I value people’s opinions and the wealth of knowledge on these forums too much for that  :smiley: :smiley:

At least the OP is taking it well. If it was me I'd deactivate my account after offering the whole forum to a bare-knuckle fight à la Ronnie Pickering



Liar you’d have been to busy ignoring your wife to polish the golf  :grin:

I'm sure I've read in the past on other forums that owners got the DtD dealer to pay for train tickets if they were collecting the car themselves, but it usually formed part of their opening conversations with the dealer, not just prior to picking the car up.

Personally, we've had five or so cars bought through DtD and collected all of them, some nearer but mostly 150 miles or more away and haven't asked for anything, but that was probably more a simple oversight on our part than anything else.

No problem in asking the dealer as you have nothing to lose.

I got my GTD through the same dealer via DtD.

Like the OP I did not want anyone else driving the car - so I said I would be coming to them to collect it and would they mind
putting some fuel in it for me.

They said - 'No problem - on the day, give us a call when you are near and we will collect you from the station' - which they did.

The tank was full and I was very happy :-)
