It took them about five days for the portal to say “payment received “ and two full weeks for me to get an email confirmation. In my case, I paid on the 28th of March and the most important bit still hasn’t happened..
Pardon my French, but f**k that. Is that what normally happens witha vehicle purchase with you guys? In Oz you hand over the cash (or bank chq or transfer) and drive out the door.

Bought a used M5 last week, paid on the day of collection. Bought a new Type R on March 1st, paid on the day of collection. I will only pay for this vehicle once I have seen it and it is fit for the road.

I paid yesterday and had a call today to offer a cancellation slot tomorrow morning 0730 hrs for a major stomach operation that I’ve been waiting a few months for. Looks my wife is going to be driving the Grenadier before me 😩😤🤬

It’s the last one of three operations overall to fix complications from Bilhartzia amongst other things. Should all be good after quite a long recovery. Hoping to ship the Grenadier to Cape Town in late summer/ september for extended Southern Africa travels. So going in tomorrow means more time to recover. All looking good and the plan coming together. 😎👍🏼

Good luck, get it done, and then go for a bloody drive and tell us allabout it!!!

Or if the missus can tell us, that’s fine to, as long as we get feedback! 😉

Oh, and get well soon.

I’m very trusting….! to be honest it’s not common practice but it’s the Ineos way apparently.

We’d planned to use the yet to be delivered Gren to Belgium for Easter when it arrived at the dealer in early February…. I’m pretty sure we’ll get it before Christmas.

When specifying delivery in a month or seasons on this forum I think it should be protocol to clarify the year to which you aspire. 🤣

YES - but I am not paying months in weeks in advance. That would be stupid. I need to see the actual vehicle first.

Free world, we all can do as we think fit.
