I'm still waiting for a build slot and delivery on r design t5 ordered just after Christmas. Been told some point in may, but its not confermed ! No were near the 8 to 10 weeks delivery date advertised. I'll be canceling soon unless its sorted !

Well - in that case its gonna be another few months so I will take your slot :-)

[bedonde]

My other lease is going back in May so if there isn't news soon I'll be cancelling and making other plans. Can't just leave it open ended as I'll be without a car otherwise.....

What have you guys been provided with so far? All I have received is confirmation from Andrew that my car will arrive at the dealer early April.

My current car goes back next week so any further delays will be a major headache. I'm already looking at a 14 week wait, initial delivery was quoted at 8-10 weeks.

[bedonde]

All I've had is a generic letter from ALD Automotive, nothing about build dates, delivery dates to me or delivery to a dealer. I don't think icarlease know what's going on either....
The lack of any concrete info is worrying.

Have had the same confirmation and the letter from ALD confirm my approval of my finance..

I did email again a couple of days ago again citing my concerns and that if it is arriving early april then should I not have had finance papers etc by now?

Got the same reply saying its early april and will be sending over docments as soon as they get vin and registration etc...

If you've had this email i would say you car is/has been built, i got the same email and a couple of weeks later my delivery date and paper work at the same time, so my paperwork arrived 1 week before expected delivery.... i wouldn't worry to be honest.... i even delayed my delivery by a month.

Hi just a quick question on timescales. I'm interested in an r design. What kind of lead time would I currently be facing? Any thoughts? Thanks

Just plumped for a D5 R-Design with Xenium and Winter packs in Osmium Grey - 6k miles for £407 a month.

It's not a new build (but it's a pre-reg) and Volvo are offering 3k discount on existing stock before end of March so felt like a reasonable time to go for it.

Where was that from? And what's the payment profile? Friend is looking for stock or short lead time vehicle. So any pointers greatly appreciated.

Sorry yeah that would have been helpful..

it's on a 3x35 from Cecil and Larter in Bury St Edmunds but from what I made out it's nationwide stock as the car is coming down from Glasgow.

Was told today my xc60 (ordered in Dec) will be deliverered on 2nd April to the dealer and then should take 2-3 days before it gets delivered to me...

I think 2-3 days delivery after arriving at the dealer is a little optimistic but fingers crossed...

[wjb]

Not leasing one, but I just had a 2017 D5 R design for a couple weeks. If you're waiting for delivery for the new one it will surely be worth the wait.

I'm not one for new cars really, but it was superb.

WJB, you do realise that is the old XC60?

Yeah, I do now

If anyone is thinking of cancelling because of the long lead times/delays, I would be interested in taking your slot

For those of us with cars arriving early April, have you received your reg yet? I’m keen to sort my insurance, been promised a dealer date of 2.April (bank holiday) yet I’m still waiting on the reg and final finance documents.

I’ve heard nothing and am still waiting...

Let’s hope they start trickling through soon.

Got my Reg!

Congrats - on an 18 plate?

Did they give you delivery date?

Good stuff! You went for a standard momentum didn’t you?

On a side not, have any of you tried the T5 engine before ordering? I got out in an XC60 for a few hours but I haven’t yet tried the T5 engine. Hope it’s a peach
