Anybody got any news?

After another semi snotty email, they informed me that the car should be there next week and ready the following, they will let me know when it arrives in Chesterfield.

I am sure that they said I would be informed when the car was PDI'd in Holland and notified again when in transit.

So now it is You will be notified when they get the car.

My fingers are crossed although I still have my doubts that I will see the car in the next couple of weeks.

Hi Guys,

   MP originally told me they would send me a letter 2 weeks before I could pick up my car, so when 3 weeks ago they told me it'd be here 2nd week in September I was expecting the letter about now....surprise surprise no letter.

When I contacted them today first they said.....no no we'll phone you to say when you can pick it up, also to get an upto date idea when it will be here go to our web site and use the ' Order Progress' facility which I did and 'low & behold' I'm now told its gonna be 3rd week in september !!

Last time I posted on here I was told by MP that I would be able to pick up my car by Friday the 31st Aug at the latest.

Imagine my surprise when on thursday afternoon I got an email to call them.

The bad news: It woun't be ready to be picked up on friday - in fact it hadn't even arrived!

The Good news: It is definately (as definate as MP gets) arriving on monday and they have the registration number for me to get an insurance quote over the weekend to start on Wednesday when I can pick it up!

So fingers crossed I will have it next wednesday and the wait will have been worth it!

I will keep you all informed of the progress!!

Regards

Harry

P.S. Anyone got a good company for insurers? Thinking of going with Direct Line?

[John007]

Thats good news,

Hopefully all the cars will roll in the next few days and we will be a smiley bunch of GTI owners,

Direct line quoted me £606, Bell on the other hand were the cheapest I could find at £400.

Give them a Bell they are an Admiral company so the service is good.

I hadnt had these sorts of issues when buying from MP - I think it's more an issue with the beurocrats at VW rather than MP themselves. At the end of the day you are saving thousands off the lists and believe you me it is worth the wait JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR ENGLISH HANDBOOK BEFORE YOU HAND YOUR MONIES OVER

I managed to get my insurance down to £360 with RAC insurance and £50 cash back(because I had road cover) = £310. Age 37, no accidents, no convictions and 10 years+ no claims.

Good idea to use 'Confused.com or 'Moneysupermarket.com' had some excellent quotes on there also 'Swiftcover' do good quotes.

[John007]

Thanks for the reminder on the English manuals, must remember that one.

Good prices from RAC, I am 34 with 9 years no claims.

Maybe give them a call when my renewals up.

[acwats]

Still no firm date ("car at EU dealer should have it in about 14 days") but I have been given a chassis no.

maybe there is a car at the end of this after all.

[John007]

Had a call from MP today saying that the car will be arriving tomorrow,

The reg number is **57*** and will be ready for collection next Tuesday.

 

That is unless something happens in the mean time.
