Same! Just off the phone to my Dealer after telling them I am cancelling, having secured a GTS MT with January delivery

Regardless, I will say that the service provided by my original Dealer can not be faulted, their level of service to as a customer has been A1 and I in no way blame them for the delays I have experienced. The GTS came about by pure chance and good luck.

Please don't knock your Dealers everyone, it's not their fault, but I do have concerns people ordering now are expecting their cars to be here as soon as 4 months

Yep I agree 100%. The car im getting should have gone to someone who got in early but if I don't take it someone else will. I much preffered my original dealer who I purchased the GT though, they actually did the right thing and their extra allocations went to people who already ordered.

Well done! I know a lot of frustrated customers just like myself! I got lucky with a Pegasus White GTS MT simply thru a Dealer being allocated an additonal car that matched the customers June order, as such I took on his original order BUT, I asked the Dealer to make sure any other customers of his were given the chance before me, only one was still waiting and he was prepared to wait for his blue one!

I can't speak highly enough of my original Dealer, they have done everything they possibly could for me, i knocked back two GT's because the colour didn't suit me

My turn, like yours, will come but it will be interesting to see when my original GT finally does turn up!

Would I likely get it earlier than this date? I was hoping for before Christmas.
Before that was it 'planned production November' or 'Planned production December'?

Thanks

Identical to mine!!

Just got around to getting the log and password for the Customer Order site the other day. Ordered June 11th, and I have an estimated pick up date of Jan 7th.
The guy at the dealer is pushing for a pre-xmas pick-up, but I don't have my hopes high. :p
Should be a good new years present though.

Yours is coming in on the same boat as mine, probably. Contact your dealer for a stock printout and see when it arrives at the port-- then remember the final assembly/fitment/reception place closes over christmas (they chuck in your radio, sadly, not the dealer). Mine's 22/11 production scheduled with 19/12 port delivery.
