Ok last time I posted here my car was at status 40 which was 2 weeks ago so I would have really expected to have it by now, however I still haven't heard anything. How long does it usually take for a car to go from status 40 to status 60 normally? Seems to be taking a rather long time IMO? x

General Status 40
My dealer told me to expect delivery approx 3-4 weeks after the build date!
I'm waiting for mine at the moment too and you're right - it does seem like forever! (I'm 3 weeks in) I'm trying to resist the temptation to bug the dealership to find out the status - given that I was able to change my order only last week I'm guessing you'll have yours way before me!
It looks like your little car will be very similar to mine, the same but I don't have a stripe ordered. I hope it comes really soon
Amy,
I received a call from my dealer last week after I emailed him about whether the registration documents would come straight to me or via the dealer, to which he said they will come via himself. My car was at status 35 and was told to expect delivery at the end of the month a full 14 weeks since I ordered! I think if I knew it was going to be this long I might have gone for something else!
I have been told that Fiat in Poland make only 5 cars a day, is that correct?

No.
That stat is in relation to Funk White cars and was from back at the start of production as an estimate for demand.
Lamborghini probably make that amount of cars a day.
Does anyone know how many cars they make a day?
I might still have some stuff from Fiat somewhere, with all the information about production.
I'll go rake a couple boxes and see if it's still there.

Mine were at the dealers and still took almost 3 weeks before I picked them up due to paperwork being overlooked....
14 weeks!!! I won't be happy if mine takes that long
You must be fed up of waiting by now! I hope you get it soon.I was expecting mine to take the full 12 weeks they quoted because I ordered mine in the middle of all the scrapage orders.
I'm sure they will all be worth the wait.
mine was ordered 25th april and should be here 20th/21st this month, so we'll see if it happens
I've heard a lot of people mention status codes. I ordered mine today (for 1st Sep delivery) what are the status codes and how do I find out what my order is on? Cheers
Damn I seriously don't like you mate! (just jealousy)
I ordered on the exact same day, and my dealer can't tell me anything!
Just says he'll call when he knows more or it arrives.
I asked for a status code and he sounded like he has never heard of one.
And Amy when did you order yours and with whom?
my dealer has been spot on, when ever i have phoned for an update, they've got back to me within ten minutes with info.
I ordered mine on the 28th of March so reallly I would have expected it to be here by now? Thats been 10 weeks already which is what I was quoted and considering it was at status 40 two weeks ago surely it doesn't take that long to come up on the transporter? Ordered it from Arnold Clark Fiat in Aberdeen x
Decided to be a pain in the arse and phone my dealer and he said that on their system its showing up as being at branch (which its not) but he says it must be very close on the transporter. Woot woot. Hope it comes this week and im able to pick it up sometime this week as I'm off work so would work out well x
As ever keep us updated on your progress and I will with mine!
Fingers Crossed for you!

well over half a million last year, of pandas, 500, 600 and ka.
600 due to finish in july, but over all numbers going up to about 750-800,000, of which i think 120,000 will be ka.
abarths at about 100 a day

poking around the samar site there are some other intresting, and potentially problematic stats to be found too:
this means for first quarter this year germany took about 29,000 cars from tychy, about 80% of what thy had for the entire 2008 production, in just three months!!! that's a heck of a jump in demand, coupled with being right next door, already ahead of the uk in number of cars taken, easier to slot in more left hand drive production, etc. could make waiting times for RHD slots a bit longer?
however, look further :
