We currently have 10 cars awaiting arrival all were suppose to be here early late January early feb to be registered in feb, seems like they may get delivered in march and customers will want them on march plates, Suzuki are pushing all dealers for feb reg for targets so will be some interesting conversations to be had soon.

If my dealer registers the car in February then as you say there will definitely be an 'interesting' conversation taking place...

Check your order form, we make sure all our customers have agreed to a Feb reg because that's the deal we offered them, but to be fair if their car comes in march of course we will change it too march but Suzuki will try to make dealers put it into feb because march well may as well not exist really not enough cars will be available so they are not fussed about it as much.

all we get is the car is in zeebrugger..... on its on a ship on its way.... its useless I can order a £1 dvd and know exactly where it is, buy our £20k cars... well mr customer truth is we don't really know when it will come.

No wonder our customers are hacked off I would be.

I feel for you as a dealer having after about five days getting a return call from Suzuki Customer Services and the irony is a probably have a greater understanding where a vehicle is than they do. Why I find it amusing is it is not as if they are factory orders ether

It had got to the point having wanted this for my business that the businessman in me is saying don't put the private plate and flip it so I do not have to deal with the dealer network for servicing. I am sure I will change my mind when it gets here and I am sure people may criticise me for that but its a thought that is crossing my mind.

I've informed mine that I do not want hots of it over social media etc now for their publicity purposes either. I just want to pay for it, pick it up and get out of dodge. If they actually had a bit about them to apologise with a small gesture of goodwill I am sure things would be a little more harmonious.

Just had a call from my dealer, can pick my 19 plate and car is due to be delivered from Grimsby early next week. I should be good for 1st March. Anyone patientally waiting for March delivery give your dealers a buzz, they’re starting to make their way from Grimsby.

Had contact from my dealer this week saying 3 weeks but no firm delivery date. We are about to step into the registration process too. So I take that as a positive.

I wonder if the shortage of Jimnys suits Suzuki? They must have been aware of the upcoming stricter EU 2020 CO2 emission regulations and that the Jimnys 1500cc engine sits outside them . They probably thought that after the the hype of the initial unveiling they would continue with the small production of 1800 units a year in the UK which will assist them to not exceed the overall company CO2 emissions target? I would assume that if they can keep the company CO2 emissions within the targets they won't have to replace or re-engineer the engine? Just my thoughts and ramblings...
