JLR Moved My ETA - Further Out 😤
#41
OK, I place my order for the R Coupe on August 23rd and paid a deposit. The dealer provided me an order specification sheet a few days later. Originally, delivery was to be early December. Now they say late December. I asked the dealer to provide me a copy of the order/build confirmation from JLR with a build and ETA estimate and there is just silence from them (the dealer). Is it possible they may not have placed the order? I was supposed to get one of their allocation. Could it have gone to someone else? Is it too soon for the dealer to have the build/ETA date and, if so, wouldn't they at least have an order conformation from JLR?
The dealer has all this info AS SOON as the order is placed.

Build update
I requested this information from my dealer and still have nothing so I should assume my order has not been placed? Since I placed the order almost a month ago I am concerned especially about the delivery date which they tell me is end of December but may be later if they have not placed the order. I may call JLR and see if they can provide me information.

Have you given them a deposit? Assuming the answer is yes, I would insist on a copy of the Vista Build Sheet.
If you have not secured an order with a nominal, fully refundable deposit, or if they have not asked you to sign any document verifying the specs on the "order" you believe you placed, then I would be suspicious too as to if an order truly exists.

I assume your car will go through the Panama Canal and into Long Beach. I don't recall if mine went into Baltimore or Newark.
Here's a satellite view of cars being loaded onto carriers in Newark. Pan around - that's a lot of cars. Long Beach is similar.

But I'm not picking it up in LA, I bought it from a dealer in Colorado. Wonder if that increases delivery time. I assume it will come in from the east coast, or the Gulf.

Thank you! My order went in a week behind yours on 9/3 so I was really strarting to get excited. However after rereading your post it sounds like the original order of yours could have been weeks prior.

I think so. When I first started talking with them about a custom order they expected the delivery date to fall around January. Once I actually placed it they said they would modify one of the current allocations. So now I'm guessing early November?

As I well know, those dates can change, but if your dealer has actually entered your order they DO have this info.
