Stan69 - it’s worth the wait, had mine a week now and 350 miles in and I’m very pleased with it, an excellent motorway car and the mega box is much more than just a gimmick. The painful 6 month wait is long forgotten now!

Enjoy the first drive, for me picking up a new car for the first time is still one of life’s greatest pleasures!

Ordered mine Jan 22, expected June then got a call from dealer saying production was completed on the 19th of March, expected delivery 30th of April. On the 25th of April I was advised that there were delays with transportation so the new delivery date would be the 18th of June. On the 4th of May I then got another call from the dealer saying the car was still in Romania again citing transportation issues potentially due to the situation in Ukraine. No delivery date given at this point, considering cancelling order as I need a car from June.

this sounds similar to my case, although my car was completed on 9 March and shipped on 22 March. citing situation in Ukraine (I am myself from Ukraine originally) is kind of ridiculous. Production delays is one thing and understandable from that perspective,, but they are not explaining how it affects the shippment exactly. What’s more enraging is that there is no clear Ford orders’ queue. Clearly, some cars are getting shipped to the UK. Many on this forum have had their cars shipped and delivered within this time frame, having ordered later…. Very frustrating and does not sound fair at all…

Mine is so close yet so far. Has been sitting at Liverpool since 6th April waiting to be transported to my dealer in N Ireland. Pushed out EtA now 4th June due to problems at the docks

Similar story here. Car ordered 25th October and predicted delivery date was April. Car was actually built on the 16th March but update from the dealer this week is that currently it is still in Romania. Possibly July delivery now!!
What's even more annoying (although not particularly surprising), is that the original px price for my trade in is not being honoured and the deal will be reassessed when the Puma arrives. By then my settlement will be less so this may soften the blow but there's a high chance I may walk away from this car.
