2019 Rav 4 - delivery - lead times - order to delivery

[DDA]

I spoke to my local dealer to check timescales then challenged back to the Fleet company.  Their dates were just general dates for most RAV4s rather than the specific model I had requested.  It’s just admin people in the fleet company that don’t challenge or ask the correct questions to the lease or dealer.  AWD vehicles are ok, 2wd are an issue now.

I'm due to collect my RAV4 this coming week, I was offered September for the new reg but couldn't see any point. I ordered on 22 May and was given a delivery date of 30 September to expect sometime late October. Standard Excel only extras are a wheelchair hoist. Towards the end of July I was told it was on a transporter ship and then on 12 August that it was now in the UK and I could expect to take delivery in mid September. Yesterday I was told it was ready but needed the hoist fitted unless I wanted to wait for the new reg. I now due to have it delivered between Thursday and Saturday next week.

This equates to 14 weeks from delivery to order for a no factory fitted extras 4 wheel drive Excel spec.

Melvin, glad to see you have gone for the Excel model, do you go on the Which Mobility Forum, we would like to know how you get on with the hoist and the RAV4 in general from a disabled person view. And Melvin is a good name, mine is Melvin as well.

Just placed an order for my FWD Rav4 Design in Galaxy Black with 18" black alloys & style pack. 

Going to be a company car through Leaseplan but have just been advised it could be up 1 year (!) before I get the car. Absolutely unbelievable if true, hoping that as I have not really spec'd it up that there will be one lying around somewhere 😅 either way, looking forward to it.

Hopefully soon. Just want to detail it first. The obsidian blue is amazing. Hadn’t seen when ordered. It goes from near back to blue to purple depending on the light.

A fellow detailer, I'm even keener to see the photos. Let me know what the routine was too. Are you a member of detailing World?

[Adrian Lavery]

Mine is Obsidian Blue, with black. The black gloss looks amazing and so easy to clean.  Have to say the paint finish is so easily marked and scratched. Want me to post some pics?

[marlinleg]

my Rav 4 was scratch lightly I thick holly  bush ???  There was a very small indentation But i removed it with bilthamber clay bar

[Ezcritique]

Yep... Ready for the pictures!! Not so good that paint easily scratched as I've gone for galaxy black. No doubt will keep me, as an amateur detailer, somewhat busy.

Here we go.

My company have kindly allowed to me to change my order to a 2WD Excel model, which I am very happy about. Just standard spec with no extras. I take it because it is 2WD the lead time is the same as the Design? Any info you have would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone have any idea on delivery times for the icon only extra is white paint, would have loved the design or excel but was limited to choice being a company vehicle. I think I must be the only person on here who has ordered a base model icon.

 

Thanks in advance

Ordered an Excel 4 x4 Obsidian Blue with Beige leather and  Premium Pack middle of June. Finally, I have just got an ETA Middle of November. Not happy as such but based on some of the posts I will take it. If it went (or goes) in to 2020 I would be looking to cancel as my A6 has gone back and I'm in a rental car! Keeping everything crossed it comes then and is worth the wait!

Hi all we ordered an AWD Excel on Friday, it was already in the system as the original customer cancelled there order, due to be delivered late December, if we ordered an  AWD ‘new’ it was going to be delivered in February and the FWD had a longer waiting time.

Is there a way to track the build and shipping like you can with Ford Etis. If so what will we need (VN number?) and a link to website would be great please,I hope it’s possible, many thanks all
