New Jimny waiting list

I’ve been reading the forum for a while and also been into a couple of dealers and was basically told come back in 2020.
I tried another one on Wednesday and I’ve managed to get a cancellation, whoop, whoop!
So if what I’m told is true, then in a little over 2 weeks I should have a lovely Jimny in blue - the exact one I wanted:) , however reading some of the stories on here I won’t hold my breath, but let’s see, I can’t wait.

Lucky you! I'm not sure that all those that registered an interest last year, put their names down on waiting lists, paid holding deposits and have waited patiently to be allocated a car will share your joy though.

yeah, I fully get that, the really weird thing was I could have picked from 3 (all due in 2 -3 weeks), although I was stuck with what the others had ordered (extra's), but as soon as he said blue, then it was deal done.

Call from the dealer this morning. My Silver SZ5 has finally arrived. Hoping to collect tomorrow. Sounds like they are starting to filter through.

Wow. That's really lucky. I placed a deposit back in August last year..... was holding out for a blue one but my dealer has only had Black silver and white ones so far. This next batch of 3 is White silver and a Kenetic Yellow. So I decided to have my second choice of the Yellow..... and that is not due till June /July. So to get the colour you want and without having pre-orderd etc is a bloody miracle. Well done. Enjoy the car.

Thanks.

I managed to find a dealer with a blank waiting list late December 2018. I was lucky because they were advertising their blue demo on Autotrader which I tried unsuccessfully to buy from them. So after talking to them I became the first on their list. I wanted a SZ5 but they said I would have to accept the first car they had delivered, Lucky for me it was a SZ5 but our colour preference was blue or kinetic, however I am very happy to accept silver.

I understand how lucky I am. I have chosen not to have any extras fitted so I can at least get my hands on the car and start using it.
