Four months waiting
Four months waiting, no car, no date, no communication.
I ordered an OMODA SHS Self Charge from the New Malden, London dealership in April 2026 (4 months ago). At the time of deposit, the sales executive was very helpful and professional. He checked with his manager, and they both confirmed a maximum 3-month delivery timeframe. I specifically arranged to hand back my previous car based on that promise.
Fast forward 4 months – I have received zero updates. No calls, no emails, no letters. Nothing.
Today I called to check if I could collect this week, only to be told:
The car has not even been allocated to me yet.
They cannot give any estimated delivery date – not even a rough one.
When I pressed, they said it could be "2 months, 3 months, or longer".
What angers me most is that they are still taking deposits from new customers right now, despite knowing there is a shortage. That means they are deliberately taking people's money with no intention of giving a realistic timeline.
Because of this, I am now without a car and forced to spend hours daily on public transport to get to work – a direct consequence of their broken promise.
I had a similar issue with MG previously, so this is now a pattern I cannot ignore. I would strongly advise anyone considering OMODA to think twice – or at least demand a written, legally binding delivery date before handing over a penny.
