Build dates.... - Rossy100 - 19-03-2012 09:50pm
Since ordering my Evoque in November, I have been regularly assured by my dealer that I will have it by the end of June. I have not yet had a build date however and see that some people are now getting such dates for June. If my dealer is telling the truth, when should I be receiving my build date? Now? Or might it still be a few weeks off?
Thanks as always for your help!

Who knows, there seems loads of variables at play.

As above... But I dont think I would be expecting a build date just yet for a June delivery.... end of April/May I would imagine.

I ordered mine first week November, and told June for delivery. As it has ended up, will collect from dealer Saturday. Was only given a build date at the start of March, and probably wouldnt have been given that if I hadnt had another reason to talk to the sales guy.

Thanks Caroline, just wish it was the same for some other forum members on here - they seem to have been waiting for a lifetime!

Interestingly I had an email from dealer yesterday to ask if I would be able to take delivery in May IF (and apparently is a big if) they were able to sort for then. As it happens, I don't want delivery until June as my current car isn't due to go back until then and don't want to be paying for 2 cars!! Upon questioning though, apparently I still don't have a build date..... So no idea what is going on. If there is a chance of May then I would hope June is a cert!!!

That would be true if the one you get in June is the same build slot. If they've got a 'spare' slot in May (a cancellation perhaps?) and they sell that car to someone else, it might have no effect on your June build slot/delivery either way. Maybe you could ask them if they would hold on to the May built one until you collect it in June - if they won't, that would suggest it's not the same car.
