Delivery Mileage

[master_hayabusa]

Well actually everyone here is assuming that the car is dropped off to the dealership on a trailer. My local dealer said their cars get dropped off in a VW car pound. Then they are driven to the dealership. The distance from the car pound to the dealership is about 20 miles.

Then the PDI road test.

So I think in this case 25 miles.

Most if not all dealerships have a storage compound, mine is literally round the corner though.

Does this mean when I collect my gti it should have a full tank of fuel

1/2 tank is part of the huge rip off that is "On The Road Charges"

Just wondering where that 1/2 tank thing came from; the brochures states "on the road costs' as £438.33 as delivery to dealer, £20 for plates, £91.67 for VAT and first reg fee of £55 = £605. No mention of fuel. Last Golf I bought, they did charge me £20 for fuel on the invoice though!

Fuel is never part of the deal unless you specifically ask for it.  I always insist on the car being brimmed before collection, one of the first things I negotiate!

My mistake, I wrongly assumed it was part of the OTR charges. I still can't believe what a con they are BTW.

My wife bought a new Skoda Fabia in 2002, when she collected it the dealer 'zeroed' the mileage on it. He said that with all VAG products if you hold the mileage reset button for a while (it was about 30 seconds) it will zero. The mileage has to be less than 80 miles and it can only be done 3 times. It was a while ago so it may have changed.
