new car but no warranty

[Schuey]

What MOTORPOINT say on their website is & I quote:

Vehicles are supplied with balance of manufacturers warranty where available.

Does your receipt from them state any manufacturer warranty terms? 

If so & VW are not agreeing to that then you should be able to hand the car back to MP as it was mis-described.

Thanks for all your help and advice.

I think I have got this resolved going straight to VW UK. All they need is the V5 which is what i thought. When i said that my local dealer wanted the Service book they were lets just say 'surprised'

Just another case where a local delear either doesn't know what to do or doesn't want to help. I suspect it was the latter.

the car was registered in Aug 08 apparently so the warranty should Aug 2010.....

Yes, but when was it built?  On what day did it leave the factory gates at Wolfsburg?

If you PM me your VIN number, I can look up these two exact dates.

[Teutonic_Tamer]

Yes i understand that. The car was manufactured in 2008 and the VIN number indicates this as well (thanks no golf clubs btw)

Not necessarily, the 10th digit of the VIN only indicates the 'model year'.  It has bu&&er all to do with when the car was actually built, nor when it was PDId, nor when it was registered.

So, IF your car has an 8 as the VIN 10th digit, then it could have left the factory gates as early as June 2007.  If that is the case, then it has probably been sitting at Grimsby docks for the best part of a year, soaking up all that salt spray.

ah i see! Well after speaking to VW UK the car was first registered in Feb 08 so i have around a year left of the warranty.

But do you actually know when your car was built?

[flyingzard]

nope

Are all Motopoint cars imports?
Do they all come with warranty??
I was looking at a ED30 with 6 miles on the clock the other day, but wouldnt touch it if it wasnt covered by warranty!
