The Longest wait

[JohnP]

Ordered mine in April and has just gone 'in transit'. If its 4-6 weeks till I get the car that will make it between 26 and 28 weeks!! Horrendous!

Ordered mine 2nd May. BW35 and still stuck "In Transit it will take 3 weeks"

Chin up, mine was 9 days from going in to transit and sitting at the dealers, don't pick up until Monday though due to replacement of damaged side skirt

Hi ordered 2nd April built week 37 dealer said up to 11 boats leaving Germany today if not on one of these next boats leave 6th October.

Just been told at last minute mine will be delayed a further 3 weeks due to factory part shortage as was expecting it mid October, so if arrives on new date then it will be 25 ish weeks

Is this with a confirmed build date?  Did they say what parts there was a shortage of?

Thought the whole point of having a confirmed build date would be that they would have the parts etc required for your build at that time...

We haven't waited that long as the dealer found a cancelled order we could have, but it's BW 39 22.9.13 and we've been told delivery end Oct or early Nov. so if the info you've been given is correct (mid Nov) then we're being fobbed off

I am unsure if I beat you all by saying I ordered last week of march and still no idea of delivery or transit.  Mine is still being built and no confirmation as to how far it has gone through the process?  What do I win if I am the longest to wait for their car

You win a sense of smugness to go with the depression of not having a car yet.

Have you really been waiting this long?
