General Fiat 500 Delivery!

[Blinky3000]

Hey everyone,
I recently put an order down on a new 1.2 Fiat 500 Lounge last week and I was told my delivery can take up to 12 weeks. I'm new to this forum and have noticed some talk about build codes and can only get that we can track our orders is that right?

Just wondering if you can help point me in the right direction for me to check my order?

Thanks guys.

Hi Blinky3000

Check the following thread: https://www.fiatforum.com/500/174659-...fo-thread.html

I'm currently getting weekly updates from my dealer which is at Status 30

Hope this is what you were after.

 

[Blinky3000]

15th April (this year)......but that is for the Abarth 500.

When I ordered my Fiat 500 1.2 Lounge last year, it was at the beginning of April (3rd I think) and collected it from he dealer on the 10th June.

When did you order yours?

I only ordered mine on Sunday long time to go yet. It's going to be the longest two months of my life lol.

Went to my dealer last weekend and there is an estimated delivery date in the UK of the 4th August. Hope its at the dealer early enough for a PDI so I can collect my 59 500 on the 1st Sept. :worship:

I ordered mine on June 6th. The order sheet says it should arrive by 3rd September. I'm just hoping it comes before so I can collect it 1st September. After this long wait those 2 days will make all the difference............

 

[MissR]

Seriously?! I ordered mine on the 8th and was told it would be here by the 1st... hoping so seeing as they're getting my car on the 31st August when the tax runs out and I need to get to work!

 

[MissR]

What've you gone for Genevieve?

 

[Genevieve17]

Hi MissR,

I've gone for a 1.2 Lounge - Bossa Nova White, Dualogic, ESP, parking sensors, ivory ambience, black/white chequered seats, sports alloys, side rubbing strip with 500 logo. So excited just thinking about it!! I'm on a count down til 1st September, sad I know

What about you?

 

[MissR]

I've gone for 1.2 Lounge Pasadoble Red, Black ambience (black white chequered seats) ESP, Parking Sensors, Mats, Side Rub Strip with Chequered badge (to go with seats, lol) and may get roof chequered too

Loved the ivory ambience but could imagine it getting really grubby with me

I know what you mean I'm well excited! Start my new job on 2nd Sept but more excited for the car!

 

[Blinky3000]

Hey,

Well if you don't mind guys if you here any more from your dealers about delivery dates let us know. I'm living in Wales just to put that accross and was told early september too so lets hope they come on time or even early !

Ordered min on March 28th and I shall be going to pick it up next week, a full 12 weeks I am afraid!
Some people get the luck of the draw and only wait 7 or 8!

It's great to see all you prospective new 500 owners on the forum. You are very fortunate in being able to access the wealth of information on here that existing owners and Fiat techs have contributed.

It gives you a head start once you take delivery and hopefully also proved a benefit in helping to decide on which model and options to specify and even which dealerships received praise or otherwise.

As a lot of you are taking delivery in September with a 12 week window from time of ordering and I was wondering if the factory now runs at full production 24/7. I seem to recall that last year the production line shutdown in August for the summer holidays.

Does anyone know if this happening this year?

 

[t16ger]

I ordered mine 18th May and was told that it would probably be mid August. As of last week it still hadn't moved off the first status - I'm scared to phone this week! The waiting is horrible - I'm driving everyone mad To make it worse, I've asked if it is going to be mid Aug if I can wait and have it registered Sept 1 - purely for value purposes. Roll on September

Can anyone confirm that the factory has a full month shut down either July or August - one dealer told me this but the one I ordered from didn't know??
