Snap :D If you have VIN like me, yours in on that ship which has now docked :D
I have no words.. I thought I'd never be built. Now I've no idea when it was built, all I know is it was by 9th feb.

Just like you mine is supposed to be on the ship which docked at Tilbury today. Do you know with reasonable certainty that your car will be at the dealer on the 28th?
I ask because it would save me renewing my insurance, tax and servicing my current car, whereas beyond 3 March I would have to do insurance and service.

I'm pretty confident /hopeful it will be. Guy on Facebook said tilbury 3rd feb at dealer 9th feb recently so hoping the turnaround is improving. Think will all depend on available transporters and where it's going. My dealer is approx 2 hours from Tilbury. Whereas I am 5 hr odd to my dealer haha

From what I've heard six day turnaround is, other than your guy, unheard of these days. We can hope!!
My dealer distance is 200 miles from Tilbury and I'm 165 miles from Tilbury and 60 miles to dealer. If we were to swap cars/dealers it might be easier :D

Haha I got a very good deal which unfortunately none of the Scottish dealers were prepared to match. The draw of December 22 into Dealer also was a factor which turned out to be way off! What trim /colour/engine is yours?

Glad you guys are having your cars soon, I'll be having mine in August.

Exactly same as yours Quinn010 in Shadow grey. It is really strange with best deals. I bought a top spec Rav4 when the new model first came out in 2019 and dealers were reluctant to discount. Brokers were better at about 10% but a dealer in Falkirk gave me an incredible 20% and delivered it via a transporter free.
Best deal I have had was 36% on a Mercedes CLA which I sold for the same price 2 years later
