The valeters have advised me that if they jet wash it only, it’s likely to leave swirls in the paint work with no polish going on it. They have also said that if they do a full valet there’s a chance it could have swirls in it but much less of a chance than just the jet wash.

Our guys don’t do professional detailing...............




Oh how I laughed  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: Pressure washing it can cause swirls??

So what they are saying is, they will jet wash it, it will cause swirls and they won't be able to put polish on to cover up those swirls?

And this is the guys that are preparing brand new cars  :cry: :cry: :cry:

I'm pulling what little hair I have left out here...............the car I've ordered arrived at the dealers yesterday, I've tried to arrange to collect on Saturday only to be told they only do Monday to Friday hand overs, wtf is that all about??

I've got a lot on at the moment with work and my mother being rushed in to hospital on Monday morning so was looking forward to collecting the new car just to try and take my mind of things for a short while but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen. As it stands I'm not going to be able to collect the car until the end of the 1st week of May when I switch to my month of weekends at work.

Getting annoyed by the whole thing now

I feel your pain somewhat. Car has been sat at the dealers since Monday and I can't collect until the 19th due to work! I feel a little more patient now that I have an actual collection date tho.

Hope your mother gets better!

I really wanted a Saturday handover as well but had to settle for Monday. It is irritating but what can you do ? :angry:
To be honest, once I knew my collection date I was just happy to get the car.

I have never heard of a dealer not doing weekend handovers.

I'm sure they do but it's a busy day for them and if they can put you off until Monday, they will.
I wasn't bothered and I'm sure if you kicked up a fuss they'd fit you in, but that's not really my style :cool:

It's not really my style either but as I've got so much on at the moment a Saturday collection was the easiest for me, I haven't kicked up a fuss but the dealer says they will sort a Saturday handover out providing everything goes ok when the paperwork goes to vwfs and they get the OK by Friday evening, so fingers crossed

I was rapidly overtaken on Monday night by a 16 plate Carbon grey GTD. It looked awesome, you are buying something pretty special regardless of the handover day :smiley:

I didn't factor in them having to put the finance paperwork through because I have never bought a car through finance.
