Ah, I think that we only paid £1000 deposit.... So "loosable" if a bigger discount was achieved (if that makes sense).
Good luck with clarification - things are a bit confusing... |

For those who care ... and realistically I don't expect that to be anyone, but I really do appreciate all the feedback it’s all very helpful and gratefully received …
... the dealer has just called me to let me know that he has apparently managed to update my order to include 6NR without impacting the delivery date. On a side note, he also informed me that there is a chance that 6NR will be available as a dealer fit, but that is unconfirmed at this time and is currently not available. ... of course, the cynic in me wonders whether they have actually managed to change the order or are just going to do it as an unofficial retrofit ... |

Wow... either you've not read too widely or you've been somewhat conned into placing a huge deposit! might we ask how much?
P.S. Great news on the 6NR change. If the status was indeed 1100 when the change was made, this is exactly as expected

I too made two spec changes mid order and, like others, with the confidence of members feedback I told the dealer to 'press the button'. On both occasions the delivery stayed the same. I think you can change up until just a few days before production, and so long as you are not changing engine, you will be OK |

My car was ordered through the company fleet manager in November, gave me a June delivery and they also claim not to be able to change the spec (To ADD options and give them more money for goodness sake!) without going to the back of the queue again. VERY annoying when you have no direct contact with the dealer to challenge it

Mine arrived
Love it so far, the only thing that seems a little cheap is the hard plastic trim on the inside of the hatch, infact the whole rear door seems a little on the thin side, I guess weight had to be saved somewhere!!!! |

Hi Plob
Thanks for ythis and the photos too I have comfort access ordered too and CANNOT wait! I have a two year old boy and always seem to have my hands full and also juggling car keys. So this feature will help me no end! Hope that you are still loving it and can't wait for mine (although it will be a few months yet!) QT Quote:

It's all gone quite here ...
Maybe we need something to put the thread back on page 1. So, I phoned to check up on status ... nothing changed, still at week 16 ... But what the dealer did forget to tell me is that I am now status 1200 ... yay! A step forward ... doesn't really count as news as it happened on the 23/03 ... Humbug ... missed a day in the life of my new car ... d'oh! ... will she/he/it ever forgive me. |

Looks like your car might be built a couple of weeks early. Usually status 1200 happens only one or two weeks before build, if this happened a week ago, I'd expect your car will be built next week or maybe even end of this - i.e. 2/3 weeks early. Exactly the same happened with mine and couple others on the board. Fingers crossed for you!

dnw: A couple of weeks early ... even though it says week 16 build?
That would be so amazing, but I won't hold my breath ... I am not that lucky normally. It would really help as scheduled delivery is currently after my MOT on the Jeep runs out so I would prefer to complete before the end of May ... or sooner obviously! baldyboy: I ordered it on 13th Feb. ... now I mention it, I can't believe I have managed to make it this far ... pathetic really ... whoever said waiting was half the fun needs help! |

Seems it changed to status 1200 last week - which was week 12 - I'd be suprised if that was 4 weeks before build. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes through a couple of weeks early. Also yours has delivery 7 weeks after build week, usually they quote 6 and you actually get it in 5... so if you get your overdue share of luck you'll get it built two weeks early and delivered another 2 weeks early, so maybe 3-4 in total... keep us updated!

very interesting to see the status of your order Horsey. Do keep us updated indeed !
Having ordered early March, I too had a tentative build date of Week 16. I will ask my dealer tomorrow for a similar screen print out to check the status of my order. As dnw says, if the build date is any earlier, I will be over the moon which means it might delivered in May !! Agree its the waiting that is the killer |

I feel like a little kid in a car asking their parents "are we there yet?" every time I call the dealer.
How many times a day do you think is too much?

MY 2013 Car Configuration on UK website
Just checking the car configurator on the UK website and am glad to see that the MY 2013 is now active.
Its interesting to see that the Lane Departure system is £400 with Sports Steering for £90, I am now tempted to go for that. As is known to members on the forum, the Drive Performance Control as standard Might give the dealer a call tomorrow to get the changes made and check the status of the build |

Reading the thread from our US cousins ...
Correct me if I am wrong, but that like 2 weeks from order to build! WTF? My order was more like 9 or 10 weeks between order and build … and still waiting ... /me grinds his teeth I know ... deep breaths and think 35D. |

On the other hand ... unless I haven't been paying attention, there seem to be a lot of us with week 16 builds ... do you think they are batching the UK builds?
