<goes off to get popcorn>

I wouldn't fight with Will he's just so..... Well..... Erm..... manly plus if I fought him he may not be my first borns godfather

ANN, sounds unusual to me, a small deposit is the norm?

What dealership is it?

Have to talked to Lee our official VW trader (Inscape group) as he's just done Will @ Carbon a mega deal on a new GIT?

Peace

Asker starts one of his usual "let's get everyone wound up" threads, but it just turns into Doc and Will having a tiff across the workshop.

<slips in before the doors locked>

Now I like popcorn.................... But I also like revels, but which one is best??

I'd say that was very mood and time of day dependant - revels can f11ck you up with that coffee one too

Certainly food for thought

Nice change of topic Willy boy

Hi Doc

Paid 1K deposit to hold the car, but they want full payment before they register it. I know when I bought last car from another dealer I paid when I went to pick it up so thought this was unusual. It is a VW main dealership in Buckinghamshire and they say it is what they always do :S

I've never paid for a car in full untill I've given it a good looking over. If you are paying with a direct transfer, or debit card, that's as good as cash in the bank for them, so should not be handed over until you take delivery. (IMHO)

That is just plain wrong, car will need a proper going over by yourself before you part with any of your hard earned readies!!

If I were you I'd tell them to go whistle. A deposit up front of £1000 is fine to secure the car but anything else prior to receipt is taking the proverbial.

Money all up front....maybe the dealership is not telling you everything....like they are about to do into receivership

sounds like they may have cash flow problems.

Most I've ever paid is the standard £500 deposit, then balance on collection. Done this a couple of months ago with the wifes new car....£500 paid to main VW dealer, with balance to be paid on delivery (9th dec)

Just been on the phone to them and told them I wasn't happy - (I can really do stroppy). Their excuse was they didn't want to keep me waiting while they did the tax on-line. I said I was quite happy to wait and that I would pay them on the day. They have backed down. Why is everything such a battle!
