Ordered my eTransit in early Sept, dealership had issues placing the order so I finally had to go back to the dealer and see what was the issue (I'm a days trip away from the dealership) they managed to get the order in the system on the 19th of Sept, didn't have a clue about a cut-off date. Made a big deal about the fact that I was the second Transit order from their allotment of 3, paid my deposit and now I wait. At least they said it would probably be 8 months, so they are being realistic with that anyways.
