I ordered it about 2 wks ago, I was initially told 6 - 12wks, but I went back to sign the order form (I Initially ordered the car over the phone), and I was informed by the garage, that due to the sales figures they were expected to meet (by FIAT Auto), that they either wanted the delivery times lowered or the expected sales figures dropped.
I think you can figure out for yourselves which option Fiat Auto went for.
So was told it is now due at the start of May (just about 6wks or so).
I'm now sat twiddling my fingers in anticipation.

31st March

Sorry Bob I meant more how many weeks they told you? My dealer told me 6 weeks but on the order form it said 8 weeks. He told me that the delivery at that moment (25 Feb) was going really fast but it turns out it's going to be 8 weeks or even more. Looking on the bright side; at least the weather should be better when I get it.

Mine is due around 10th April now, which would make it around 8 - 9 weeks since i ordered it i think

Sorry to hear about that bob, mine's delayed by a couple of days too. But at least mine is in the UK now. Ah well could be worse - could have a 10 year old Punto 55 as a courtesy car

I cant help but think that because fiat share with hyundai im gonna end up with one of those nasty Getz things

It beats the bus.

Yeah i know, but i just want my punto!

Don't we all

Probably not, hence the 5yr warranty

Not saying it looks better, thats for sure, just better built. Surely the 5 yeras is the other way round. The reason they can afford to do 5 year fix all is because they make 90% of everyting in the car so all replacement parts they make themselves.

Our local Citroen dealer took on Hyundai franchise but got rid after 12 months as they said firstly they didn't sell many and secondly they never went wrong and they need the repairs through the workshop....no such problem with the Citroens!

Spoke to the dealer today and im going over tomorrow to pick a mk2 punto active up to use until the 10th april......Funny thing was to start with the dealer was like "we've only got a mk1 punto 60s at the moment, sorry its not a good car!" and then he rang later in the day and said he had a better much better car to lend me a mk2 punto active......

I would have rather had the mk1 but oh well cars a car

You what?

I think you know what i'm gonna say bob - i'll gladly swap you the mk1 60s on my drive for the mk2 active on yours

I love the mk1 had one as my first car

is your mk1 a 3 door

No, it's a classy 5-door, in super special white. Infact it's an SX so got the quality e/w and c/l

I have a classy 3 door mk2 active with colour coded bumpers in a really dark grey, dare i say its actually not that bad

Gpunto should be in next weekend hopefully
