Hi to all. Ordered my Salsa Red Coupe today.Pick it up in 9 days! Just so happened it was being built when l enquired about placing an order. It has the 3 things l really wanted, the colour,a pan roof and the switchable exhaust, which is mind blowing, as we all know.Foldable mirrors and the parking pack, and l, ve upgraded from the Velas to the Propellers, which l think look great.Not a huge spec but it, ll do for me
 
Well done, and you have no idea the anguish you've avoided! Only 9 days, what chance!<div> </div><div>I was also looking for a soon to be delivered, or show room or 2nd hand (or pre owned as AM calls these) car, but none in BRG with camel! So I had to spec a new car! Nearly 4months wait 😞 but now only 55 hrs to go.</div>
 
55 hours, its that bad waiting ha ha.Should,nt laugh. 4 months is too long. I waited 13 weeks for a Boxster.Not nice at all waiting. I could,nt believe my luck.And the saleswoman said it could be here sooner! I, ve a question already. The side sills on the design kit, Can you get them seperate as a dealer fit. Cheers
 
<div>Hi, and welcome to the FTOC...you are almost as jammy as winning the 'Spot the ball' competition!!!</div><div><br></div><div>Most of the members here, have endured months of torture from JLR as well as from fellow forum members, waiting and wondering over their acquisition..let me tell you that you are very fortunate....and I hope you enjoy your F-Type half as much as I do...you will be chuffed to nuts!</div>
 
Hi Deano - welcome and your so lucky avoiding the waiting - mine started with 43 sleeps !! it was was torture. All worth it tho - drove up through the Cotswolds yesterday - these F Types are just brilliant -
 
Aye. I seem to have been at the right place at the right time(for a change). Ringing uo tomorrow to see if its still on for next Tuesday. Was told it could come forward(would, nt have thought so) or be put back, but if its already built <br />, why would it?
 
Hi Deano<br />I was up in Northumberland just the other in my Salsa Red coupe, you spec is similar to mine. That's lucky getting yours in such a short space of time, I waited 6 months for mine.
 
Hi Lofty. Yes l could,nt have timed it better.l, m picking mine up tomorrow at 11.00. I can, t wait. Did you get yours from Stratstone Newcastle?
 
No, I had a deposit down at Newcastle but I found them useless so got it from Durham, they weren't a great deal better tbh. Great cars, crap dealers in my experience.
 
I bought 2 V8 Vantages from Houghton.Dealt with Chris Fox but he, s not there now, or l probably bought from them, if he, d still been there. I, ve had no problems at all with Stratstone Jaguar Newcastle. I drive past it on my way to visit my daughter, so l popped in and l, m glad l did.So if l see a fellow Salsa Red F Type l, ll flash you(but not in that way) Deano
 
It's amazing how the dealers vary- I got my Salsa Red V6S Coupe from Stratstone, Stockton and they were superb. I had tried my local dealer here in York (H A Fox) but they left me with the impression that I would be very lucky to get one as they could sell all they could get their hands on. They failed to let me know when a demo car became available and appeared generally disinterested with a 'take it or leave it' attitude. Needless to say, I left it and I'm very glad I did. Stratstone were vastly better and I will continue with them for servicing etc so you may just see another Salsa Coupe in your part of the world.<img src="http://www.ftypeforums.co.uk/images/converted_files/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" alt="Big smile" title="Big smile" /><br><br>Regards,<br><br><br>Scoobydoo<br>
 
Just chipping in the dealer issue - I dealt with Jaguar wolverhampton and they were brilliant - kept me informed all the way through the process and I was really impressed. This is in stark contrast to my previosu dealer experiences at Merc who were frankly useless and tried every trick in the book to avoid selling me a car !!
