News on delivery of first Batch of IM5

[Lel]

My dealer originally told me delivery would be early December, they even emailed me last week saying delivery would not be later early December as car was in a ship already on its way.
I'm hoping they are under promising and will over deliver with a nice phone call next week sometime, fingers crossed.

More dealers have started advertising demonstrators available in the last few weeks, so maybe a new batch have landed in the UK recently

Hi
Great to know, where are you in the country, and do you know which uk port it arrived at?
I'm tracking a ship, with I hope mine on board, should dock in Bristol on the 9th November.

Surrey don't know what ship it was on but when I went for the Test drive .The sales manager told me the car was at Sea on the way to the Uk

I booked mine on Oct 10th and was told my car was already on a ship. My sales rep at Arnold Clark is on holiday, so maybe my car's also in the country and I'll hear from him when he's back. I can't remember the last time I was this impatient/excited to get inside something

The ship is the Anji Soundness I understand and is due in Bristol 7am Monday morning with 9500 units capacity so hopefully a lot of happy customers soon.

I'm also hoping more insurance companies become willing to insure it at that point. I've only had my license for 4 years and my wife for 1 and the insurance quotes are insane at the minute, even for the 75kWh Standard range. I'm only getting quotes from 3 insurers and they're all £3k+.

I have had a preliminary quote for just over £400,
But, me and my wife have had our licences for 50 years now ( both nearly 70 years now)

I was told on the 11th of October that the lead time was 16 weeks so I ordered it on the 14th.

I can't hand my current car back until mid-Feb so if it comes early that's gonna be a problem!

Did anyone hear from their dealer today? I waited all day but no news on my car.

 

[Lel]

Same here, I think we will need at least another day before we know who's car arrived in Bristol today.

 

[richardnorman]

When will the dealer give out the vin number ?

As far as I am aware, the dealer simply accesses a MG tracking site for their info. My IM6 is still due on Dec 8.

Where is this tracking site you speak of? I wasn't given anything to track. I'm phoning my dealer now.

It's a dealer only site

 

[sidious]

Just spoke to the dealer. They say it's showing as "delayed at port", so it definitely won't be here on the 15th of Nov. I guess I'll phone back on Monday.
