Where o where can my Evoque be???

Hi Guys,

My very first post on the forum is a bit of a whinge, but I dont think that anyone else will understand my frustrations quite like you guys will!

I ordered my Evoque, last year - 27th December to be exact, from Guy Salmon in Coventry. Pure Tech, OG, Pano Roof, Privacy Glass etc etc (the list goes on) and then I wait patiently - with a proposed build date of 1st June.

Anyway - the great news is that the build date moved to end of May, the car was built and then went into "holding" whatever that means, for over a week. Now the car is "being delivered to the dealer, but has not yet landed" as they keep telling me.

I was supposed to pick up last week, now they're telling me its next week, and no one seems to even know where the car is...

Did anyone else have experiences like this - and do any of you know how I can find out when I actually might get the car - (where it actually is?? just feeling a bit in limbo at the moment..

Rant over

It's possible your car was built and then got stopped for a QA check error or needed to held back for an updated component to be replaced. It happens and its better it gets fixed before you take delivery.

Mine got delayed by nearly a week due to transport difficulties (Guy Salmon in Stratford-upon- Avon), it's perfectly possible that yours is just in transit right now - I have read that the factory is closed this week so if your car hasn't been collected from there then that could be your answer?

Welcome krissiejane....it takes approx 10 to 14 days from completion through to the dealer and I would think the Jubilee has added a couple of extra days as well. After QC etc the cars are collated and grouped for despatch to the dealers so I would think yours is in the distribution network somewhere. And they do suddenly turn up - unannounced, at the dealers as mine did! So I think yours will be there next week so you will need to be patient for a few more days!

My car was being taken off the transporter but according to LR it was still at the factory. So your car could be anywhere.

S'funny but I ordered in November from GS in Coventry ad was given a build date of 18th May and an expected delivery date of 15th June. I have not yet contacted them (restrained, I know) but I have not heard a dicky bird from them either.

Yours and mine may well end up being on the same transporter by the sound of things, so if you do get yours soon, please let me know! I'll do the same if I get mine.

Good luck.

Thanks guys!

Fujisan - I had a call from the Dealer literally an hour or so after my posting to say that its arrived, and Im now planning to pick it up on Friday - so excited!! Thanks again though...

Right, that's me on the phone tomorrow then!

Well done krissiejane, ask them if they have a Fuji Pure of mine lying around awaiting delivery

I would get on the phone FujiSan..! Maybe ill see you on Friday!

I got mine from Coventry, they didnt call unless there was news, but called whenever there was something and kept me updated through the early delays, just had a 6th month courtesy call too! Worth ringing FujiSan.

Enjoy yours KrissieJane!
