Has anyone been offered any sweeteners from their dealer?

My dealer has been on the phone to my Mrs Today, the dealership have offered us free paint protection, free wheel and tyre insurance and a hamper as an apology for the car taking so long.
This all seems pretty good to me being as we haven’t really complained and I don’t blame the dealership.

All rubbish. I'd rather have the 3 year service plan included.

Better than nothing.

I've been offered 5%....of f7ck all 

[mcmaddy]

paint protection is something the dealer don't pay for anyway and depends what size hamper

Better than nothing.

Yes absolutely, sorry I didn't mean that to come over the way it sounded. I'm very sceptical of paint protection and tyre insurance. They are relatively low cost for the dealer. The three year servicing plan might be more valuable to you if they would consider it.

To be fair the OP's dealer sounds like one of the better ones. If the OP hasn't complained and the dealer has taken it upon themselves to offer a few extras then good on them for doing so

Don't think i'm going to get anything extra, despite being initially estimated as BW25/26 (before my dad's car jumped the queue), confirmed for BW33 and being built at the start of BW35.

I suspect any goodwill gestures will be coming out of the dealership's profit margin rather than VW UKs - VW UK have historically accepted blame for feck all.

My thoughts exactly.
