Wait time after placing order.

Once your order had been placed how long did you have to wait for your car? I would have though if in stock a dealership should easily have it ready within 7 - 10 days. It's been two weeks for me and my dealer is still to provide a specific collection date

We placed our order 3 weeks ago and have been told that certainly for the spec we want (SportNav Auto with Safety pack and upgraded leather) there are no vehicles available to call off and will now have to wait for the 'new' 2017 model which will be no later than July.

I would assume that there are still some U.K. Cars either in dealerships or in distribution that if they match your spec could be available straight away. I don't think waiting until July is unreasonable for a factory fresh car to my spec and I'd have probably opted for the refreshed model anyway.

Edit: see yours is also a SportNav Auto with Stone leather ... so doubtful you'll get one until the new MY cars are available.

These two articles were posted on the Mazda UK website last year. They are probably still valid (although production is also now taking place in Thailand):-

When I ordered my CX-3 at the end of Feb'16 it had to be made to order due to the spec I wanted and it was finally ready for collection at the end of April. Now I gather the car is also being made in Thailand the build schedules may have reduced somewhat.

Similar to st3v3cx-3, we had to wait 8 weeks for our car as it was made to order, this was in April - June 2016.

Next stop the dealership for a conversation. If I have to wait so be it, but I need to know for how long. In the short term I may have to move my plans for an MX-5 forward, which will be no bad thing

Hi.

I guess I was lucky then as on the same day I made the deal over the phone and my PCP agreement went through, I was even given the choice of plate number and all. So I already have the plate number.

Good luck.

I was lucky as they had my spec in stock so a few days later it was all mine

Move those plans for the MX-5 forward anyway. Summer is here and you don't want to miss it!

Just been told by our dealer that our Sport Nav will be delivered "some time in August"

So we told him that if it isn't before we go on holiday then keep it until the new reg in September as we need a larger car than my wife's current Toyota to go away with, but my Range Rover is 'too big'.

I think that focused his mind a bit, especially as they will desperately be trying to get sales completed before the reg change to keep their sales quotas up. So it went from "end of June" to "early July" to now being "sometime in August"! Ah well.... thought I'd had enough of this vagueness from car dealers with Land Rover.
