That sounds fast - Mercedes can deliver cars 12-18 months after ordering it, depending on model/specs.....
Same goes with VW/Skoda at the moment.

The pricelists on the website are now MY23 Edition 3 - but still do not seem to reflect the 'OTR' prices listed online..

In the case of the V60 it seems the lower priced 'Core' version has been discontinued (if that is what you do for something that hasn't started yet!).

Also there is a press release stating increased production problems related to chip supply - https://www.media.volvocars.com/glob...ctor-situation

It does look like MY23 supplies will be constrained.

Dohnut I think you may be fine with your R Design. You ordered yours around 3 weeks after me - v similar car. I was given a likely build date of 23 Mar. I had an email last week from dealer to say there were some potential hold-ups as factory was in ‘production free time’ but then another end of week to say car had actually been built and is now en route to UK. I wonder if the factory are trying to get the last of the R-Design/Inscription models out before the start on the Core/Plus/Ultimate models, in which case you may also see yours soon.

I hope you’re right, camper!

Your dealer seems a lot more communicative than mine. I’ve emailed my guy today but suspect I will have to chase by phone come the end of the week. Probably only to be told there’s no update, too!

I don’t want to bust his balls, it’s not in my interest to do so, but his lack of effort in keeping his customers informed is shocking.

Yes cannot complain about my sales contact at all, if I ask a question he is back almost instantly and that has included when he is away from the office.
I have changed spec and finance type several times and he has been very patient with me - or so it appears, he probably throws stuff around the office when he has read my emails.

I had a an update from mine yesterday to say still on track for a MID May delivery so see no reason why yours wouldn't be the same. My dealer is brilliant! I get an update at the end of every month either by phone or email!

Just spoke to my dealer as the possible delay worried me apparently the S60 isn’t impacted by the issue so mines still on for 13th June.

Hi all

Ordered my V60 B4 R-Design on Nov 4th, told End of March.

Pretty much heard nothing since then until a call middle of last week advising it was built and was on its way from the factory.

Now been allocated a registration number by the dealer but not sure when it will arrive, expected in the next week or so I think.

Saw a few cancellations at the start of the year but they were mainly Recharges, just pleased it’s finally close.

I don't know whether Volvo retail are still using Vista but they will have something similar. That is the info that your sales person should have access to and I can never understand why they don't just keep you up to date based on that information. I certainly had regular updates back in 3Q and 4Q 2019 when ordering.

Maybe you need to ask directly what Vista is showing??
