in case your losing track like me and here we are in February.
Although the waiting is a pita its being told the car is more or less almost here but not arriving but honest its almost here by the end of December, January or February.
Just tell the truth that’s all we need to hear though that’s easy for me to say already having a suitable car but I hate the not knowing that is worst than the waiting.
@on the spectrum
Don’t bother with anything from the Volkswagen Automobile Group, VW, Seat, Skoda and Audi.
Just an update after writing my piece above this morning and it starting to play on my nerves.
I wrote an e-mail to my dealer saying that I’m truly peeved off with the lack of location of my car or even if it exists as for all I know it could still be in the spare bits box at Wolfsburg.
They came back to me within minutes to tell I will be driving the car within the next two weeks for sure.
Fingers crossed its for sure this time.
I ordered my new kia sportage last April for a July delivery and I am still waiting. And nobody will answer me as to why its so long.to start with it was said to be 3 to 6 month delay now it says it can be 9 months well I am into my tenth month.its just frustrating that nobody will, give you a straight answer.

Fingers crossed for sure, as a fellow VW “victim” i can relate.
If everything goes well, we’ll be driving our GTE off the dealership next week too. I think our header in the email conversation tells it all, lol.
Danielle certainly earned her wage with us lol.
