xc60 Lead times

euanxc60 · Jul 29th, 2013, 20:22

I ordered my xc60 on 20th April and have been given a deliver date of 9th October. Does anyone know of any specific hold ups on the productions lines? 5.5 months seems very excessive.

Certainly not normal, mine came within 6 weeks when I ordered in Oct '12.

Ordered start of April, delivered start of June. Seems a long wait unless you want an R design or the factory has shut for the holidays.

ordering a car with a few extras the general delivery period I have
had is 6 - 8 weeks
I would have allowed up to an additional 4 weeks
given the changes to the car.

Who is the dealer? (please don't say arnold clark)

Ah just looked at your post again. I'm sure I read somewhere about
delays to R-design cars

Dealer is Murray Volvo in Edinburgh.

That's where I got mine

Have you asked your dealer why it is such a long delivery?
If not then phone them tomorrow and enquire.

I heard the new "bucket seats" in the MY14 where causing a delay until September...also I think an August holiday period slows output significantly as well...

Get the dealer to give you day , date and delay reason...when spending good money you want good communications from them...

Response from dealer: -

"We at branch level cannot explain why, this is a production decision, however the R Design specification is now built specifically for the UK market only. Whereas the SE and Se/Lux cars are built for the world market, so of course they will complete first.

I can only surmise that once the factory return after their 4 week holiday, the production of the ordered Se and Se lux models will finalise and then they can then set about the run for the R Designs, it could be that there are changes needed to the production line to facilitate the production of this range, I really don't know.

I also ordered mine (R Design) in April and was originally given a June delivery date. This was then moved to August. This week I've been advised that it is due to be delivered to the UK on 8th August so fingers crossed.....
