ARGH!!! How's THIS for frustration????

Car ordered beginning of August, no delivery date given (it's a lease car via Lombard). After a bit of scouting round myself, I find out I'm probably looking at October before the car.

I settle into a long wait . . .

I decide I want to change the spec of the car, so I ask the person who orders them if that's possible. She, in turn, contacts Lombard, who tell us the dealer has contacted them to say the car should be with them by the end of the week!!

Amazing, thinks I, and get very excited!!

NOW, I get a call to tell me "Ooops, there's been a bit of a mistake, we lost your order and now you're looking at the end of November before you get the car"

If I was buying private, I'd be doing my nut at the dealer!!!! From "next week" to "end of November"!!!!!

Considering cancelling the order now!!!!
