General Fiat 500 Delivery!

We ordered a cabrio 1.2 lounge on 19th July with an advised delivery date of late September/early October. Hell of a long time to wait, especially when we've sold our existing car!
We do know our number plate though, we bought a new 59 number from DVLA when we first decided to rush out and buy the cinquecento.

We've gone for Pasadoble red with red leather/ivory and a sprinkling of Italian badges. I hope that delivery date is some reasonable approximation of the truth.....

I doubt you'll get yours on that date but we'll see.
 
Had a call today from the dealer to say that as its going to be a busy month could they provisionally book my car for collection on 18th Sept :) ...I asked if the car would be ready for then and he would'nt confirm it as definate :confused: ..oh well guess I maybe getting a bit nearer.
 
called fiat today and our little 500 is in transit to the uk :)
it was finished being built on the 20th august.
the dealer still has no idea was status it's at and thinks we're still looking at october :confused:
fiat cs seem to know what they're talking about though and are really helpful.

how long does it take to get the car once it's left the factory ??
i'm really excited :D and nervous and disappointed at the silly old fiat dealers :shrug:
 
Hi Blinky3000
I placed my order for 1.2 Sport in July and was told it would be 12 weeks wait ! Its killing me lol - I contact the dealer with these build codes but she didn't respond with anything except my Mungo is being built 1st week Sept (Week 36). So hopefully 4ish weeks left to wait!! To be honest it has come around quite quickly so I hope it will come around speedily for you too. I never really noticed the 500's before - now I see them everywhere! Everyone at work can't wait for me to get her too.
 
3!!!:) It's so close now :) I'm actually getting nervous now which is probably really silly. It was so long ago that I ordered it I'm starting to worry what if I chose the wrong colour, spec etc etc - I'm sure I'll love it just can't wait until Tuesday now :slayer:
 
60?.... is it too early to start my countdown? (y) trying not to think about it but i cant resist comming onto the forum and having a look so you guys who are due to pick their cars up are very lucky in my opinion but i guess you have had the long wait before me so you know what i am going through i'm really envious....:)

Nope it's never too early to start the countdown :0) I know it doesn't feel like it at the minute but the time does go quite quickly if I look back on it.
I've been to the bank this morning and withdrawn the pennies to pay for it so it's all the more real now :D
Keep counting down and in the mean time you can start buying all the extras ready for it :)
 
Is anyone else really upset about scrapping their car? I was almost in tears clearing mine out, was amazed I'd gotten so attached to a car! :cry:

aww...
we couldn't use the scrappage scheme, but our car was on it's last legs so it had to be scrapped :(
i was amazed how much stuff was hoarded in it over the years. it was probably going to be jealous that we're replacing it with a lovely little 500
