Production Date Slippage...

Not like I didn't expect it to happen. My production date had been held steady at Jun 21 since I got my production # at the end of April. I check it every day (ok, sometimes more than once ) and it never moved despite the car having all three packages. My dealer assured me I would be getting the xenons in the package but said production may be later than originally stated. This morning the dae slipped back a week to Jun 28. Here's to hoping it holds there, I dont want my first drive to require snow tires.

Why can't we check this in the UK, it would be nice?

As we can't how much notice should I expect from my dealer to provide a date? I am concerned as I need to tie in the sale of my current car to help finance the purchase.

If they give a date which then slips can I demand they provide a loan car?

That is actually somewhat promising. If they only slipped you until the end of June, they still must plan having some headlights in early July.

gromit,

Mine also slipped from 6/14 to 6/21 today (5/29). No surprise there...I've been watching closely for my status to change to "scheduled for production".

Back to the waiting room...

My production date slipped a week too, from 6/7 to 6/14. Im not getting the sport package (gotta update my profile) but getting it a la carte with out the xenons. Well who knows why this stuff happens. Im just curious if this is going on across the board with most everyone.

My non-Xenon 'S' was scheduled to be built next week, but finished production and was released for distribution yesterday (05/28). It's now waiting for a train to the port.
