Timing is pretty consistent then. I ordered mine 1st week of September. Should be here on the 10th by today's estimate!

M sport, Portimao Blue with the Cognac interior. The genius team is going to hate me. Now I know the car is awaiting dispatch to the dealer.

[Cranester1983]

Nice choice.
Haha don’t harass them too much or they might hold it back for “5 more coats of paint”

I don't suppose any of you have any idea of how long to go from 9650 (ready for collection)?

Feels so near now but the dealership love being vague!

I've seen people go from awaiting dispatch to at the dealer with 3 days. But I guess it's all down to being lucky with the timing. You maybe waiting on their being enough cars ready to go, before the truck heading to your dealer will be sent!

That makes sense. The closer it gets the less patient I'm feeling! I'm hoping the handover will be seamless. It's a company car so I'm relying on the dealer, lease company and our procurement guy pulling their finger out when the car lands.

Mine is also. I am about to send an email to find out if I can collect. Instead of waiting for them to arrange delivery!

I am making the exact same consideration! I've just had an email back from the dealer saying "...as promised, I will let you know once I have a firm delivery date'

They really don't want to commit to anything. The moment the status changes to 'on the way to dealer' I'm calling him again. Right pain.

Mine went awaiting dispatch on a wed night dispatched to dealer at around 11am Thursday and was at the dealer by Thursday night called dealer and got put through to the corporate accounts manager asked them if they could let the lease company know on Friday morning by Friday afternoon I had a delivery date. Hope this helps

I know. Half expecting a message to say “surprise! We’re pleased to say your 1991 Ford Escort Harrier 1.3GLx is now ready for collection” or something 🤣
