I hope there's no topic like this already.. If there is, just..delete it 

When I order a car (that happened only 3 times so far), I really can't wait for a long time. I don't know why..I just want to have it as soon as possible..  I've read on the forum that some of you guys have waited a month, two or even more for your i30 to arrive. Because of that i have some questions regarding that issue. And..because it seemed to me that 2 questions are not enough (looked funny), I had to ad a 3. question  8)

So..here they are:

1. For how have you waited your car (i30)?
2. How long would you be able to wait for your car (normal car..not a car like Ferrari, Lamborghini,..)
3. How much money did your i30 cost?

In my case it was like this..

1. I went and ordered my i30 at my local Hyundai on the 19.11.2008 and received it on 25.11.2008.. So that means 6 days It was a looong week, but OK that's reasonable time for car to arrive 

2. I don't know..maybe for 2 weeks? 

3. My i30 CW costed 16.500 EUR.. (=32,290 AU$ = £14,685 - i think?)

There are various threads about his on the site but I reckon that depends on what you want and what you are willing to accept.

If you go to the dealer and want a certain spec and colour then of course you will have to wait for it to be sourced or even built, so you are creating to a certain extent the delay by your demands.

If on the other hand you spot one and like and order it, you'll get it in days

My answers then

1.  Ordered on Friday, drove out on Monday.
2.  Depends on above.
3.  £13,488.

I ordered my MY09 1.6 CRDi SLX 5-speed manual in Midnight Blue on 05.11.08 and got it on 24.01.09.  It took so long because of the strike at the factory and they didn't have exactly what I wanted in Australia already.  It cost AU$29437 (at today's exchange rate that is about 15,042 EUR) with window tint, floor mats, dash mat, rear spoiler, on-road costs, 12 months rego, full tank of fuel and delivery to my door in the woop-woops of Western Australia.  So far I have done 535km I think I need to get out more!

There is no way I could wait that long.  What happened?

I have been waiting 9 days so far, and the dealer appears to be actively trying to avoid me.  I have no idea how long I will be waiting.

They just didn't have the high end model I wanted, not many people buy that type, and I wanted the right color

1. 3 weeks. Delivery date was agreed to be 3 weeks later (estimated delivery time, for financial reasons I couln't have paid it earlier either), but mystically the car appeared next morning in the dealers back yard. So I could have had it next day if I had enough money in my pocket that day. But I didn't, so he had to wait for me for three long weeks...
2. I've once waited for a car for 3 months. I couldn't tolerate much longer.
3. 22 320 €. Including winter tires+rims and electric engine preheater.

I waited about 3days after shaking hands and it costed that handshake 24 500 euros to me.
Alloys and tires I bought few days after that and cost of those was approximately 1500 euros.

Hey Mims... I like the way you Europeans put things...

7 day wait last August, chose a popular colour and no extras. Paid £11k (about 12500 Euros or 24000 AUD) on 0% finance, dealer wouldn't discount price so had to haggle over part-ex value of old car. Much cheaper deals available now (plus better spec'd SE model in the UK) but at higher rate of interest.
