New Evoque.

Just been around 3 dealers today for a Evoque Pure all seem to tell me delivery would be October/November yet i read on here people have ordered a few weeks ago with build dates for July,August delivery.are lead time coming down. and they don't know about it.

Don't think lead times are coming down by much at the moment. What you might find is that some Dealers have pre-booked delivery slots in the expectation that they will find customers for them while other Dealers have not and will put in your order when you make it, hence the October/November delivery time you were quoted. Also seem to recall delivery on Pure is longer than it is for Prestige and Dynamic.

Also October/November is possibly going to be MY13 rather than MY12.

Did you manage to get a 1/2 day Experience voucher out of a Dealer on your visits?

No i didn't get offered the 1/2 day experience voucher.going to a couple of other dealer's tomorrow but none could give me a valuation on My Freelander2 as build time is so far away,but either way should have one on order by the weekend.

I got offered a part ex for my Freelander 2 whe. I ordered back end of March. Guaranteed figure although not quie as much as I expected hence why I will try and sell private albeit still at a good price

I too got the driving voucher on the day I ordered which we are doing this Saturday. They also valued my Rav4 but wouldn't commit due to 6 month lead time however all figures were based on worse case scenario of my car being worth 2.5k less to give me an idea of monthly cost. To be fair they gave me fair market value for a 4 yr old car and now my delivery is expected in July rather than October, the new value should be fairly close to the old one

So looking at people who ordered in april they are getting there car's in july so if all go to plan if i order today i should hope to get in September if build's are coming forward. I was giving a rough idea for my 58 GS Freelander of 13500 but was told to expect at least a £800 drop by delivery date,might look into selling private as its a mint car with only 20k miles and loads of extra's on it.

Yup, the dealer will try to screw you over on the trade-in!

The delivery window any dealer quotes you will depend on their honesty and how many orders the dealer has ahead of yours. The factory call-off the orders in batches from the dealer each month - let's say the dealer has 30 outstanding orders - and the factory ask for the next 10 each month then your order won't go in (and have a build date allocated) for 3 or 4 months..........

The trick is to find a dealer who has a short order book and place your order with them...

Thanks for the tip but most dealer are quoting the same,some are saying they have 50+ orders doing 10 a month give it a 5 month wait.
