I called my local dealer (Middlesbrough) today- just to enquire if he had any idea when they might start receiving their first Zoe’s. I was amazed to hear that they already had their demonstrator!

Needless to say i was driving it around the city an hour later. Amazing car. So i started talking to them about putting an order in. I gave them my reservation details (i reserved in december #317) and they explained that they would go away and chase up the reservation so that they can link it to the order that i’m about to make.

I’ll update when i hear back. Vague estimate of delivery date when i pressed him was ‘august?’

I’ve been given a date of leaving factory on 4th June and expected at dealer by end of June, I also asked for a test drive and my dealer said they aren’t registering their Zoe as it’s for the showroom, but could perhaps let me take it ‘around the block’, which is not good enough, I want a decent test drive, I want to ensure it gives a decent range, with and without heating or A/C.

I’ve asked about PCP deals etc and I don’t think I’ll end up getting the Zoe due to the cost, I bought a Leaf earlier in the year which of course has dropped alot in price since I got it, but more importantly between the cost of the PCP per month and the battery lease it is way more than the Leaf, but the residual value of the Leaf after three years on my PCP is almost three times more than the Zoe, and I wouldn’t have the battery lease either.

I love the Zoe and would change it in a heartbeat but at the cost I doubt it will happen.

Like others I believed in the pre-reservation, I ordered mine’s on the first day of release and I am number 005 in the UK, but it meant nothing, all empty promises. I received a pair of Zoe trainers, and a notebook, as well as a model Zoe(not female!) just at Christmas time, we’ve had no contact from the dealer, or Renault, all contact has been iniated by myself including the chasing up, so much so that I have a current complaint in with Renault UK which is being managed by a customer service manager, definately isn’t good enough.

Yay! I’ve got a delivery date!

Boo! It’s the week starting August 12th!

If I’d’ve known last year I’d be waiting until August 2013, I think I probably would’ve got a Leaf. Oh well, I’ve got a date now at least.

Hi @deejay – when did you place your order and what model did you get? I have not got a delivery date yet and I ordered on Saturday May 11th. Did you have a pre-reservation?

I should add for delivery around the tail end of June.
