just a guide, £60 + £1 per mile round trip, so if you lived 100 miles away, £260.
Make them pay?

check this link out, only 50p per mile, could be worth a look...

Just make sure they are insured adequately!

Got the invoice now :smiley: and a quote for delivery,

£110 for the dealer to deliver it on a transporter, (free to get a bloke to drive it (i don't think so!)) not too bad really for transporter delivery if they got the post code right.

The next thing is how to approach it with VWcs/the dealer on the phone to try and get transporter delivery free?

Any suggestions from you guys who got compo how to approach it?

The Cars been listed as been registed on the 26th so a week today. :huh:

Why can't you pick it up?  Is it just a time thing?
If it is just time then chill, pick it up from the dealer and enjoy.
You need to fully inspect the car which is easier to do at the dealers and you will probably enjoy the experience more than having it delivered like some cheap ebay purchase.

Photos on collection please. :smiley:

240 mile trip there and then 240miles back, getting time off work, arranging for someone to go with me etc is the problem. I also wonder if i really want to meet them.
