According to my local scooby dealer I'm told all WR1 customers are going to be contacted by Subaru UKs director of sales (Sam Burton I'm told) with regard to telling the unimformed masses (including the dealers it seems) when they should expect to receive their car! Has anybody else heard this. Indeed has he called anybody yet?

 

Was passing my local dealer the other day (not where ive ordered mine from) and asked when they were expecting their 1st WR1 he rang IM and came up with the above, Lets hope they allocate cars according to when deposits were placed rather than the position on dealers own list as I ordered mine on 22 Dec, Anyone order theirs before 22 Dec ????? or am I first in the Q overall ??????

 

Apparently the person they will ring is the one on the photocopy of the driving license. So if your dealer hasn't got a copy of your driving license, (which I presume went to Subaru) you won't get called.

He told me the early orders get contacted first. Which means your phone will hopefully ring real soon! Let us know what he says! The wait is driving me nuts!

 

Dealer never asked for a copy of my driveing license just took £500 off me, best hope for the dealers sake that this wont make any difference to when I get my car.

 

Dealer never took copy of driving licence but required name and address to pass on to Subaru. Ordered my car at the end of January heard nothing apart from sometime in April.

 

Weird that. My dealer got explicity told to get a copy of the drivers license for every order they took. Good to see the subaru communication system is working well

 

I had to take my driving license in also...

 

They took a copy of mine. no news yet....

 

I got a letter (two days after the Autosport show - where I ordered the car)
saying something along the lines of "congratulations you are now the proud owner of a WR1" "we look forward to delivering your car in April"

Don't know if anybody else got this but hopefully I'll be hearing more news at some point this week

 

No news, but driving licence also required.

Curiouser and curiouser.

will you all have ***** in hand when he calls?

<zip flame suit on>

 

PMSL!

Can't hold phone, w*nk and write the delivery details down at the same time.

...unless you're a clever dick...

 

I heard that the queen is going to personally phone all new owners with a delivery date

 

i have heard you get your wr1 from the queen ......along with your 100th birthday card

Who said care in the community wouldn't work...

 

WR1 deliveries in April.... i think we have a

 

ROTFL @ Jza how true

My dealer suggested late June / early July more realistic.......

So August September likely

45 reg then sensibly

 

They took my license as well, was requested on the order form.
March 1st my order went in.

I've been having a little chit chat with Subaru UK.

Once the cars are in the country they have to be registered first before any of the modifications taking place. This I've been told should be a 2 week turn around.

Each dealer should get there first one by mid April and then each month after that.
So it looks like one a month to each dealer.

So mine bee the 4th order of 6 I'm thinking that it's not going to be before July, but I'll keep fingers crossed.

Never mind about trying to pull one off and write the delivery date down.
Keep one hand free and let the other half polish your gear stick, while you get then to repeat the delivery date a dozen times so you get it correct.

 

That's how I usually am, but then I am a chicken farmer.

Blobster, getting his coat.

 

No No No. Thats when you finish paying for it.

 

PMSL!

Subaru Sales Director ringing you all individually. Obviously make a nice fat wad out of each sale and so can afford the time!

 

SPEN555, a little envy shining through your comment, don't be so childish with crap comments!

 

Surely what a hands free kit is for??

 

I havent had a letter like a previous post says,has everyone received a letter concerning their order? wheres mine???

 

Gooner,

Seen as my car has all of what the WR1 has on it already and a damn site more I can't see how I would envy it. lol!

The only thing I envy is the profits IM make!

 

LOL @ scoobycar60

That's not for another 41 years

 

LOL @ spen555's comments


hawk

ps but secretly agree's 100% with him

did i say the quiet bit loud again

 

In order to satisfy Subaru (UK), I've had to:

1. Send a copy of my driving licence.
2. Fill in a Subaru Order form.
3. Send a letter confirming my order.

.............I have refused their request for blood!!

 

What about the sperm sample?

 

FYI People ... Spoke to my dealer today (who incidentally is the largest supplier of the WR1 in this country) and he said the claims that this sales director from Subaru will ring each indiviual WR1 customer are complete rubbish and totallty untrue. My dealer has been to prodrive a great deal over the past month and has spoken with Subaru almost daily.

Back to knowing nothing I guess!!
