📅 Fatboy Dave's Order History

04/04/2024 : Contacted dealership they recon they have a vin number and the vehicle ‘should’ be available early May - we will see what May brings !
16/04/2024 : Vehicle is at the dealership I’m collecting it this week !
22/04/2024 : Car looks great and preforms really well - but,
Does not come with built in Sat Nav, centre consul or those grab handles above the doors, it does however come with a stupid (for a family vehicle) iron mesh bulkhead.
And be warned any UK customer wanting to buy one:

Petrol & diesel versions of Berlingo are homologated as light goods vehicle under 3.5 tonnes, due to having a mesh bulkhead.
Therefore:
* Like LCVs, this vehicle will be subject to a speed limit of 50 mph on nonresidential single carriageways, 60 mph on dual carriageways, and 70 mph on motorways.
* The vehicle will show as an LCV on the V5 registration document. Customers may also be required to pay the higher LCV toll road charges (where appliable). For example, the VED will be charged at the fixed rate per year in line with other light commercial vehicles under 3.5 tonnes, rather than being based on the CO2 rating.
* Berlingo will have a mesh bulkhead behind the second row of seats. This will result in a slightly steeper backrest angle for the row 2 seats as compared with e-Berlingo passenger vehicle (18° vs 23°

ordered since 26/01/2024 (18 months)

Awesome news. Can you confirm for me the e rake system rather than handbrake when you get a moment? The new one I saw in my dealer was an ice manual and (I'm told) a demo model. But if yours has one too then I'll be well happy. (crippled user here)

Hey Armoured_Dave from one cripple (the reason for the Berlingo) to another ! I can confirm there is indeed e brake system which can be used manually by switch or automatic - start engine move off and it automatically disengages - switch engine off vehicle goes into park and puts handbrake on - niiiiccceeee !

Initial delivery period of 5 months

Fatboy Dave had chosen the Citroën Berlingo, a highly sought-after model, on 11/11/2023. At the time of purchase, he was given a delivery date of 27/03/2024. This represented an initial delivery period of five months, a duration quite typical for such a vehicle 👍

A delivery perfectly on time !

This timeframe could raise questions among future buyers about Citroën's delivery schedule management, especially for a model as popular as the Berlingo. Fortunately, Fatboy Dave's experience can provide reassurance on this point. Citroën handled it well 👍

In fact, Fatboy Dave waited 5 months

Fatboy Dave ordered their Citroën Berlingo in United Kingdom on 11/11/2023. At the time of their order, the initially announced delivery date was 27/03/2024, which was an initial delivery time of 5 months. In the end, Fatboy Dave took possession of the vehicle on 16/04/2024, which resulted in a waiting time of 5 months.
