Spoke to the dealerr principle, he also said that they can take orders for the ED30 again. Sounds like they have decided to carry on the ED30 for the moment, since they canned the Pirrelli GTI at the end of last year.
He said that they have an allocation for 4 for this next year. However, they are having real trouble getting allocation slots for build dates. Mmmm.
I mentioned that they were only meant to be limited in numbers. He brought up the VW get out clause of
"The specifications contained in this brochure are for
information purposes only and are subject to change. If you
require any specific feature, you must consult your authorised
Volkswagen retailer who is regularly updated with any change
in specification. Please check model availability and full
specification details with your authorised Volkswagen retailer
prior to ordering."
How can they change it from a limited edition to mainstream model. I know that they can. When I bought it it was. Does it come under the description of goods act.
Description of goods
The trading standards team check goods and services are correctly described eg advertisements for holidays, houses and cars. The team look out for counterfeit clothing and cassettes and selling second-hand items as new. Complaints where businesses falsely claim to be members of trade associations are also investigated.
Consumer rights when buying goods
We all have rights when buying goods as a consumer, from a trader. Whilst there are several laws which protect those rights, the main ones are:
The Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended)
The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982
Whenever you buy goods, or agree to have a service you are making a contract with a trader.
The trader must (according to The Sale of Goods Act 1979 ) provide you with goods which are:
of satisfactory quality - this means reasonably durable, safe, fit for their intended purpose, free from minor defects and of reasonable appearance and finish
fit for the purpose - as well as being fit for the purpose for which they are generally sold, goods should also be fit for any specific or particular purpose made known at the time of the agreement
as described to you - goods should correspond with any description applied to them. This could be verbally, words or pictures on a sign, packaging or an advert.
