New on here but this thread was interesting. I Ordered 19th December with a quoted date of end of August. Pretty relaxed about the wait - waited nearly 9 months for my Focus RS.

However spoke to dealer yesterday and quoting end of July. He did say that dates are moving backwards and forwards. So anyone's guess. I did see on this thread that some people have had their cars and ordered about the same time as me so the luck of the draw.

Anyway I am really looking forward to getting the Supra only seen 2 on the road and once I knew I could fit in it I was sold.

Welcome to the forum.

Here's hoping it's July for you. The world of supply chain and logistics is a complicated one at the moment.

Welcome mate, I’m glad you posted. I’ve felt like the odd one out recently with these other guys ordering and already now driving theirs! Glad I’m not the only one still waiting.
it will be worth the wait! I’m told currently end of August but as you said it could always land a little sooner.
I actually mentioned to my dealer others who ordered same time as me are now driving their supras and they just said they couldn’t comment whatever that means!

I have never minded the wait the only irritation is making sure I don't need to distress sell my current car. Can live without it for a few weeks but don't want to sell and find the date moves a couple of months back. 5-6 weeks from build is a bit tight to give me time to sort sale at the right price. Definitely not wanting to part ex it.

Got an update from my dealer yesterday. Ordered mid Jan 2022. The delivery estimate moved from 15 October 2022 to 29 September 2022.

Im not in a rush so I don't mind to be honest.

Also I'm very curious about the manual spec reveal expected end of April and possibly other changes to be reveal on the same date.

Im in a similar boat thinking about selling my FK8. I know WBAC is the quick route but it would be nice to get more. Trouble is do people buy cars privately for £32k or so these days? I know I couldn’t. I’m always financing so I sort of assume mine will end up having to go to a company rather than a private sale

The FK8 was on my list but wanted new and so missed out as the timing not right and the last run out cars were silly prices.

My friend is in the trade so he will sell on my behalf and take a commission on the sale and he can offer finance facilities. So lucky. I know people who have gone to specialists who sell sports and high performance cars and got slightly more than WBAC. I did get a better price from CARWOW through their dealer network car sales function and I like the fact that I could take photos of any damage and could comprehensively list everything out and the price was guaranteed I think as they just pick up and dump the money in your account or clear the finance. Didn't go ahead but had two strong bids.

I feel guilty for getting mine so quickly

I really don’t know how you can sleep at night

My dealer ordered their yellow demo 1 day after mine. I've had mine since 8th March and theirs is due next week.

Just another data point for those waiting.

Someone might know this I have had the MyT showing order processing ever since I placed the order on December 19th. I have had an email today saying Order Processing and the map in the app is now showing the pin on Graz Factory.

Does this mean it is about to go into build. How long from the map going live before I see a change to build? Or am I just getting excited for no reason at all

 

[Davidpingu]

Exciting update for me this morning. I’ve been given a full date as an ETA rather than just a general month. 29th June which is nice considering I was originally told end of September. I might get some summer in it after all!
That’s the date it arrives at the dealer I guess so I’m figuring pick up early July

 

[mwilkinson]

Great news, I'm excited for you!

 

[Chappers]

Ahh mate long time coming sooo glad you've got a date now

I think the question is when is the next meet up scheduled for when @Davidpingu gets his car
