Ammending a new order

Post by inlandknight »

Hi All,

I have recently ordered a new Scirocco R. However i now want the recaro seats included in the build. I rang the VW garage and they said that the order cannot be ammended, even though the car is not due to be built for another 2 months?! He said that if i wanted to amend the order we would have to go back to square one and start all over and loose my deposit.

Is this really true?

Many thanks

Chris

With my dealer you can change the order up until the factory has confirmed the build date and have done so.

Hi

Did you have a build date confirmed?

They said something about it being in "state 20" or something?!

Have any of you queried this with vw customer services? (it may be helpful to have your commission number from your dealer for this)

same here...build date confirmed :(

i think i will just bite the bullet and see if i can get seats added once i have the car.

I still dont understand why they cant change something (which is probably a few details on the system) as the car has not been built yet.

Because they have committed parts from the suppliers as "just in time" delivery. If they didn't freeze the build, the production line would be a mess with customers changing things.
