If i ordered a 500 on Monday- nothing tricky, just a pretty standard 1.2. How long would you think it would be before its delivered?

Has anyone ordered one recently- if so when are you expecting it?

Thanks :cool:
 
Well, I ordered my 1.4 Sport approx a week before you and mines already on Status Code 16 (Fixed for production). Which theoretically means mine will be built early Feb and should hopefully be with me by mid March. So yours shouldn't be long after that (depending on what you ordered with it as theres delays on a few things).

Cheers,

It will depend on how many cars your dealership has been allocated and how many of those they have already sold.

Some that ordered before you will get their cars later, whilst others that order after you will get theirs earlier, it all depends on the above.

The only people that can answer your question with any certainty whatsoever are your dealership.
 
Yep I'm gonna order soon and my local dealer told me if I ordered then (last Thursday) it would be ready to collect during May.............

This pisses me off massivly.

I ordered mine early October & will not get in until early March.

Go figure that out.

Whoa there horsey!

I wanted to wait until I could actually test drive the car before putting a deposit down and ordering one as I don't want to pay for a car I might not even like. I blame Fiat and some dealers for the way they've handled the orders.

I've been waiting ever since I saw the 'Trepiuno' concept car, so a few more months is not going to bother me ;)

i ordered mine on launch day and was told it was on a week 7 build and to expect delivery last week of march first week in april hope this is the case (y)
Mine's a Week 7 Build and is due in the UK on the 10th March so you could get it a bit sooner than first week of April :)

Actually - as you're having the 16" wheels there may be a couple of weeks delay... that would figure the different expected delivery weeks :) :)

Not aimed at you don't fret.

Just wondering how FIAT can quote me 21st Jan delivery, then end of Jan, now early March when I ordered in October.
 
well been trying to contact my dealer to try find out the dates of mine for defo but cant get hold of him always on ther line or they say he will phone me back and never does, :mad:

Your not alone, trust me! My local Fiat dealer is the same. I've insisted they send me a copy of my order, so we'll wait and see. As to delivery of my car, well I was told last week (after much nagging) it was at Status 16, which I suppose is something :rolleyes: Whether it turns up the way I ordered it though is another thing...

Do my thing and keep on nagging, until you get a response. The way I see it is your paying there wages, if people didn't buy cars from there dealerships they'd be knackered. It's not like you've just bought a pair of shoes, its a car, a big investment for anyone, so we have rights to know when our cars are being built and when they should be delivered!!!

i have an order sheet gave it me on the day of order when they said week 7 build but i wanna know for defo as i dunt want to have to wait for months and months

i've been told that a week 7 build is w/b feb 11th. so you should expect delivery around a month or so later...prob around mid march. i'm waiting for my dealership to confirm whether mine is a week 5 or 7 build...

hope this helps.
 
they defo told me week 7 when i ordered but i put loads of extras on and after reading some stuff on here worried that these will delay my order :confused:

hopefully you'll be o.k. i ordered mine just before the 21st when the 500 was released, so i'm hoping i got there just in time to get me the 16" multi-spokes!!
