I think I can see it peeping over the rock behind you.
Today is 720 days since my initial deposit ... only 2 sleeps until delivery now
They have bungled something in transport...
This is what happens when you have the Donny Grey
After mine arrived in the country, the dealer sent an email letting me know that they needed payment before the vehicle would be released from customs (in the contact payment is required 2 working days before collection) ... at first it looked like a scam, until a call to the dealer to confirm that Ineos won't release the vehicle from customs without payment ... but they didn't have the indicators to be able to deliver the vehicles, so for the last 3 weeks I've owned a car I don't have and the dealer has others who have paid and been waiting longer.
Maybe they are waiting for a transfer case
not time to be funny but...
Wasn’t the case with mine mate -mine was delivered to the agent, I paid 3 days later, which was this time last week - pickup tomorrow.
This is copied straight from the email I received:
I was not doubting that’s what the agent sent you via email, I was questioning that it is Ineos’s policy to require payment before being released from customs. - it is more likely to be your dealers personal policy.
Many thanks Davman ... according to the agent Inoes wouldn't release the car, but knowing other owners haven't had the same issue, I'll be questioning them about it tomorrow when I collect the car.
The contract we all signed requires funds to be cleared "two days before handover"...
Sound like BS to me as well. Your payment and a customs release or transport have no connection whatsoever.
The other issue delaying delivery, unique to Australia are the side indicators. The round ones that come with every Grenadier in the world are somehow illegal in Australia (certainly in Queensland) with the classification of the vehicle. I have a different style of side indicator (legal to Australia) that the dealer had a 3D printed mould made to fit it to the vehicle as a temporary fix before the formal ones from Grenadier arrived. He was only able to print out a few so I was lucky. He had a few more Grenadiers sitting in his yard that he could not pass on as the transport department would not register them unless the indicator issue was fixed.
