D4 MY13 Delivery

[BenD4]

Hi all,

Anyone got their MY13 D4 yet?

I get updated every few weeks via Private Fleet's website. Yesterdays update has my car arriving at the dealership tomorrow with delivery the same day. I'm assuming delivery will be a few days after they receive it but it's so close I can almost smell that new car smell.

Hi BenD4,

Good luck with the delivery. I have only just ordered and mine will not arrive till early May, so I am very envious of your imminent delivery. Hope all goes well for you.

Did LR delay the start of the new year models? They used to start building the next years models in about August - so I would have expected some MY13s to be here already.

Eg. My previous D3 was a MY07, built in Sept 2006 - delivered on 29/12/2006.

From my understanding there was a delay in the re-fitment of the factory. LRA didn't start taking orders until the 5/9/12.

Hi Jonesy,
No delay, but you have to realise there will be a batch of 13MY vehicles that will still have the conventional 6 speed stick gearshift. These were not held up at all & proceeded into the country as per usual.
The new 8 speed 13MY vehicles they did not arrive until late (read last week of) 2012.
I think these will be designated 13.5MY vehicles, not that the owner will know any difference. Its a LR thing

Interesting Sniegy, Ive been confused about this. My 6speed D4 arrived in Australia in late November and I have assumed it was a 2012 runnout model. Is there a place I can check the the VIN against build date/model year.

As you say it's all moot, but I'd be interested to know.

[sniegy]

In the VIN it will read Eg: SALLAAAF3 D A123456

The D tells you it is a 13MY, if you have a C in this position then it's a 12MY.
Regardless when the vehicle is built, the VIN determines model year ;-)

Hi there
Most of the new cars arriving by boat these days have their pre-delivery and detail done at the centre on the holding area here at Port Kembla,i have friends who work there and they say it's the best way to get a good look at the newies B4 anybody else,so yours will most likely come to the dealer ready to go.
best of luck with the new one
Paul.
