Collection full tank on delivery

garytheobald · 27th February 2008, 10:05

full tank on delivery thats the question, the brochure says that on the road costs include a full tank, my car arrives this saturday and is being driven to me by the dealer in cardiff what id like to know is, is the tank filled at the dealer and anything used (200 miles) justgone from my inclusive full tank or are they supposed to fill it so that i have a full tank when the car arrives at my house if you see what i mean, thanks btw the car is a contract hire car

Are they definately driving it to you, or might it turn up on a low loader? (mine came on a lorry, with a full tank)

Dimplyred · 27th February 2008, 20:47

Yes TT, there have been other members that have had their cars delivered on a low loader too.

Gary, is it coming from a Honda main dealer or an internet dealer.

garytheobald · 28th February 2008, 08:26

hi my current rx8 came on a low loader with a quarter of a tank, however im told that the ctr is being driven as its a weekend delivery(delivery company dont deliver at weekends and i need the car asap) and the dealer are using one of their own staff to drive it to me, it is coming from ryland honda thanks in advance

If it was me I would go and collect - no delivery driver would thrash my car down the motorways. Also gives you the opportunity to check the car over before you depart.

You may be lucky but I've seen new cars on trade plates (no normal plates fitted) fly by me.

If it does arrive 'driven' check for stone chips.

Ryland honda have always treated me quite fairly - and certainly when I took mine in for a service, I made use of their "we'll give you a lift home / work, and pick you up later when car is ready" service.

The guy who gave me the lift didn't give the impression that he would be thrashing customer's new cars on the way to delivering them

(though of course this is no guarentee!

)

Personally I'd look into the price of a one way train ticket from Liverpool to Cardiff though - Ryland is only a mile or two from the main Cardiff station

And as Kremmen says, gives you a chance to give it a once over before signing, and means you are the first to really drive it

mine came on the back of a low loader

A full tank of fuel is included in the otr price so if the car is discounted & the otr is not being paid a full tank is a bonus !! Good luck

Surely it should make no difference if it's on contract hire. The hire co. still has to pay for the otr costs and you simply pay for that with your hire charges, so someone has paid for it therefore the car should come with it.

Perhaps nellz_bassettshonda could correct me if I'm wrong as I will be getting my Civic as a CH car in May. I'd like to know where I stand as my previous two CH cars only came with 5 litres of fuel although I don't think Peugeot or Seat offer a full tank anyway.

As I understand it, some CH companies have different negotiated rates for delivery meaning not only a lower cost but different terms. The tank of fuel etc is for delivery to the dealership etc, any onward movement from the dealership would be after that.

This appears to vary, some dealers always throw them in with the car, others make you haggle for it or charge..

garytheobald · 1st March 2008, 09:41

dealer said hell put honda black mats in for free but wouldnt give me the red ones tho

NH Dan · 1st March 2008, 09:42

get the kettle on!

although, on second thoughts, probably not worth it - the new owners won't want to wait for it to boil

NH Dan · 1st March 2008, 09:58

no,each and every one will get the 1hr handover so they know whats what. quite fun sometimes when you can see someone is itching to go and you are running thru the controls. But then at least they know how everything works when they do get released into the outside world.......

A few minutes into my handover the dealer thanked me for teaching him about the car and said I was free to go as I obviouly knew more about the car than he did.... The Power of Civinfo.
