@Monty1987 yes it was part of a dealer order , I did get my van Oct 21 but had accident in it and was deemed total loss, they had ordered few at same time and had offered me one from that allocation , hopefully this one will last me longer than 3 months

 

[Monty1987]

New here - if useful, I ordered a new Transporter LWB Hi Roof panel van, end Aug 2021 for delivery end Feb (confirmed last week)

I picked up my van two weeks ago (ordered end August 2021, delivered 7 April) - after end of financial year but price promised, so saved about £1300... happy

That’s a bummer, I’d prob ask if I could drive away at it until repairs are arranged or replacement tail gate

The orders really are all over the place, ordered my Sportline April 21, i was told by the dealer to expect it Dec 21, then March 22 now May 22 but again I'm expecting to be let down again no doubt.

I think I must of jinxed it... literally just had the call from my dealer, build week now pushed back to week 26. Oh well I guess that NC500 trip at the end of June will have to wait!

At least your dealer keeps you up to date. Heard nothing from mine

Oh no they don't, that call was after me sending my 5th email because no one was getting back to me.. My dealer is shocking too!

I'm not trying to excuse dealers, but I feel like they balk at giving bad news and, at the moment, bad news is all that's on offer.

I've sat their side of the desk for 16 years before a career change so I know exactly how they feel but the best sales execs should be delivering news to their customers on a consistent bases whether that's good or bad news but just to ignore a customer after a number of calls and emails is unacceptable.

You've got no arguments from me fella - it's certainly not the best approach.

I had good conversation with the guy he admitted how tough it's been for them. I guess I was lucky exiting the industry before all these delays started.
