And even the cheapest one of those is only a few thousand less than a brand new one (discounted price, not RRP obviously).Yes, but there are 99 used T6.1 Oceans for sale on Autotrader alone!

They are still for sale thoughAnd even the cheapest one of those is only a few thousand less than a brand new one (discounted price, not RRP obviously).
And you get to choose the exact spec you want.They are still for sale though
So now I wonder what options on an Ocean make it more desirable on the second hand market?
Extended warranty, Pro nav, tow bar, shower connection, art velours???
Exactly. The secondhand market is priced too high now.And you get to choose the exact spec you want.
Rather than having to have it something retro fitted…
That timescale aligns with what I was told; what I was advised was circa 2nd week of July (ordered the second to last week of March), which would be similar.Did you go for a Surf, Ocean or Beach? I wonder if Surfs are coming through quicker (which some said was one of the points of a Surf).

That’s great news! I don’t think it will be long. Mine started build on 15th May and arrived in Sheerness on Monday - don’t know how long it was at Emden but it can’t have been long. He arrived at the dealer yesterday (Thursday) and we are collecting on Tuesday. Went down to Poole to see him today (awaiting PDI)Update; mine is now sat at the port in Emden "waiting for a ship" (progress is progess ). I wonder how long it will take to get from there to UK soil (where I then believe it has a 10 day KPI so likely to progress fairly quickly).

My starlight blue Ocean arrived in Poole yesterday or the day before too! Collecting next Saturday.That’s great news! I don’t think it will be long.

Exciting news!! I didn’t see yours there today - may be in their compound up the road.My starlight blue Ocean arrived in Poole yesterday or the day before too! Collecting next Saturday.
What was your build date and which dealer did you use?Lol just had a update my cali is waiting for dinghy at Emden!!
Yeah I ordered via Eurovans at the same time as you. Build date is this week but had to ask them for an updateWe placed an order right at the end of the spring sales event at the end of April. Ocean with a few options but nothing unusual. Went through drivethedeal and Euro Vans Crawley. Out of interest has anyone else ordered at the same time / dealer and had any updates on manufacture dates yet? Was originally told end of July but thought I would get a build date soon if that was the case. Feel like a total kid at the moment waiting for Santa!!! Plus I am running out of room in the spare room for all the stuff that this forum advised me to buy!!!
Thanks I will give them a callYeah I ordered via Eurovans at the same time as you. Build date is this week but had to ask them for an update
I wouldn't bother calling them until the end of this month; I expect it'll get a build date allocated very close to when it gets built (that's what happened with mine), until that time they don't know anything. I expect yours will get built the second half of this month into the start of July.Thanks I will give them a call
