Re: Problems with VW

I agree, that niggle would always have been there.

I have no idea what I'm going to get next. At the moment for some reason, the sensible, boring part of my brain has kicked in and is telling me to save money. Although, I've still got maisbitt's offer in the back of my mind!

Re: Problems with VW

Hi guys, thanks for all the comments. Just to let you know that I handed the car back today! They eventually offered me a swap, but I declined. It's a shame to see the car go, but I had had enough really. There is a nice little video on buying used cars and the rights you have, I found it very usefu...

Re: Problems with VW

Thanks for the comments maibitt, very helpful. I'll let you know about your car. Well I worked it out that I paid about £1300 under the new price. I'm still waiting back to hear from them. The dealer asked VW for a report on the car on Tuesday, and they haven't contacted me since! I can't say I'm ov...

Re: Problems with VW

It would seem so. It just leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. This should be a very pleasant experience. You are buying a great car, from a 'good' manufacture. Surely they can't feel good at the end of the day??

Re: Problems with VW

Yep, a lesson learned there! You assume that if something comes from the dealer that it is all going to be ok, clearly not. They assured me that it would be in A1 condition.

Re: Problems with VW

Yep, used car with about 11k on the clock. It came straight from VW but through the dealer. They hadn't seen it before I picked it up either.

Re: Problems with VW

Thanks guys. Obviously the problem is that I don't really want to hand it back as I like the car. But I didn't pay for what I got which is frustrating when you are paying over £23k for something.

Problems with VW

Hi guys, this is my first post, shame it isn't more positive. I took delivery of my Pewter Grey 10 plate 140 diesel two weeks ago and I have to say that I am loving the car. Over the weekend I washed the car for the first time which allowed me the opportunity to get a closer look. I first noticed so...
