New Jimny waiting list

Just received a call from my dealer - my white SZ4 arrived last night. I've arranged to collect next Saturday

Dealer confirmed today that I have a silver SZ5 arriving in 5/6 weeks time - very excited.:silly:

My 31st January date has now changed to 27th March.

Not happy.

I hope Suzuki aren't moving things around to suit "more important" dealer's or buyers.

Yes that’s what they will be doing been there seen that

I did wonder how dealers would play it:

1 Keep existing loyal customers happy
2 See new customers as a potential new loyal customer (and hope the existing loyal would remain so)
3 Play fair and do as they said they would, and contact people in the order of deposits payed

I think my dealer has done #3, as I have never had a Suzuki or bought from that dealer before. When I paid my deposit they told me I was the second one to do so.

I'm just wondering how this delivery schedule really works? Suzuki marketing team create a whole heap of hype based on unique vehicle, scarcity of supply across the globe and dealers don't discount and want deposits. Go into a few dealers, have a chat and get a fairly consistent story. Then learn quite a few folk are losing interest when they see/drive the car for real, options to purchase are rescinded, Brexit/economy is blamed and I'm suddenly offered a couple of options to purchase after folk drop off 'the list'. Then some dealers seem to get cars very quickly and others seem to be getting delayed timescales. I'm beginning to wonder if some sort of 'game' is going on. The dealer I'm using apparently doesn't know actual delivery schedules which seems strange. I'd have thought that Suzuki GB knows what Jimnys are being built to what spec, when the ships are sailing/arriving and when they get delivered from the UK arrival port to the dealer? After speaking to work colleagues involved in international supply chains and logistics - I'm not convinced that the big Suzuki computer doesn't know exactly where my Jimny is?
