When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

[iainfm]

So near and yet so far...

I was about to leave to walk to the station to go and get my new car when the dealer rang.

Apparently the one that's there isn't mine. The chassis number is out by one digit "somewhere in the middle", and its an Exclusive instead of an Excite. The chassis number isn't in their database anywhere, so they don't know who's it is or who has my car.

Investigations are continuing!

One of those I could cope with. The other would be a tad annoying!!

I asked my dealership earlier this week as my date is last week in Nov but was told mid- late Nov. I was told you can’t track the vehicle but is should be here any day so just hoping it lands soon because being excited for the car gets tiring ?

Mine is due for delivery tomorrow the 20th . . . . but the dealer still hasn't got the confirmation email so I guess not tomorrow then!

Was the 20th the original estimated date?

Mine was due "by October 29th", picked it up November 11th.

My car has been sat at Southampton awaiting transport sine 3rd November, dealer said the delivery booked for tomorrow has been put back to mid next week, so no car for a few days.

Apparently there are over 10,000 MGs awaiting chips before loading in China!

Yeah, talking to the dealer, the dock can have so many random delays.

Update on my delivery... Transport company has admitted error (and currently on the receiving end of MG's wrath ). My car has been located somewhere "down south", and the car at my dealer should be in Wales. Should all get sorted out by the end of next week. Hopefully!

Don’t suppose it’s a blue lr exclusive. Was told 22nd for my delivery but heard nothing so far.

The two in question for my problem are both white...but if one mistake has been made... ?

 

[PonteMG5]

Mine due is white so hopefully was on same shipment, and even more hopefully it hasn’t been sent somewhere else.

Just spoke to garage. Mine is confirmed docked and due for delivery next week. So v close to the 22nd I was 1st told.

Out of interest when did your place your order?

1 month ago ish. So they new it was on the ship when I ordered.

 

[Ozzie1989]

Interesting, I ordered mine beginning of Oct and have been given a date of 20th Jan. I guess different dealers / companies may have pre-ordered vehicles in anticipation.

Yes think that was case when I ordered mine. They had an allocation of white LR exclusives and I got last one, so they were already expecting them. Expected this month but no sign yet from dealer other than it could be any day.

 

[ayres]

Yeah this garage had preordered a few and I was lucky this 1 had not been purchased yet.

 

[escortcab]

One has just been done so I have been told, and another due mid Dec which mine is on.

 

[Gomev]

Ordered second half of September and still no word on mine yet. ?

 

[escortcab]

I got told if I ordered now, I would not get the car till Apr.
On that premise; if you ordered in Sept - then worst case scenario is Feb for your car if it was factory made and not pre bought
