Hi, has anyone any idea what the lead time usually is from ordering a new car to it being delivered to the garage, the garage said could be about 4 weeks but have had them in sometimes within 2 weeks. Tell ya, since our test drive and putting pen to paper i'm like a bloody kid waiting for xmas day, for gods sake i'm 68, think i need to grow up!!!!!.

I was shocked when told but the C3 MK3 hatchback that I ordered was an automatic and they hadn't actually built any right hand drives when I went to order it. The salesman said I must be mistaken as he had no knowledge of auto C3. I had to show him the Citroen web site.
The second one was because of the extras I wanted. Still when they arrived they were factory fresh

Hi Tommo, if you ordered an 'off the shelf' car from stock then 4 weeks sounds about right, but if yours is a factory order (i.e. you ordered any factory-fitted options or specific paint combinations etc.) then 16 weeks is typical in my experience.

I ordered at the beginning of July, and was told 14 -16 weeks. I had an update 2 weeks back and was told that the C5 was down for production and they were hoping for a September delivery, but this was not guaranteed and had not been confirmed.

Update to the above. Delivery is now due December, around the 6th I have been told. Citroen are having supply issues with microchips, so it’s out of their hands. Hopefully it will be here for Christmas with a big bow on it.

Everycar manufacturer has microchip issues. Some cars are being shipped without equipment that is supposed to be standard and some ordered options are not being fitted.

That’s bad if that is happening, I would rather not have the car if it is going to be missing any of the spec. But surely the dealers would be informed of this so they can notify customers before they take delivery?

I have now resigned myself to accepting that it's going to be a 2022 delivery, but it's good to know that some garages are honouring the original p/x figure given at time of ordering. next time our garage contacts us for an update on progress of the new car i will be asking the question on p/x figures and i am hoping they to will honour our original figure, i shall report back when i have spoken to them.
