AUGUST orders list & thread.

[James Gould]

...and your guy, Snoops, promised you the car by Dec, did he/she?

[Snoopy]

Well promise was not the exact word when i think about what was exactly said and then written in the contract 
My contract which is in front of me does say "We anticipate that your vehicle will be available for delivery by end of Nov, early Dec. Subject to no factory delays"
They don't actually state what year that nov or dec is in. I assumbed it would be 2009 but you know the saying 'assumption is the mother of all f**kups'

[James Gould]

Well, Snoops, 3 points from tonight's game and we'll feel a bit better...

called VW directly yesterday to be told bw21 uncomfirmed...I said to the guy sarcastically, so a this rate it might be next year and they said no no it will definately be this year.....getting the dealer to crank up some pressure but am starting to look around as the wait is just boring now...wunking fankers, the lot of 'em.....

[James Gould]

29 Aug!?!? I'd have cancelled by now - that's just outrageous - you probably feel that the longer you wait, the harder it is to cancel but surely the Gti isn't the only car that'll make you happy - I wouldn't want, if I were you, to pay all that money to a company which had treated me so badly

[JJH]

James, it aint so bad, the car was expected January to replace a company car, they have given me a loan so it's saving my firm £500 per month. The thing that really winds me up is the continually extending delivery date. To have expected it in Jan and now mid March they still cant tell me it's confirmed is just shameful. If the car is built mid June and delivered in July, they would have shelled out four to five months and it will have cost them around £2500. You would have thought the fact the delay is costing them £500+ per month would hurry them up. I'll be hearing from the dealership tomorrow and if they cant confirm an improvement I'll cancel and look elsewhere or alternatively force an improvement to the model of loan car I have.
Another thought is to force them to allow me to give the car back after three years starting when the car should have been delivered...If I was paying for the car myself I would have dropped them ages ago..

Ordered August one year, delivery July the next - what a larf.

Maybe VW will give you an award for the most patient customer !

[James Gould]
