Order update...

Ordered Pure SD4 auto early July and initial delivery was estimated end February. Just heard that's been bought forward to early November so better off by 3 months. Early Christmas present potentially woo hoo....Very Happy

RE: Order update...

Hmm, wow what a nice surprise, congrats Smile.

I also ordered early July, on the contract it says December or January (but no guarantee for it, of course Wink)

My Audi Dealer told me that cars that have a huge amount of extras will arrive often later, because most of the optional parts are in a "delivery in time" status. P.S. Cars with a big amount of options, like my order, are called Christmas Trees Very Happy

Can anyone confirm this for LR?

Ordered: 04.07.12
Build Date: 30.10.12
Day of collection: 28.11.12 ( the wait is almost overVery Happy)


Car Spec: 5d,OG,dynamic,Black Roof, fully loaded

I don't know for sure, but I'd be surprised. As you say, a lot of manufacturers run a 'Just in Time' logistics system to keep the stock holdings to a minimum, but if the system works properly there still shouldn't be any delays (hence the name!), irresepctive of how many extras you order, everything should be there ready for the build date. Given the large amount of Evoques being built at the moment, I wouldn't expect any optional item to be a special order.

The only problem is when there's any delay from a supplier, as the manufacturer won't tend to hold any surplus stock so I guess the more extras you order the greater the likelihood is of something getting delayed, but as I say, if everything in the supply chain is working OK then it shouldn't make any difference what you order.

RE: Order update...

Earlier this week I got my build date of 12 Oct from my dealer (order placed first half of July), but dealer also told me that LR had told them to expect actual builds dates to be earlier than the allocated dates, so all looking good!

Asked my dealer today for the first time when he expects me to get a build date.

He couldn't give me one but told me to expect delivery for end of nov early dec....

Order placed last week of July.
