I ordered a Mokka-E Ultimate in Grey on the first Sunday in March, at that time the dealer told me last week of April or First week of May - I didn't believe them as I had already been checking the vauxhall lead times and knew that early June was more likely, when early May came and went my dealer offered to swap me onto a car one of their management team had on order from the first week of Feb (so about a month ahead of my order), which I took up - it is an Ultimate in Red - I was told it was on event 25 and ETA showing as late July.
Weeks went by and I was still event 25, until yesterday (20th June) when it suddenly went back to event 21, the ETA has now moved to September.
I emailed the CEO of vauxhall and within 24 hours a minion got back to me (minion perhaps sounding more derogatory than I mean it to) - it was a swift reply and at least I wasn't ignored but basically they told me that they can't tell me anything more than my dealer has and I just have to wait - not very helpful really - all I am asking is they help to manage expectations a bit rather than keep assigning dates they must know they can't hit.
Constantly making decisions on how much petrol to fill up my car, being ultra cautious with the part exchange vehicle, having to make decisions about insurance, mot's service etc that didn't even dream would be needed when the order was first placed.
It's just all very frustrating, but I get that it isn't really anyone's fault (except maybe Putin!) but still, I think we are entitled to be frustrated.
