Long wait times on Citroen C5 X - is this normal?
I visited a Citroen dealer to ask about the new C5 X and was told build dates were showing around June 2022 followed by at least 14 weeks wait for delivery. Does it really take 14 weeks from factory build to delivery in the UK? The dealer was "embarrassed" to advise this and said "it is what it is" and no firm prices or delivery dates can be given.

Unfortunately, the global semiconductor chip shortage is continuing to cause long wait times for new cars and this issue isn't specific to Citroen. When we did a straw poll of manufacturers recently to find out current wait times for new cars and vans we were quoted anything from two weeks for vehicles in stock to 12 months for a factory order, dependent on specification.
