Just put deposit on my Sealion 7

I had my lease approved and went down to see what they had in stock. I was shocked that they had the shark grey in stock. They have just sent me the forms to sign and it’s actually compliance 9/2025. I thought these cars had wait times, so I am surprised to be getting a 2025 model. Should I check to see if 2026 stock is coming or this shouldn’t impact me at all?

I've heard that the wait time on these is pretty good because they keep the extra stock. Yours came to Australia 4 months ago. I don't see an issue with that.

September compliance and no movement on stock is a little unusual, double check its not a demo and how many km it has. If it checks all the boxes and is the colour you want go for it. 2026 build you could be waiting another month.

It has 10km’s listed so definitely not a demo, I guess I was shocked that they had stock after reading reports

Thanks, I just wanted to know if I was being trivial before signing the contract they sent through

I signed a lease 3 days ago and was told there was 1 shark grey left in the fleet network. 4 weeks for delivery.

Should be fine then, being the $2,000 colour option it probably doesn't move in as quickly as the white (what we went with and had a 5 week wait for)

I had approval done via the fleet company and they advised me to go down and organise the car and then send them the contract details. Where in AU are you

Yea when he said they had 1 in that colour I was shocked but they had a number of black and white in stock

I had to wait around 14 weeks when I ordered back in Feb. They obviously cleared the backlog from the initial demand and things have likely tapered off

Potentially but it also seems that some dealers have them and others don’t 🤷‍♂️ I guess I am just happy I got one

2026 model way better for resale

I was told even if I wait for a MY26 model there would be no difference on its spec ! Salesman ??
