Hi,
So who else is down for build week 48 (WB 24/11/13)?
I only ordered on 22/10 and was given this build week a week later!
Ian
-
Hi I have a BW48 now was a BW50 and been told to expect the car at dealer on the 16th Dec :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
-
Its all gone a bit wrong for me as my current 3 year deal ends July 14. The dealer advised me to order early because of the 25 week wait! I hope not to take delivery 1 March as long as I can afford the extra payments to cover finishing the agreement early.
Ian
-
Mine is build week 48! :-) It's finally showing on the tracker! Hopefully get it before xmas!
-
BW48 here too, but won't get the car till January 14 as Leasing Company don't accept any cars after 13th December...........
-
Hi I have a BW48 now was a BW50 and been told to expect the car at dealer on the 16th Dec :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Got email today from Dealer, requesting me to take my BMW X1 in for trade in by mid Dec, If my Gti has not arrived they will give us a loan car till it arrives......its getting closer... :laugh:
-
So how long from BW to Delivery am I looking at??? :rolleyes:
It's a Scottish dealer I placed the order from, so what port does the vessel berth at? :huh:
So hoping for a Xmas delivery :laugh: :laugh:

Spoke to the dealer on Thursday & he said mine was planned to be with them sometime after 23rd December......
-
Spoke to my Dealer yesterday ( Hawco Peterhead) they say theu are ecpecting my Gti to arrive around the 15th - 16th Dec :laugh: :smiley: :smiley:...
If the BW is 24,11,13 is there a slim chance they would start it early?? or is that wishful thinking :whistle:
-
been promised a courtesy car from next week from VWUK, they told me to contact the dealership afew days before to ensure car availability. Called my main dealer and asked about the arrangements for the courtesy car, they told me we do not do courest car and why have VWUK authorized a courtesy car you dont qualify for one..... :undecided:ahhhhh i replied, they said we have no record of this and you need to get in touch with vwuk and then call us back and tell us what they say!!1 I was fuming I said firstly you make it sound like im making it up, secondly VWUK offered a courtesy car without me complaining...
got on to vwuk and told them how embarrassing the conversation with my dealship was, they apologies , I told them that you need to contact my dealership and call me back to update me about the arrangements for the car.......not pleased!!!

-
Been told by VWUK now its build week start 17/11, and I should expect delivery Mid Jan...even more desperate to get courtesy car, I could sell my current car for decent money and cancel my insurance til the beast arrives
-

So they are building it a week earlier yet your receiving it a month later? How does that work?
-

So you by - passed your dealer to find out this info on the BW being brought forward by a week??
So if I call VW UK they might tell me differant from the tacker you think :whistle:
If that's the case I would be well chuffed with that responce :laugh: :shocked
would you have the number for who you called in VW UK??

Just been on the phone to VWUK and asked when the status of play is with my order!!!
The reply was.............................................after 15mins on hold,latest it will be the 1st week in January, so i asked is there any chance of it arriving before Xmas :whistle:.....and the answer that I was not looking for was they are on a skeleton staff so we very much dout it :cry: :cry: :cry: :sick:
-
Hi. Has anyone else had their order disappear from the order tracker today?
-
Hi. Just checked with dealer and the order has slipped to week 49 now.
-
Hi. Has anyone else had their order disappear from the order tracker today?
Yep, tracker telling me it can't find my order number :huh: .....I'm BW45 and according to dealer it's been built and in transit, but still a little disconcerting
-
Well the tracker works again and it shows BW 24/11/13. Sounds like week 48 to me :laugh:
-
Well the time is here for build to comence :smug:.....so fingers crossed they pull the finger out and get on with it :whistle:
The dealer phoned this morning saying that he got my Reg Doc's in the post for the private plate transfer to send to DVLA :wink:
Will be dropping my BMW X1 into the BMW garage next Thursday as the transfer box is playing up again, so will rather get it fixed under warrenty, before I trade it in just incase it back fires on me. so will be getting a loan car from BMW for 2 days till my X1 is fixed....then trade it in to Vw Hawco Peterhead, to which they are supplying a loan car till my Gti has arrived... :smug:
So it going to be a busy few weeks ahead all before Xmas :laugh:
-
Not long left now! With a bit of luck we might be getting them before Christmas... We can hope
-

Yes, that is when I'm actually expecting it, to be honest. :smiley:
Why do you think it's going to be so delayed? I was told by my dealer it would be the 2nd or 3rd week in December.

mine is build week 46 and it's not in the UK yet, expecting it at the dealership 2nd week in Dec.

Anybody changed to Build in progress yet?? :laugh:

Hi,
My online tracker still says build confirmed for this week. It will be interesting to see if it changes to build in progress or jumps to in transit?
Ian
-
Same here Ian, :sad:.....If I had my way I would have bought a Used one, but heho you only live once!!! nice Xmas present I hope....
-
Used us sensible but new is so special :)
-
Used us sensible but new is so special :)
Ian when did you place your order?, I placed mine on the 10,10,13 but got a cancled order and was lucky it was in Pure White aswell!!!
I have had a few Vw's & Audi's, but made the mistake and tried BMW and hate it, had nothing but problems with it...so looking forward to the Gti and fingers crossed it's as good as fellow gti oweners say it is :smug:
-
Hi
I ordered mine on 22 October. Seem to have done well eh :grin:
-
Any movement today guys?? :sad: regarding the tracker?? :whistle:
-
Hi, No the tracker still says build week confirmed 24/11/13 :undecided:
-
Hi, No the tracker still says build week confirmed 25/11/13 :undecided:
A few of the BW46 guys were stuck like this during their BW, then it skipped 'Build in Progress' straight to 'in transit'…. so you may just get lucky :wink:
-
Just checked the tracker & mine say's "In Transit" it skipped the "Build in Progress" section.................... :smiley:
-
Great news :). Mine still says build week confirmed for this week :s
-
Mine still says build week confirmed too....let's hope it's in transit! :wink:
-
Hope so. Although there are still 3 more build days of week 48
-
Remember folks, there is also a 2 week period where production stops for staff holidays :) plus UK transport and the shipping companies need time off too.
-
Very true. At least our cars shuld be built this week. I plan to take delivery 1 Febuary anyway :)
Ian
-
Hi. My dealer checked their system today and build has not started yet. Fingers crossed :)
-
I emailed my dealer too and his reply was this: "It is still in build will be here december it will not be updated until next week as they only started building it on Sunday"
Not too helpful really! His lack of grammar is annoying too! :undecided: I get the impression he doesn't really care but guess he probably has a lot of people nagging him for details...
Also, on the tracker it states it takes about 30hrs to build a golf spread over 2-4 days. If it started on Sunday then surely it should be built by now! :rolleyes:
-
Been reading this forum since ordering my GTD and thought I'd finally register...
I've got a 5dr GTD on order with DNS Pro on build week 48. Interestingly it jumped from 'build week confirmed' to 'in transit' on Monday. Yesterday the tracker changed to 3 weeks.
Excitement is not the word!

Welcome to the forum! :-) I wish my tracker would jump to 'In Transit!' lol 3 weeks....so pretty close to Xmas! It's cutting it fine!
-
I have to admit my dealer has been really good, emailing me screen shots of his production process screen. I did call Vw this afternoon just to check and was informed my car is at build stage 1 whatever that is.
-
That's mine jumped to in Transit.....get in there :laugh:
-
Still showing to be built this week lol
-
Mines still on build week confirmed.... :sad:
-
Same here, I'm guessing it will just go straight to In Transit, and "miss out" the Build In Progress step.
-
Tracker now says my car is being built and will take about 4 weeks to reach the dealer...it's going to be late then and not before Xmas as promised! :-(
-
Mines just changed to the same. It may already be built. The tracker updates on Sundays I believe :)
-
I think we can only loosley trust the tracker. Why can't they give us the same info the dealerships get?!
-
Hi guys, how we going to know when our Gti's are on the boat or dock side? :undecided:
-
I would imagine they will be dockside early this week :laugh:
-
The tracker is showing in transit now :)
-
Great news Ian, fingers crossed they are on the boat shortly :tongue:
-
Mine is showing in transit too! :-) Looks like the tracker isn't just updated on Sundays.
-
Just called VwUk and been told my car arrived at Emden this morning waiting on boat :laugh:
VwUk said it will take 10 days to arrive in the UK but that's the worst case :whistle:
So it's cutting it fine for. Xmas delivery!!!

Fortunately not too many ice-bergs in the North Sea at this time of year :laugh:
-
Spoke to VWCS - my car's been sitting in Emden since the 29th of November. Apparently can be at Emden for up to 14 days before getting shipped. They didn't give me a shipping date.
-
Hi. Mine got to Emden yesterday :)
-
Are you guys calling VWUK to find out this information? Can someone give me the number? Cheers.
-
I actually went through their twitter handle @VWUKHelp and then emailed them at twitter@volkswagen.co.uk - they replied within 20 minutes.

I am ment to be back in Angola on the 17th Dec, so am praying its here, but not looking good :cry:
-
Anybody else sitting at Emden :wink:.....
Am looking for one of these MDI cable for an iphone 5 :sad:....cant seem to lay my hands on one, I see there is one n ebay at £47 inc postage, or do i wait till after new year and see if the dealers get them in???
Mmmm....ebay is tempting!!!
-
which one is the iphone5 cable? i have a blue ended one :|
-
which one is the iphone5 cable? i have a blue ended one :|
Check out my post about MDI cables, posted today.
The blue cable allows music playback
The red cable allows music, album art & movie playback
The new iPhone5 cable I'm not sure it does album art or movie playback.
All very expensive cables.... :angry:
-
I thought all cars from BW45 onwards came with a lightening (iPhone 5) cable as standard?
-

Yes they do but I need a iPhone4 cable too. And I'm not sure if the new iPhone5 MDI cable allows album art & movies.
VW charge £70 for iPhone5 cables and £36 for the iPhone4 (red) cable. :shocked:
-
My car is also sat at Emden awaiting a ship..... :grin: another question which know doubt been asked in another thread, but what do we get with the car so I can check it when it's delivered by the dealer, I know the obvious like Manuals etc, but Media Cables, Key Fob covers etc, anyone know please ?
-
Hi,
Does anyone know when the next Sheerness ship leaves Emden? I have reached the obsessed car tracking stage lol
Ian
-
What about the next boat to Tyne??? Anybody got ideas when it's due to sail?
-
Well guys I received the phone call this afternoon from my dealer to hand in my BMW X1 for the trade in tomorrow. They are supplying me with a Golf Plus :huh: till my Gti arrives, which I was told today by VWUK. That I will have it by the 21st at the latest :laugh:, the dealer said by the way it's a diesel which will slow you down a bit!!!
Never mind, a quick clean tomorrow and all paperwork done so all smooth do far!!
It's getting more real now since the dealer wants my Beemer in for trade, a couple of more days with the X1 would be nice till after this snow clears :whistle:
-

I can confirm the iPhone 5 cable does show album art. I am just going outside (Any excuse :grin:) to try videos.
-
Yup. I'm in too. Placed my order at the end of August. Was told my GTI would be here end of Jan, but it's being shipped as we speak. Here's hoping I get her before the new year (although doubt it).
Damn shame I couldn't get the reverse camera on my order. Very excited!
-
My dealer seems confident I'll get mine by Christmas...
-
Well that's the BMW handed in today to the dealer, and now have a Golf Plus Tdi blue motion :smug:
Was told my Gti is on the next boat to Tyne, but don't know when that boat is!!!
The dealer said I will get my Gti on the 21st at the latest, so hope he's right, as everything has been smooth so far :smiley:

21st is what I have been quoted too! :-) Fingers crossed!
-
That's odd. I've been quoted 19 Jan :(
-
That's odd. I've been quoted 19 Jan :(
Jan is a more realistic expectation. I got my BW46 car this Friday, so add another 2 weeks which puts it towards end of this month.
I also think the factory stops producing Golfs for 2 weeks.
It's worth the wait folks. :)

Our cars have already been made and are waiting for the boat so factory issues shouldn't be an issue. I guess is depends where you live also. I'm in Essex so I guess that's pretty near where the boat docks....who knows.
-
Anybody know when the next boat should be leaving Emden?
-
Neckar Highway left Emden Yesterday and arrived at Grimsby this morning.
Schelde Highway left Emden this afternoon and is on the way to Grimsby (due 9am tomorrow).
Weser Highway arrived in Emden last night and should be leaving tomorrow, presumably for Grimsby too.
-
What a shame that none appear to be going to sheerness :(
-
None going to Tyne then :cry:
-
Will our cars definitely go to our 'local' port (i.e. shortest road miles from the dealership)? It seems that Grimsby gets the bulk of the ships - will they not just transport them from there?
-
None going to Tyne then :cry:
The City of Paris left the port of Tyne today about 3pm, on its way to Drammen (Norway). Looking at its usual routine, it will probably head to Emden in the next few days and then back to Tyne.
Track it here: http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/9174775/vessel:CITY_OF_PARIS?_=62ed8232ff7e88377a009f28fe9a5ecf
-
Any word on cars getting shipped today??
-
Really hope so hastd2. Im on ship tracker!
-
The schelde Highway ship should have docked at 0900 this morning according to the ship tracker ETA....however it is yet to dock and is entering Grimsby harbour port as I write this! I wonder if any of our cars are on this one!? I keep an eye on the tracker :smiley:
-
Autopresige is heading for Sheerness now, due in on 10/12 at 0700 :)
-
Just out of interest...how do we know these ships are ones carrying VW's?
-
I wouldn't keep too close an eye on the tracker lads, mine still says Stage 5 with 3 weeks to go, and my dealer has just confirmed it's arriving on a transporter with them tomorrow. Mine is BW47, so yours shouldn't be too far behind...
Speak to your dealer or VW Customer Services (08000833914 - open until 6pm) to confirm what the tracker says it correct.
Gareth
-
Good point Gareth. I'm just using guesswork and ship tracker software to come up with a possibility. Having said that if week 47 cars are arriving at dealers this week then there's a fair chance week 48s will next week :)
-
My car was loaded onto a ship today, not been told which one though. Possibly autoprestige assuming my car will be going to sheerness (closest port to where I live).
Tracker still says 'in transit - 3 weeks' though

I have just called vw and my car is not due to ship until Friday and my tracker sats 4 weeks. I'm still hoping its on autoprestige :wink: Did vw tell you your car loaded onto a ship today?
Ian
-
Where are you guys looking to find this "3 weeks" thing? My just says "in transit" and nothing else. I tried to contact VW via email and they are not getting back to me :cry: Tried calling too but got into a queue and couldn't be bothered to wait! My dealership is in Chelmsford so I guess mine will be going to sheerness too?
-
This is my VW tracker currently:
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6883/bqr2.jpg)
Is yours not something similar?
-
The VW tracker should show something like this - no?
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6883/bqr2.jpg)
Yeah mine looks like that but it says 4 weeks instead of 3! :sad: I thought people had some sort of time updater thing but this value is just static.

I emailed my dealership for an update. They apparently were going to contact me anyway...

Called my dealer this afternoon, he said that my car is shipping tomorrow and I should have the keys next Monday :grin: :grin: :laugh:

Hoping for the same!

Hi Ian, Mines just arrived at Emden by the sounds of it from my email from dealer. Although the tracker still says it's being built. How long has yours been waiting there?
-
Mine has been at Emden since the 30th, was told it was ment to ship to Tyne today, but still sitting there :cry:
-
The CITY OF BARCELONA is on route sailing to NewCastle........
Departed Emden -2013-12-10 14:39:00
ETA Tyne - 2013-12-11 15:00
so fingers crossed my Gti is heading my way :smug:

Tracker still says 'in transit' despite my car being on the UK.
-
Just been on the phone to vw uk..not good news. My car is still at Emden and apparently I won't be getting it until 1st or second week in January now! :angry: This is despite the fact my dealer said I would have it by the 21st December.
-
On the phone to VWUK and been told my Gti sailed last night on route to Tyne, so waiting on Dealer to confirm this and the name of the ship it's on... :laugh:
-
The guy at VW UK also said we shouldn't be calling them for info on our order but to always go through the dealership! Maybe they are getting a lot of calls... :lipsrsealed:
-
It's a small cost for them to answer our questions when we are spending up to 30k with them. The last time I called the guy said call anytime :)
-
They are correct thought, your dealership has access to cars stages and should be calling you on a regular basis to provide updates.
Mine called me on a weekly basis and couldnt fault them one bit. :smiley:
-

Congratulations! You will have a 2014 car instead of a 2013 car - you will be very happy with that come sale/trade-in time :smiley:

Hi Ian,
I'm not actually sure which port it is going to. I live in Essex so guess its Sheerness as that's the closest.

Hence the call to VWUK this morning to check for my self :whistle: and guess what :wink: the car was on the boat last night and should have arrived this evening...... :laugh:
So will wait and see what tomorrow brings :whistle:
-
Hopefully you will be driving it home for Christmas then haha
-
Here is my morning reply from my dealer - Morning Doug,
Apologies for the delay in responding but I was offsite at Elgin for meetings all day yesterday but the good news is YES the GTi has updated to showing "shipped" and as you requested the ship details - TYE725.
This should be receipted in UK today and car I expect will then be delivered to the retailer at the start of next week and we will have it ready as soon as possible when it arrives but this will take 2 working days for the PDi etc.
Good news it actually nearly here though.
Regards
David
-

I would assume the TYE stands for Tyne?
-
Aye I thought that Ian, but don't know what the 725 stands for!!!
I would have thought my dealer would have gave me the ships name at least :whistle:
Surly it can't be that hard!!!

Doh, I think thats the Port Name and Designation number and not a ship! :whistle:
Do you know when its going on the ship?
-
2014Gti I knew what Tye stood for its just the 725 that stumped me!!
My Gti was shipped yesterday heading for Newcastle so the only ship I can see on marine traffic is the City of Barcelona which docked yesterday at 15.00
So am hoping its on that boat!!!

Well the Gti has arrived in Newcastle, sitting in a compound, being loaded onto a transporter at 13.30 tomorrow heading North to Peterhead :laugh: :smiley:
Only way I knew this was once again a call to VWUK, which should have came from my dealer!!!
But VWUK said it will take 3-5 days to reach the dealer!!! WTF.... Where's he going via Emden again!!!!
Hopefully this time next week am driving my Gti :smug:
-
My dealer said it'll take 5-7 days from delivery to the dealership for me to collect because of TAX DISCS!

Nonsense I've been driving mine around for a week with no tax in the window... Only just arrived in the post from them today.
-
and good news that tax discs are soon to be consigned to history! tis pretty much done electronically these days anyway! :)
-
Correct, you can drive upto 14 days from collection date without a tax disc displayed.
Also my car did take the full 7 days to arrive at the dealership from Grimsby port.
It all comes down to transporter routes / allocations / schedules.

Exactly, the mother in law bought an SE and was just given a cover note. Will question them on that.
-
Your dealer should have this in hand, not wait 5-7 days.....I would be asking questions
-
They've said that I can collect from Wednesday even with that in mind so not the end of the world, earliest I could pick it up would be Monday anyway as typically am at work all weekend.

At last :)

Hi Ian,
Your images don't seem to work so I can't see what it is. I'm guessing its your ship on the way! I wonder if mine will be on that ship too?! My dealer is supposed to be getting back to me today as they reckon it will still be here before Xmas, contrary to VWUK.
-
Ooops sorry!

Ahh I see! :-) Is your car on this ship then? If so hopefully mine will be too!
-
Well the Emden has dropped anchor near to Sheerness, despite have an ETA of 1900 on 13/12/13.
I guess it is waiting to get in port. Will keep an eye on it today :)
Ian
-
Mine will be at the dealers on Monday :laugh:
-
Looks like mine will still be anchored somewhere near Margate lol
-
We'll the Autorunner has just left Emden heading for sheerness. The Emden is still anchored just offshore from Margate.
-
Ian has your motor touched dry land yet?

No change according to the online tracker. I have emailed the dealership today to find out more. WIth two ships arriving at Sheerness this weekend I should hope so :shocked:
Ian

I wouldn't go by the tracker. My car has been in the uk for a week yet the tracker still says it's in transit.

Phew!

hi,
I'm still trying to find out where my car is :cry: VW say in transit, although it appears the department that actually can track cars at head office, is on holiday! I did get a call back form customer service saying its in transit with no detail, which to me says they looked at the online tracker! Seems strange though as the last thing I heard was it was shipping on 13th.
Oh dear!
Ian
-
Update!! My dealer phoned and the car is in the UK and released to Stobart transport for delivery. It is likely to be delievered to the garage on xmas eve :grin:

Ho Ho Ho, didn't know Santa worked for Eddie Stobart! What a wonderful Christmas Present you're getting this year!!!
-
Exciting eh :)
-
Think my Christmas present will be coming a tad later. Suspect it's still waiting at Emden, as my dealer did say they'd look to see what boat it's coming on. Happy days ahead!!!! :grin: Get your photos up on here when you pick it up!!! :smiley:
-
Went in and signed all my finance paperwork yesterday. Car was in the workshop being PDI'd.
Pick up set for Friday!
-
Guys, mine arrives at dealer 2moro, am going through to sign paperwork so might see it at the dealership
So looking like a Friday/Saturday hand over :laugh: :smug:
The wife said can I have a big red bow on the car when we pick it up!!!...Eh not a chance :huh:

Sure will. I am going to wait until 1 Febuary to get the car I think. Worth avoiding the January weather though eh?
-
Well the tracker still says "in transit" (3 weeks) but told today it's at the dealers !! won't get it till the beginning of January now as the lease company won't accept any deliveries until 2014 now..........

Hi, Great news :cool: The tracker is pretty useless once it reaches the build week stage to be honest. Its a shame as it is such a great idea.
I bet you can't wait until January now! I have decided to wait until 1 February :laugh:
Ian
-
Your right Ian can't wait now, as much as I love the power of my Leon Cupra (240bhp) the fuel economy is a killer, 27 on average to the gallon on Super unleaded. Bearing in mind the car is 3 years old now & my mileage is just under 72k......
-
:laugh: :grin: :laugh: :tongue: :smiley: :grin:.....HoHoHo.....Santa has arrived
Phone call this morning, Doug your Gti was getting unloaded off the transporter when I arrived at work this morning, so it's straight into PDI mode and should have a Friday handover :tongue:
An going through at lunch time to sign any paperwork and have a good look round the motor to make sure it's top notch!!!!
Will take a few pictures guys
A very happy Gti owner so far

Have any of you lucky BW48 folks got access to VCDS to get the door mirror folding codes for post BW45 cars (with unfold on unlock facility)?
Thanks :smiley:
-
Well all paperwork signed and the 7 day insurance in place for Friday
Car looks great, apart from the transport protection.
So it's PDI & Life Shine 2moro, will try and get some photos up when I pick her up on Friday... :laugh: :smiley:
-
At last the tracker shows my car in the UK. I know the car is here, but somehow seeing it on the tracker in the UK confirms it :grin:
-
My order number is no longer recognised on the tracker.
Has it all just been a dream?!
-
Guys here is a couple of quick Pic's from the dealers yesterday......so picking her up the morn so happy days :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yes WOW! Even looks good covered in it's wrappings! :cool: Can't wait to meet mine for the first time, hurry up DVLA!!!!
-
It's arrived! The tracker changed today to say my car is at the dealers despite no call from them. I could not resist and drove over for a look, and there it is in their compound :)

Sometime in early Jan, hopefully within the first week. Going to have it registered in 2014 :smiley:

Im aiming for Jan 18th. I had a sit in the car last week. I want!!!!!
Ian

Mines still in transit. VW uk rang me and they said its still at the factory waiting for the train to take it to the port! WTF!!! How is mine so far behind!? Odd because previously they told me it was waiting for the boat about 2 weeks ago! Maybe something bad happened..... :angry:
-
I would not believe everything they say. It is most likely at the port waiting to be checked in. What does the tracker at your dealers say?

Hi,
I have emailed my dealer but have not had any response yet. Hopefully they will tell me it's on its way!
-
Hi,
Any of you BW48 guys still waiting for your car? Still no firm arrival date for mine yet :-(
-

Thanks guys. Maybe my car isn't as late as I thought it was. It's weird that some people who's cars were built weeks after ours have received them already.....

Hi,
I went in and signed the paperwork yesterday, my car was being PDI'd at the time. Looks like I will be collecting it Saturday 18th. The excitement is kicking in now! I am going to give my Mk6 a valet this weekend as I am selling it to my mum! I feel a lot better about that I am not trading in a mint car, and keeping it in the family :tongue:
How is everyone else doing with collecting their cars?
Ian

Hi Ian,
Sounds like you'll be collecting your car a similar time to me. I too signed all my paperwork on the 10th. My car is yet to arrive at the dealers but is in the uk at least!
Had to check the paperwork extra carefully as I had the sales manager and he tried to make me pay more when I originally signed the deal to purchase the car....and he did it again! Mental! I had my original quote with me and said make it the same as this! He went back rather sheepishly and sorted it out. I would have payed over a £1000 more so anyone signing the finance sheet check it VERY carefully! (His trick was to say that my monthly payments were now £9 a month lower so was great...however my final balloon payment had gone up over £1000! Really not sure what he had done.
Also due to my car being delivered late I managed to blag free alloy wheel cover for 3 years! All ways worth trying to squeeze a little extra in!
I'll be collecting mine next Monday as my work schedule won't allow me to pick up over the weekend :-(
I'll be part ex-ing my Astra coupe SE2 which I have looked after very well and still like the car but can't afford to keep both. Not getting much for it on the part ex but tried to sell privately and didn't get many bites. I guess Christmas time isn't a great time to try and sell a car. Haveing 125k on the clock probably doesn't help either. I'll be sad to see it go as I've had it for 9 years! :cry:
