When do you get a chassis number?

Just following on from my other post, I am a little confused as to when a chassis number is allocated in the build process. My dealer said he could see from the computer system that the body had been pressed and that there wasn't a chassis number yet but he expected early next week at which point it would only be a few of days before it is called over, is this correct?

In a word, yes. The VIN number is allocated quite late in the build process.

My Evoque arrived at the dealership before it showed on TOPIx

RE: When do you get a chassis number?

I didn't get the Chassis number until it was ready to be delivered, after it had been built, but before it got to the dealer.

Ordered June 11, Built - 24th November - Delivered - 7th Dec - NO DELAYS
