Delivery Date When Do You Expect Your Xr6?

[Guest P'cisT]

Another dealer visit (my local guy, finally). He said he would guarantee an October delivery if I ordered this month. I am looking for November delivery so this is not an issue. He said that he could probably get the T in September without a problem so that's three months.

So would delievry date need to be negotiated during the purchase to ensure an early delivery date? I just thought they put everyone in order.

I didn't haggle for delivery. I just told the dude that my current car was going bye bye on November one. So after the test drive on Monday with the wife it could be order time! B)

Maybe delivery times depend on the dealer allocation of cars. My dealer here in Geelong is the biggest dealer in Victoria so probably have the largest allocation, that's why I believe delivery should only be three months. People I know in Geelong with turbos all got theres in around 3-4 months. The delays experienced by other people in different cities is probably effected by this dealer allocation. There are no delays on Turbos at the moment, and the Turbos use the same cams as the standard six. I guess it all depends on where you live. My new XR8 took five months for delivery because of the delays on the autos but it was worth the wait.

Ah!!! Thanks dude I thought this was the case. So the dealer who told me about the cam shaft was telling porkies.....

Yeah that's what I've now been told. I've ordered mine with one of the biggest dealers in Perth but their turnover would pale in comparison with the larger ES dealers.

We are after all in the colonies :D

I ordered my T in May through Leaseplan and I have been advised an August delivery but have not yet been given a SIDO. I am a little worried that this date may now blow out after reading some of the posts here. I am now thinking of getting a different colour from another dealer which they have available now. Still trying to decide hmmmmm

I ordered a Narooma Blue Turbo 13 March expected delivery was looking like August, (BTW it's a fleet car) but the dealer was offered a Phantom Turbo in exchange for an XL Ute, needlessto say I didn't have to think about it for too long.

The Narooma Blue suited our corporate colours better (Blue & Gold), but I actually prefer the Phantom.

We'll take delivery either late Monday or Tuesday next week.

The Sales Manager told me that they are the third biggest dealer in Brisbane and they only have an allocation of two Turbos per month.

So it seems the more they sell the longer you'll have to wait.

He also said they've had to buy cars at up to $3000 over cost to fill orders that were starting to waiver so hang in there all you guys waiting for your 'birds' I beleive the wait will have been well worth it.

I'm just glad my wait is finally over. Ten weeks has been looong enough for me.

Well at teh moment I'm pretty happy.

I ordered my car with a lot of options (see sig for the specs) on 10 April and was told delivey in June.

Closer to the date I was advised that the 25 June would be the date. On Wednesday 18 june the dealer called me and said that it would be ready on Monday 23 June.

In all I waited less than 3 months so I'm wrapted!

Tomorrow.... it arrives......

You lucky bugger Isher,

I ordered mine with leather and premium sound in late Feb and wont get it until July 15. I ordered mine from John McGrath, fleet discount.

Who did you go through? and was it fleet discount?

I can't belive how many XR6T I see around Canberra now. Can't wait to hit the streets with mine.
