Ours is built and should be with us in the next couple of weeks. I hope it's worth the wait!

Went into a VW dealer yesterday. Lead time is now 12 months minimum. Depending on the precise spec possibly longer. 

Today a Ford dealer. Minimum 6 months. Dealers are not taking orders for the Ford Focus at all. 

Used vehicle prices are as a consequence rocketing. With some low mileage used cars selling at above retail list price for new. 

Been like this a while. Not all VW cars are 12 months though. Depends on the model. 

VW sources parts made in factories in the Ukraine. Supply chain disruption. To add to the other existing woes. 

Yep for some of their cars. Which is adding to the semiconductor shortage. But it’s model dependent.

Ukraine part is why Ford are not taking further orders for the Focus.

I think all makes are affected badly. I just took delivery of the new model Qashqai and that was ordered last September so 7 months. At the time of order was quoted a Xmas 2021 delivery!!!

My new Volvo delivery has been pushed back by between 3 and 6 weeks, so will now be some time in May rather around 20-Apr.  

That'll be over 7 months from order.

I imagine all VAG group cars will have much longer waiting times ever since they lost around 4,000 cars when the Felicity Ace went up in a puff of smoke and sank.

The problem the Scala has is I thought it was going to replace the Fabia but the Fabia is still there and I can only assume sales are not matching expectations.

Some good discounts to buy now and I would assume on the forecourt so it might be worth ringing around if the wait is a pain.

See autotrader.

Bought the missus a Kamiq in January and swithered long and hard between the two.

The Scala, as has been said, was to replace the Rapid and give them a Golf alternative (the Octavia now being quite a bit bigger).
