Week 36 arrived... But

[Nairn1980]

Hey all
Finally got the call that my week 36 had arrived at the dealer. As they were chasing end of month registrations they wondered if I could pick it up on Monday.

Having sold cars I've seen new cars arriving with all sorts of dents and bruises so I popped in to give it the once over.

Sadly one wheel has been kerbed! I went in and said to the sales manager who said "oh no I'm sure it can't be it's just off the transporter". I took him out and he was shocked saying it must have been the transporter driver etc....

So they've just put a new demo on the road so they're going to take a wheel and tyre off of it. I've warned them the demo must be very low miles and the wheel needs to be mint... We will wait and see!!!

So first impressions a bit scarred sadly hope handover goes much better!

Sorry thought with your user name being Nairn you might have come from that neck of the woods, one of the dealers close to there is Hawco.

Demo wheel?! Get anew one - brand new car, brand new wheel!!

To be honest we just want the car now. If I insisted on a new wheel they would end up taking it off the demo anyway...

tell them to order you a wheel an when it arrives take the car back let them put the tyre from the damaged wheel onto the new 1

That is what happened when I went down to London. There was a chip on the wheel and I just told him to order me a brand new wheel as I would not accept a demonstrator wheel. So it is ordered and will take 3 weeks. So tell them to order a new wheel mate.

Hard luck mate.  At the end of the day make sure that you end up with an identical tyre - you don't want to be left with a mix of tyre makes from day 1...
