Still waiting on my new van
« on: May 13, 2019, 11:20:13 pm »
Ordered my new Transit Custom Sport end of January. I was given a delivery date of 13th April.........I’m still waiting :'(. I am now into my fourth week of hiring a van as I sold my van to WeBuyAnyCar. The dealership is saying Brexit is to blame ( it gets the blame for everything eh! ). Apparently lots of new vehicles were stockpiled in EU countries before the brexit date of 29th March and this has caused a big backlog for the new vehicles to then be transported on to the dealerships...well that’s what I’ve been told anyway. Anyone else heard of these problems?

Yours wouldn’t have been a factory order Daz, it would have been physical stock.

This the reason I’d always buy a pre reg or almost new van, would hate the waiting game!

It’ll be a lovely van when it arrives though.

Cancel it and Buy British then...


Vauxhall Vivaro is Luton based.

Not sure of any others.

I am sure they will change their tune when you tell them you want to cancel

No turning back now, I already have the log book😲 I told them before I ordered the van it had to be concluded by 30th April ( end of my financial year ) so the van has been registered and I have the  V5 logbook....just need the van now😩

The last vehicle I ordered was late, they just  gave a courtesy van for two weeks.
May be a useful post to make so maybe a question to ask if you order a factory order van

The Custom is made in Turkey and Turkey isn't part of the EU so its nothing to do with Brexit.

My advice when you receive it is to get it thoroughly inspected by the AA or RAC for damage which is/has been repaired. I would do this, leased or not.

In my motor trade days a customer purchased a special order Berlingo Multispace ex factory which never came. We later heard it had been damaged in transit and reshipped to Citroen's bodyshop. It had had a whole lot of side damage repaired. The leasing company rejected the vehicle when it finally arrived a month late.

Yeah I know they are made in Turkey, it has been shipped/transported out of Turkey 6-7 weeks ago apparently, and is now in Antwerp, Belgium, where there is a big backlog of vehicles ( due to the then impending brexit on March 29th )waiting to be shipped to the UK........well that’s what I’ve been told anyway🤥🤥
