What kind of compensation should i be after?

[saveferris]

Hey guys......

I ordered and paid a deposit on a 118 TSI manual, metalic paint, sports pack, bluetooth with mats on the 18th of March for around $34,000, my delivery date was for the 15th of May.

Now this is where my grief starts.....

I was ready to pick up my car on the 15th of May but the dealer called and said the car wasn't ready, I informed the dealer that if the car wasn't ready on that day i wouldn't be able to pick up the car until the following month (16th of June to be exact) because i was going away to Sydney for business commitments. She said that's fine and she'd hold onto the car until i returned.... Fast forward to tonight, I get a phone call from the dealer stating that an error had occurred by the stock controller/manager and as a result my car had been sold. " I smell bull" Now she told me that she has re-orderd my car and that it would now be arriving sometime late July early August. " i'm thinking ." I'll be returning to melbourne on the 15th without a car because i wrote it off in Feb, and because of the stuff up with VW i'll be losing money because i need the car for work commitments.


So my question is am i able to get some sort of compensation from VW Bayside? and what kind of compensation? What do you guys suggest?

I was thinking of a substantial discount on the car and also be given a courtesy car until my car arrives in early August.... is that unreasonable considering i'll be out of pocket.


Thanks gents.
