    If that doesn’t meet your timeframe you will need to make a decision on what you want to do.

    All manufacturers are in the same boat, lead times on vehicles are nearly a year for “non-stock” items.
    And many dealers of all makes are struggling to get floor stocks.
    Yes but we have been in this situation for nearly 18 months - quoted delivery dates should be reflecting the reality of life we now live in. Definitely a vehicle ordered in April, a year into the pandemic should have made the delays quite clear to a buyer and why they are occurring.

    My D250 as spec`d was an S, the only random options was a white roof on eiger grey, air suspension and a rear locker, I wanted a base model..the only silver lining if I go ahead is that the price is locked in..

    Garry,

    There’s a global shortage on electronics / chipsets etc at the moment.

    Then there’s IT equipment, we’re seeing 10-14 week lead times on a Desktop PC. Screens 16+ weeks and keeps blowing out.

    Car electronics have been influenced same way.
    Hence the key fob issues.

    As for being f able to predict lead times, nobody seems to know in any industry.

    Hey Tombie,

    Read somewhere the other day that they were delaying the manufacturing of your Tesla ute.

    Have you been notified of any delays?

    regards,
    Myles

    We have been useing a brand of elecronic controllers,made in Brisbane, for the last 30yrs,never an issue,used to be off the shelf,no matter the model.

    Now they are fixing the old ones,as they cant get all the parts to make an entirely new one.
    So they are basically 'refurbished',not new.
    Price seems to similar though....

    In the motor vehicle manufacturing industry,some manufacturers were way ahead of others, having many months back up of parts,used in the manufacturing of their new vehicles,where others hadnt thought ahead and ran out quickly.

    .....
    I was reading an article that they claimed that Ford is building F trucks, but without some components(guessing some ECUs and chip related stuff) so that when the electronics does come in, it's a matter of installing those parts quickly and despatch the vehicles out ASAP.

    The other bits of news recently noted is that there is (or going to be) a shortage and or price increase of rubber. Price has risen sharply in the last few years. So even more possible delays on the horizon.

    Yes I know and LR knows how it impacts their production and delivery times - I am sure that LR provide realistic delivery times to their dealers but of course dealers do not want to risk a sale by quoting realistic delivery times - hence the porkies.

    Have dealers ever been ethical .

    Back in the 70's when I was selling trucks and Range Rovers for Leyland ( A Land Rover was a truck and was sold by the Truck division and a Range Rover was a Land Rover so was also a truck ) waiting time was about 18 months with a corresponding high profit margin and healthy black market. For years these used to turn up in dribs and drabs and the good times continued when suddenly a big ship load arrived. Leyland hid these away in a big warehouse and slowly released them so as not to "flood" the Market.
