The wait

Hello

Ordered our new car on 10th September (launch-week Saturday) from Lookers in Battersea. An odd day as we went to the Smart(car) festival at Brooklands in our 1995 C-class (3 into a Smart won't go) with a view to looking at a replacement for the C on the way home.

MB were as helpful as a chocolate teapot, and she liked the Cayenne but the wait is very long. I then drove her to Lookers... she'd bought the car before getting in the showroom.

So now we wait: verbally told January, but the order form says 17th Feb. Am a bit disheartened to hear of the long delays some of you are experiencing and have chased Lookers for some clarity!

We (she!) went with the:
5 door Prestige 2.2SD
Ipanema sand with the Tan interior, lux pack, pano roof and privacy glass

Prestige 5dr SD4 auto. Lux pack. Ipanema sand/Spirit. Privacy glass. Ordered 10 Sept, delivered 6 March 2012

RE: The wait

Went to Lookers today and was told they will get it on about 15th March. So I'll get it soon thereafter

They did say that they have orders taken in November on which they cannot get a build slot as yet
