Build dates....

Since ordering my Evoque in November, I have been regularly assured by my dealer that I will have it by the end of June. I have not yet had a build date however and see that some people are now getting such dates for June. If my dealer is telling the truth, when should I be receiving my build date? Now? Or might it still be a few weeks off?

Thanks as always for your help!

RE: Build dates....

As above... But I dont think I would be expecting a build date just yet for a June delivery.... end of April/May I would imagine.

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).
Collected, Friday 13th Shocked April 2012

I ordered mine on the 6th Nov, and I have been given a build date of 16th May, and delivery about the 26th May and about a week after that for collection, so you should have a build date by now, go and hassle them to see what is in the holding pool

On order, delivery May 2012 Fuji White SD4 Man, Tech Pack, Privacy Glass, Pano roof, Fogs, Lux Mats, power tailgate, puddle lamps, Auto dimming rear view mirror, 19" Style 4: Mud flaps: Xenons, rear camera: Dog Guard by Travall: Boot Liner. Delivered 29/05/12

RE: Build dates....

I ordered mine first week November, and told June for delivery. As it has ended up, will collect from dealer Saturday. Was only given a build date at the start of March, and probably wouldnt have been given that if I hadnt had another reason to talk to the sales guy.

Thanks Caroline, just wish it was the same for some other forum members on here - they seem to have been waiting for a lifetime!

Build dates....

Interestingly I had an email from dealer yesterday to ask if I would be able to take delivery in May IF (and apparently is a big if) they were able to sort for then. As it happens, I don't want delivery until June as my current car isn't due to go back until then and don't want to be paying for 2 cars!! Upon questioning though, apparently I still don't have a build date..... So no idea what is going on. If there is a chance of May then I would hope June is a cert!!!

That would be true if the one you get in June is the same build slot. If they've got a 'spare' slot in May (a cancellation perhaps?) and they sell that car to someone else, it might have no effect on your June build slot/delivery either way. Maybe you could ask them if they would hold on to the May built one until you collect it in June - if they won't, that would suggest it's not the same car.
