Slightly annoyed at the moment because I feel I have been mis-led by the dealer although I realise that others have had to wait considerably longer. I considered using Alphabet but they had told me to expect 6 months for delivery.

Sorry to hear that but you're not alone...
Quote:
Total days from order to delivery = [No. of days given by dealer when deposit taken] + 30 days + (6 x b)
where b is bullsh!t factor and ranges from 0 to 10
For me it's 60 + 30 + (6 x b) = 127 => My dealer's bullsh!t factor is 6.2
N.B. Even if your dealer has a bullsh!t factor of 0, your original estimate will still be optimistic by 1 month

And my advice is to never rely on email with dealerships. I don't think I ever got a response to an email from a dealer without following it up with a phone call a few days later to get them to actually read it. The best way to spur the useless ^&^*s into action once they have your money is to turn up in person and stand over them whilst they check/update your order
