T6.1 new order delays

[Scruffy]

Chased my order today. Given a provisional build of week 17. If that happens then it will be 58 weeks from order. Dealer warned it may get worse due to parts shortage.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

When did you order?

When did you order?

Mid March

Brilliant, I’ve just had the call to say my 150dsg led pure grey high line panel van has arrived in the country, I ordered it in March. Problem is that I also cancelled it in March to order the sportline which I’ve got a build date of 03/22.

That’s good news @Trickle, but WTF, I ordered in the first week of January and still no sign of even a build date.

[Scruffy]

Just had a similar email. Sick to death of this now.

 

[Ricardo T]

It is shambolic… I’ll be retired before it arrives lol!

 

[jamesabell1978]

It does happen in the end, mine finally went into build this week exactly 52 weeks after I placed the order, I am now just hoping it actually gets built and there is not some new shortage that stops it at the last minute.

 

[Trickle]

@Trickle...have you moved this on now?

I haven’t done anything with it yet, I was toying with the idea of keeping it until the sportline arrives but that seems like a lot of hassle. It is a lot of van and I pinned the price down to 36k inc vat.

 

[lenlec]

Good news for once. Mine has been bought forward from may 2022 to next month for some reason ?

 

[MrT]

I’m just grateful that Iv been given a courtesy van until mine arrives now. Ordered in feb been told November but not to bothered now that Iv got the courtesy van.

 

[BGarland]

I have cancelled my order, cant deal with the not knowing and waiting, I will own a transporter one day but for now another Transit custom it is!

 

[Monty1987]
