got a response on the amp. Basically the Distribution contact said no idea when the amp would come in and they were prioritizing parts to sold orders. So, who knows?

at least this is better than the Bronco Raptor I have in order. That build date gets pushed back 2 or 3 weeks every time I get within 2 or 2 weeks. So hard to get a new car these days! I could be far worse problems though…

I almost went with #2 because I was talking with them before #3 and I will get a protection wrap and ceramic but that amount was too low so its likely they were going to put it on the vehicle very sparingly and not where I would want it. I also feel that is not something you leave to some unknown detailer.

It exists but I get the impression it's diminishing except for particular areas. I'm in Maryland.
add me on here and Instagram if ya want “the_one_thirty”, I also ordered back on July 1st. Keeping up with all the other 130 orders.

Hey Alex, considering selling our 30th Anniversary, if interested, please PM me. Thanks,

I have a feeling this is why my dealer was hesitant on giving me the actual date... knowing it wasn't going to happen. Instead just a general mid September.

Don't lose hope - Today is pickup day for me. It's been 8 months since the order. Yours will happen!

In my case, the delivery date was seriously affected by the dealer being able to get cost efficient transport from the dock to the dealer. I get the sense its sort of an Uber deal in which its all about what the dealer is willing to pay for transport. If one dealer only has a few cars on the truck, the stars need to align with other dealers nearby also getting cars from that port or on the way. For me, there was another user on this forum who received their car (bought through a different LR dealer in this area) a week before me even though the cars arrived on the same boat.

What’s the normal time for the cars to wait at the port before being put on a boat? My car was built 7/22 and It has been sitting at the port in England for over 2 weeks now according to my dealer. Delivery was supposed to be 9/9 then pushed to 9/16 then 9/23 and now being told 10/7. Anyone facing a similar delay?

Mine is onboard the Dorado Leader and has been since August 27th. It's not even due into port until October 3rd (probably going to be later than that). Dealer is saying end of October.
