Waiting patiently for my new XC90

[Samrainbow]

Hi
First post from me 😊
I ordered my first XC90 a few weeks ago (over the Jag F Pace, Disco and Massa Levante) and have today been given a date of the 2nd week of September. How realistic is this, does it generally change and get delayed or is it pretty accurate? I'm just impatient already....... 😊

I'm feeling like that too a bit... am told it's being built 'now' and will be here for beginning of Sept, but why am I nervous. The Beamer goes at the end of August so worried ill be without a car...a little! Good luck...

Like you I'm getting a little panicky, I've been given a date 15th September for my new XC60 I'm told it would be earlier rather than later, have now sold my my current XC60 to a relative, all set to transfer on the 15th. I tried hard to put him off buying my car, because of such problems, so much easier with a straight PX. At least he will get a good car at trade price.
Just hope it all comes to plan.

I'm picking mine up on 15/9 🤞🏻so I guess yours should be in a similar/same shipment to mine - in which case I'd check the status with your dealer - mine showed as "factory complete" (which I guess means "built but not on its way yet") as at Thursday 31/8 and was still showing as delivery to dealer on 11/9.

That certainly put my mind at rest anyway!

The main advantage with PX is any problems that develop go with the car, not you and however close the relative it's worth a mention. Your new car delivery should be OK. I was changed from 30 September build to end of October but this has been lifted 10 days, probably sooner by the dealer, hope its true and not just to placate me.

Mine still due by end of September. Should be at dealers after 18th September.
I am guessing new XC60 will come from Sweden direct by boat?

As a matter of interest when did you place your order and is it an Inscription. Hope you do not mind me asking.

Believe me I tried to put him off, told him would need a service in October, MOT end of January, there aren't any bad bits with the car, apart from the odd stone chip. But he was adamant that he wants it. I think it's probably about 3k under retail, so I guess you can get a lot of work done for that. It will still be under manufacturer warranty until the 30th January 2018, so he should get about 4 months.
