Well my Yeti is in the country (Ireland) and at the dealers apparently but I won't get my hands on it until probably the 2nd week in January as they won't have it registered and on nice 12-D-XXXX plates until then.

They better not be ragging it about over Christmas or using it for test drives!

I don,t think they will. The car was probably delivered yesterday from Cork. Most Irish dealers finished up Yesterday (23/12/11) until 3/1/12. Your car probably just arrived on the 22/12 as the African Highway moored at 0500hrs on that day straight from Emden. Given that it has to have its PDI and that there are probably other cars to have this done also I think the 2nd week in January appears reasonable. I can imagine the first day back for in January for a technician can be a daunting task with sales staff on their case for new cars to be prepared etc. Also revenue in Shannon will be under pressure so the dealers have to wait in turn to get stat codes etc for new vehicles in order to register them. It could be worse, our neighbours in the UK have to wait months for their new cars. Which dealer did you buy from by the way?

Not always. I waited two weeks for mine. :-)

Are you perhaps the exception that proves the rule?

Moran taing. I think it's because I bought a petrol. The waiting times seem to be much shorter for petrol engines. Apparently its due to all the diesels being prioritisedfor china

It's a company car so its the fleet company that ordered it. I believe it was through Autostation in Sandyford, thats where the usually get their VAG stuff.

In fairness I'm not too worried about the wait....its been 4 months now so I can wait another week or two

What engine and spec did you go for?

1.6TDI Greenline Elegance

Thats the spec I am waiting for too from Arnold Clark Leasing through my work. Been told I will get it in January but not given a build week. That was a few weeks ago so not holding my breath.

Nice spec, the only concern I have is the lack of a spare wheel.

I can't change a wheel anyway!!!!

In my 14 years of driving I've never had a puncture

Plus the fact it's a company car so they'll be paying for any new tyres.

I'll put up some pics when I get it.

Thats the same as me so I just have to phone and a nice breakdown service man comes and changes it for me.

Nice work if you can get it.

Same for me. Hence why I'm not fussed about the Spare wheel.

Counting the 66 days now until I should have my Yeti Greenline :love:

The rest of us poor "private purchase" people have to call the RAC. Damn! ...

MARCH that will be good, ordered mine DEC last year turned up in May

That's interesting - when I was seeing my XF being built at Castle Bromwich, it was all the 3.0l petrol engines which were destined for China - the 5.0l petrols were mostly for the USA and the Arab states and the 3.0l diesels were for Europe.

The main dealer in Newcastle was quoting 7/8 months back in the end of October!

I ordered mine through DTD being supplied by Hayselden Doncaster

I have been given a build date of week 5--- anyone any thoughts when I might get it?

Any update, have you got it or is it still at the dealers?
