New car delay

[Lawrence22]

I have ordered a new car from early October. It arrived at the dealers on Wednesday. Initially I have been told that my car has been embargo'd, this is due to necessary changes the DVLA have to make for January 1 due to Brexit. DVLA are not registering any new cars from 24th Dec until 4th Jan. There is a backlog for registrations. Now add to this the 6 week lockdown closing all non essential business it looks like I'm not getting the car till February even though the dealer has it. Bloody nightmare.

I can't see why they can't get the car registered and to you by next week. That's poor if you ask me. Tell them you don't want it and see if that speeds them up. Nothing like losing comission to spur them on.

They insist they can’t and that their hands are tied.

They have offered me a loan of a car if I need one meantime, which I don’t.
