My wife ordered her lease car at the end of April. She has ordered a base FreeLander 2. At first she was told she would get it in 12 weeks, to our horror, she chased it this week to be told Land Rover haven't even given a build date yet and couldn't give a build date until September. Are we having wool pulled over our eyes or are Land Rover really slow?

Regards

Ian

Hi, LR products are in great demand at present. Lead time for some Evoques is up to 12 months. Can her lease company find one available in base spec unsold at a dealer to be supplied in short order?

Turns out LR are stuck up there own arse and basically said lease cars for the NHS are more of a hindrance, after many hours on the phone, they told us the build date is 15th August.

Sorry to hear this but the build schedule for a factory order Freelander will be at the mercy of Evoque build at Halewood. The place is flat out at the moment to meet demand for both cars.
