It's a Europe-wide thing, especially if you want an auto. Unless you find a car that's not sold in the system you could be waiting 20 weeks or more, like me, even if the dealer tells you it should be about 12 weeks. If you are happy to accept the car "as it comes" with no factory-fitted extras then you'd be better off buying "off the forecourt" unless you don't mind an incredibly long wait.
My initial excitement has worn off and I'm so p!$$3d off with the misleading info I was given on delivery (and the 5 month wait) that I'd quite happily cancel my order if only I could find something nicer that I can afford.... and if the present car holds out until late-July. The present car is also a Renault and I bought it new in 1998 and was messed about with delivery on that one too. In 16 years Renault hasn't improved the way it treats its private purchasers and from my experiences and contact with their customer "services", they show no intention of doing so, and therefore hopefully the Captur will be my last ever Renault
