IWANT - I have spotted a serious problem for you

When you get the car (good luck BTW I hope it is this week

). You will need to change your name from

IWANTACIVIC

to

IGOTACIVIC

well - he's gone all quiet...

so either he's out having fun, or busy shouting at the dlr

Fingers crossed for the former, obviously!

Fedorov · 12th October 2006, 14:38

Enjoy your new Civic **

IWANTACIVIC · 12th October 2006, 19:50

Im sorry to say it was the latter TT (u didnt cross your fingers enoght

)'

Im not a happy bunny left on the runway again

rang up @ 9,00am no one know wether my car was ready so i rang about 9.30am and chap on the end the phone said the words i didnt want to hear NO , i said why not he said that someone had SPILT BRAKE CLEANER ON MY BONNET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and it had removed the lacqure , so now its going to be wenesday next week

looks like another week with my feet on the ground in the 307

yer karlar ,copycat but @ this rate will have a bit of time to boost the post count of i want yet may be i should change it to i want my civic now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jazz · 12th October 2006, 20:11

Sorry to hear that mate.

TTDegs · 12th October 2006, 20:20

ouch

I guess at least they got it before it took the paint off too :-/

karlak · 12th October 2006, 20:28

So the car is with the dealer though.

My advice : get down there tomorrrow with a camera and take a picture of the damage. This will be very good to keep as a record for any future paint problems. I would also want to check that the damage is just localised to where they say. I would also think some serious compensation is coming your way ?

Get the pictures though, that is a MUST do.

IWANTACIVIC · 12th October 2006, 22:56

Yer suppose so TT

,Im too far away to take pics of car , compensation ????? doubt it all im getting is free delevery ,the dealer making out this is at great expense to him

I bet you would get no were near car if they dont want up you so not worth the 216 mile round trip

.
Not a good start to my honda ownership

. So after this every stressful day im off to bed early for a change

elisgriffiths · 13th October 2006, 00:46

Major downer! Sorry man. But good things come to those who wait!!

If you cant get pictures could you at least get them to put something in writing maybe? If you do have problems later on i bet they will have a major case of amnesia come repair time!! Something in writing admitting damage maybe... don't know but anything worth a try I suppose.

Good Luck

Cheers

Elis

Maldax · 13th October 2006, 19:57

Feel for you!! But sounds like a bit of a line to me! My guess is someone forgot something or there is no one to diliver it till then.

WoolyCiv · 13th October 2006, 22:36

I would want some serious compensation for this if it is true and the dealer has not just thought of it as an excuse for not delivering on time. Even if it is just an excuse I would still want some form of compensation.

karlak · 14th October 2006, 01:07

I agree, there is some serious Bulslhit somewhere here.

If I as a dealer had really spilt Brake fluid onto the paint work (how the hell did they do that). The last thing I would do is admit it, they could make up any excuse - delivery delay, sickness in workshop. You just don't admit to ruining the paintwork on a brand new car.

ME personally,, I would not accept the car, you are paying good money for a new car, not a repainted damaged vehicle. Insist on a new car, and to be provided with a temporary vehicle in the meantime (if that suits you).

end of..............

karlak · 19th October 2006, 20:11

IWANTACIVIC ;

Any news on your paintwork - compensation etc

IWANTACIVIC · 20th October 2006, 03:53

Yer new news paint work looked to good and to well match to have been damaged , i gave him some hassle about the delay and in the end i got to swop the mats in the studio pack for 50£ discount so he say £30 for delay £20 for mats lol go and ask for some matts wount be £20 i bet , car home and sweet apart from badly kerabed alloys so more hassling.
