What would happen if the dealer was to phone you and say the car was ready to be collected and you told them you were out the country for 4 weeks with work commitments?

Is there an awful lot they could actually do to force you to collect it?

Thats just the thing, I am out of the country and not back until 15th Feb. From what my dealer is saying I get the impression If I don't collect then they will return my deposit to me ?

Officially taking ownership early (as late as they can allow – 50 days after delivery to dealership) and starting your finance a month early but leaving the car with them for safekeeping is an insurance minefield too that may be difficult to overcome. Can you get insurance for a car not in your care? Can they cover insurance for a car that isn’t officially theirs when there is no reason for it to be there (warranty/servicing work)?

Hey Guys,

Something of a result ... after the intervention of the Exec Office the dealership have agreed to hold the car for me despite the 50 day rule which is true as verified by the above office and VW Customer Services.  I think the only reason why they will hold it for me is due to the fact on my order form next the delivery date it clearly states 1st March 2014.  :grin: :grin: :grin:

So good news ... Great deal, Happy with the Spec despite not having the camera and I will have it for the 1st which is cool as its a Bday present to myself. ha

That's great mate. Shame you didn't get the camera but as has been said, it's probably a little bit of a gimmick anyway (or alternatively, I've wasted £165 on a noisy boot badge!
