WHY ORDER YOUR NEW CAR EARLY?

We know how exciting it is to get a new car, and how disappointing it can be when delays occur. That’s why we recommend ordering your new car early. The lead times on our ordering website are indicative only, and in some cases, vehicles can take longer to arrive.

The lead time information on our ordering websites serves as a rough guide. After placing your order, we can provide a more accurate lead time.

We often have in-stock options available. If Zenith provides your company car or salary sacrifice car scheme, don’t hesitate to contact us for more information. We’re always ready to assist you.
