Full tank on new

Obo · 3rd April 2007, 12:52

Just wondering how many people got a full tank of fuel on their brand new civie?

I have always been told to insist on a full tank as part of the deal which I have with my civic but noticed in the brochure it's part of the OTR cost so how many people actually got a full tank? Have I haggled for something thats normal anyway

all new Hondas should come with a full tank and I never even had to mention it to my dealer

I got a full tank when I collected mine, this was without asking / haggling. I certainly didn't expect it as it hasn't happened with any other new car I have bought. A nice touch providing the cost wasnt hidden elsewhere!

It is included in the OTR price as are plates and tax etc

Mine came with a full tank too, which I knew about when I bought the car. I bought my last Civic from the same dealer, which was a year old when I got it, and they put in half a tank for me on that.

Yep, full tank here and no haggling.

It is part of the package. I asked my dealer when I picked it up if it was full. He said it was and wondered if I was dropping off my Part-Ex with a full tank

Obo · 3rd April 2007, 16:04

I didnt actually haggle as such I said the local dealer offered a full tank and mats foc would they do the same and he said yes! Still feel I couldve got something else instead now I know that but hey never mind!

But you pay for it in the OTR price!

One brand new CTR GT ordered and one full tank of petrol offered without any prompting. Just as it should be!!

Why would anyone need to prompt Honda when you are paying for it?

Look at the small print OTR price includes a full tank of fuel!

Full tank and bunch of flowers from our friendly neighbourhood dealer...

JoeyF · 3rd April 2007, 19:31

Full tank of petrol, mats, locking wheel nuts(Dont know if this is an option or not!)and 2 x bottles of very nice wine, without any haggling.

richardc · 3rd April 2007, 19:39

No full tank but I got a bottle of champagne.

Because some dealers will try and get away with not filling the car up!!

That is ridiculous, some people may not realise that they have paid for it and go without it

Now the dealers giving away wine and flowers sound good

mine had the fuel warning light on when I collected mine, I even made a point of asking for the tank to be full when I made my deal. I even had to pay full price for mats.

Is Dutton Forshaw the worst dealer here?

I think it is really bad that people get different deals from different dealerships and even worse that Honda Uk seem willing to help some people solve their problems whilst doing little to help others. You would think given the competition between dealerships they would be bending over backwards to win custom!

No full tank, first drive was to my local petrol station

, but we did get some free mats and oel with it
