So after a 3 month search for the perfect GTI, i finally purchased on 07 plate Tornado Red GTI with the following options from a dealer near me:
DSG
Bi Xenon headlights
Multifunction steering wheel with paddleshift
Sunroof
Centre armrest with 6 disc CD changer
Cruise control
Luxury pack
Smoker pack (not used)
Storage pack
Parking sensors
Electrically operated drivers seat
18inch Monza II's
...and after 24 hours noticed the front door out of line, so I went to another VW garage near work, and asked them to have a look at it.
Outcome (after less than 5 minutes looking at the car) was that both drivers side doors, both wings, bonnet, roof and front bumper had been sprayed, but not to VW standards, therefore voiding paintwork warranty. Even slightly differnt red when you looked closely.
Even worse was 3 of the alloys were scuffed, and suffering white worming, again scuffs voiding warranty cover for wheels.
I was not happy to say the least. Should have looked more closely at the car before delivery, but i was told if there were any issues with the car they would be rectified before I picked it up. Lesson learnt there, not to trust salesmen.
What happened to the multipoint check???
Took it back and now driving a courtesy car (08 GT Sport) while they try and find me a replacement, of similar spec age and mileage. Can't see them finding that in a hurry.
Anyone had any similar issues with dealers, and did it lead to a positive outcome?
