ED35 - shipping almost

[Flying Haggis]

Found out today why there has been a delay. Car was vandalised in Emden, someone nicked the Satnav and couple of other things...! VW looking to do some good PR for me, what do you reckon I can get away with? Full tank is already done...any others?

They have pulled another one off the line for me, without cruise control, but they can fit that at the stealers.

Even though its not their fault, I'd be wanting more than a full tank at the very least id want an ED35 Keyring 

I'll stand back now and watch the fireworks....

Oh dear that is very unfortunate but at least you will get a replacement.

As they are pulling one off the production line there will be no chance of getting any other factory options unless you went for a set of wheels? Suggestions for compo, free servicing for 3 years, Gap insurance (if on finance), Autoglym protection, perhaps look at the accessory brochure?

Bloody hell, at least they're sorting you out though. I half expected you to say they would repair the car and give it to you. In fact, I'm surprised they didn't try to do that without you knowing! Perhaps this is where all of the sat navs on eBay from Lithuania come from.

Just ask them for a cheque for £XXX whatever you see fit. I'm waiting for a cheque from my dealer for a problem and also a full tank of fuel next time I'm that way.

Flying Haggis, that's very unfortunate pal but a least there sorting it out....I hope the new one is getting priority shipping..

To be fair to vw, it's not their fault and the only problem you've got is a delay, many people experience delays when waiting for a new car, perhaps they could give you the cruise FOC as it's only ~£170 as a dealer fit but to start making demands of compensation is a bit harsh imo, at least you don't have to have the vandalised car although i'm sure someone will. Hope you get it soon mate.

But how much does VW make a year ?? so why wouldn't you try to get something out of it...

They offered a "gesture", and I think stealers playing his part well by screaming at VW. It's not really their fault...but it happened on their watch.

When you read threads like this and the other recent one about the nav units being nicked, and then see all of the bargain RNS's being offered for sale on ebay and forums you just think... hmmm... one man's bargain is another man's misery (or lady for that matter)
