Beermonster Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 The dealership rang me today and said the build date is 19th June with expected delivery round about 18th July, that's move slightly from what he said when I bought the car, it was 17th build date and delivery w/e 12th July, I have to sign for the finace by the end of June because of the £500 off offer but what I don't want is to start paying for a car that I don't have as once I have signed up there is no insentive for the dealership as they have their sale, with peoples experiance how realistic are these delivery dates?

Beermonster Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Looks like I might have a bit longer to wait then :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irononreverse Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 NOT VERY! I got my expected delivery date as 31st May and guess what, I am still waiting for the car and won't get it until a week on friday 'all being well' x My expected delivery date was the 31st March. Didn't get it til the 29th April though. Mine was apparently the last stock car and any after would be fresh builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jma78b Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 You don't pay for the car till you get it. I got mine in May and I start paying next week so I had over a month of new car without paying for it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beermonster Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Love the name "Beermonster" as I work with a guy we call "Honeymonster".You guys related???? Not that I know of, I used to know someone called Honeymonster but that was back in the 80's when CB's were all the rage :) I rang Ford finace and they told me they have 59 days to play with once you have signed up so that's plenty time if it's going to be late, what ever happened to all those car's in fields that we kept seeing on the news, I take it they are all sold now?

paulworthing Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 what ever happened to all those car's in fields that we kept seeing on the news, I take it they are all sold now? I had one of those 'stockpiled' cars years ago and it had started to rust under the front end within months of me getting it. To be honest I would rather have to wait 13 weeks for mine to be delivered and know that it had been built for me personally - makes it seem so much more special.

Your right, it's much better to be new than start to rust before you get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
