mixed news
« on: 23 February 2010, 15:32 »
Just spoke to the dealer about my wanting to change from 3 to 5 door Gti -  dealer said that it would mean my submitting a new order and that he'd be stuck with my current ordered car  -  I said I thought that I could amend the order at any time before the BW is fixed and he said that that's right but that he'd just checked and the date is now firm  -  are we in week 6 now? The dealer said that the car, as ordered, is due for delivery mid/end March  -  he's a good guy but maybe he didn't want to change the order (which would put the sale to me out from March to the summer) and my wanting to change the order brought forward the fixing of my BW a little bit?? that said, I was told 2 or 3 weeks ago that I could expect the car mid April so mid/end March isn't so strange....
...and just been speaking to a guy with an R (manual)  -  he loves it!

Don't take your dealers word for it. Call VW and ask them if your BW is confirmed.

I'll always help someone when I can, regardless. Now get calling, and if VW say your not confirmed then get back on to your dealer and make the changes you want, they have no right 'saying' you will go back to the end of the queue again. You can add to your order anytime, as long as its not confirmed of course.

....and call which department at VW to check that my BW has been, or is being, fixed? I don't want my dealer to know that I've been checking behind his back  -  Mike, you're not on the forum, are you??
