Order in - what next? - Daigriff - 23-05-2011 08:09pm
Hello all
Deposit paid last October, put order in about a month ago for 5 door SD4 Pure with about 4.5k of extras. However have had no confirmation of order in writing (should I get spec printout?), no build number or anticipated build date...or anything.
Is this the norm? What has everyone else received?
Was hoping for october delivery. Its just that a number of people on here seem to know a lot more about their order than I do...build number and date etc.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Daigriff, welcome to the forum. I'm suprised you haven't had any confirmation of your order yet. After I placed my order (which I did via emails to my dealer) I was sent 2 copies of the order, one of which I needed to sign and send back to them. There was no build date on the order, just a very rough delivery date of 31st December, but the spec was fully detailed.
For your own peace of mind I think you need to chase that up with your dealer.

Thanks for the reply Paulus.
I went in and signed the order form at the dealership after discussing all the options with salesman...but cant recall getting a copy for myself. ..will ring tomorrow.
Im sure everything is fine but it would be nice to know when its due to be built and anticipated delivery date as I was lead to believe that I was one of the first deposits at dealership.

If you were the one of the very first to pay a deposit, then you should definately get your car in October as that is the first scheduled delivery date for the Pure SD4 - you lucky dog
Would certainly push your dealer for something in writing though.

I originally placed my order Jan 2010 and then went into the showroom on the first day of ordering (04/04) to specify my vehicle (Pure, SD4 auto... ). I never received an "order form" at the time, but was told a form would be processed and sent to me for signing. After harassing the dealer, its turns out that they are not taking orders (or processing paperwork) for Pure until Aug/Sept, with delivery Dec/Jan. Since then I have changed to a Prestige, signed the order form within 2days and been given a delivery date of 29/09.

That's odd, I'm positive that the first build of the Pure SD4 is scheduled for deliveries in October, haven't heard of any problems either so could just be your dealer...

I thought that also.... First build of Pure is October. Then again, nothing useful from the dealer regarding build slots etc for a while. I thought that once they had my £1k I would be kept informed. How silly of me. After all, I have never purchased a £70k Range Rover from them before, so what do they care about me.....?
Tempted to sack it all off and get my grand back.

I'm a bit disappointed with the dealer too, Urban. I've e mailed them over a week ago with a spec change and haven't had a reply yet - maybe I expect too much because at the moment I'm with Lexus whose customer care is first class
