Sick of waiting

Good news. When did you sign your contract?

21 March 2023

21 March 2023

Tks, I signed a little over 5 weeks later than you so gives me some more time frame info. Though anything but an exact science with IA.

 

[Trialmaster]

Told mine was in Transit on the 26th April - update to say will be at the agent on 25th May. A month to move from Hambach. Then how long before I get my hands on it. VIN 1170.

I signed my contract on the 10 November 2022. Just asked INEOS, why is this so painful, as clearly there are VIP's in the system. Really PISSED OFF to be honest.

Don’t take my case as a reference. I had ordered for the first time in July 22, then IA delivered a car in the wrong colour and with the wrong motor in March 23 so that I had to re-order with the promise of priority. My dealer said, orders taken now have an estimated delivery in Nov 24…

I've waited since November and still don't have it, so would expect 2024 at the earliest.

BTW, why should anyone have priority?

Interesting. I ordered May 22.

Yep. No logic whatsoever.

I‘m with you when it comes to „VIP“. In my case I find it justified (and would do so for anyone else). Otherwise I would have to wait until autumn 2024 now even though my car would have been ready this spring if IA hadn’t screwed it up.

Had to post on this thread as ive been reading it for ages, a lurker i guess. My car has finally been delivered to my dealer in gerrards cross and went to see it today and am very pleased the thing is a tank/5 seater station wagon, looks mean in inky black and the 18 inch alloys really set it off will be great on the school run!! Which it will be used for as i now have to do the school run, plan to pick it up next Friday. I dont think people will have to wait long now as theyre just clearing the back log.

I will have had mine for 2 weeks tomorrow - love it but the Ineos website says that it is still in Transit!

Still no change on mine

Almost not sick of waiting here he is at Harwoods Portsmouth. All being well we collect middle of next week View attachment 7811171

It looks almost like mine. I wish you and everyone else that you get your vehicles soon!

Mine is still in production. I didn't know INEOS called my garage "Production".

I signed my contract two days before you and my VIN has now been given as 3126.

I was told it had actually been built and was in batch and hold prior to getting my contract. That either turned out to be an untruth or adds to your theory that it was taken off me and some VIP got it.

I am now sat waiting as it has been in transit about 3 weeks prior to the VIN being allocated. Perhaps they are adding the VINS on the ship coming to the UK

Shaky - WOW. I totally understand your frustration. You should have your vehicle by now. I reckon you and I will see our vehicles around the same time. Yours will be newer though.

 

[EDWARDO]

Yeah can see peoples frustrations as if youve been told your new cars coming and you get rid of a lease car or sold yours and then your stuck with no car, i did say this to the dealer and he agreed. Luckily i had a cheap lease deal and extended it fully expecting a protracted wait but not everyone could do that. Im hoping its worth the wait as its my first real 4x4, did test drive a defender 20 years ago but hated the clutch (heavy) as i used to commute on the m25 and couldnt cope with the stop start in it, luckily dont commute now, especially at 20 to the gallon, although i reckon it maybe better than expected.

You were wise not to buy a defender 20 years ago, sat in constant traffic stop starting in one of them would be my idea of purgatory.

There have been a few on here caught with getting rid of vehicles only to find they are now in the lurch through no fault of their own in many cases.

I hope you are right with the MPG, I think there are a few who are getting better results already.

If it’s as factual as that then I won’t be watching video.

I often wonder where some of these people get their facts from, I have seen loads of stuff passed of as fact, when indeed most of it is urban myth and old wives tales.
