Yeah, having heard from other forum members, it looks like some of us (obviously the less trustworthy ones) have had to pay up-front for cars they can’t deliver due to the indicator issue. Now they are panicking about holding over $100K for so long without delivery, so have had to come up with the work around by 3D printing indicators, which are going to have be replaced with original ones.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.
I’m not sure if other dealers are informing people about this. I assume is is an Australia wide problem, not just in Queensland.
The question is, why have some of us had to pay up front when others are paying on delivery ?
