D4 Delivery dates

Thanks for the replies. I was told today that due to high demand, particularly for the 3L diesel, and limited build numbers being allocated to Australia, that mine won't be built until April, with late June/early July delivery. That's going to be 7 months from date of order, and 2-3 months longer than originally told,which is more than a little frustrating. Hope it's worth it!

Not good news to me, ready to get a D4, long wait is going to be very frustrating...:(

Positive side, it means it's a very good car

My 22 Dec order is now scheduled for delivery late-May (2010 at least). That's 6 wees later than expected at order time, but that's no different to industrial gear (eg, natural gas compressors) ordered from overseas. SWMBO keeps telling me that I should enjoy the enhanced cash flow for another 6 weeks, but I'd prefer to just have my D4.

There is an advantage in waiting for your car. I read on a UK Land Rover site last night that LR UK have released a series of software updates and these will be implemented on all new deliveries. My D4 will be delivered in 2 weeks, am I happy, you bet!

Considering your vehicle has to travel from the UK to Australia the delivery times here do not seem that bad. Was quoted a 5 month delivery for a D4 when in the dealership last weekend. Factory is only a 2 hour drive from here. Was told this was due to demand which was well beyond the ability of the robots to screw them together in the factory.
