How long did you have to wait?
« on: 05 February 2008, 20:33 »
Hi,

I was wondering how long you guys had to wait for your car to arrive once you had placed the order?

I put my order in on the 11th of Dec and the latest from the dealer is that it will be here mid April :cry:. I am going mad waiting for my new car (not helped by having to drive down some great b roads on my daily commute).

Cheers

From ordering day to driving it off the forecourt:

10 weeks and 2 days.

Not that I was counting or anything.. :grin:

The wait is an absolute killer but you just gotta put up with it. It's worth it.

I can't remember exactly :undecided:

I must have some kind of mental block from the trauma of waiting :laugh:


It was about 12 weeks. :smiley:
