New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[GTR27]

I'm cancelling the contract at bb due to inability to supply. So deposit may be forfeit (apparently administrators have it already) also, I no longer have the credit card it was charged to. I'll ask though, be extra cheeky.

Definitely worth asking. Congrats on the outcome! Hopefully I'll get a similar one! The countdown begins for you now

[GTR27]

Yes. Hats off to GCS too, has responded very quickly and did everything I asked, very quickly. Hope it's smooth sailing now and I pick it up next week

Rob is a good bloke, I bought my RS from him too. I picked up my car with my 3yo daughter, he made the delivery on the day extremely quickly so my daughter didn't get cranky .

Did you ask GCS if they'd price your car less the deposit?

I still don't understand why you lose your deposit. It's not you who's cancelled the contract, surely it's BB? If they're not cancelling the contract then they're honouring it and providing you with your car? They've broken there end of the deal/contract not you. I'd be seeking legal advice on this (if the dep amount is worth chasing??).

[GTR27]

Technically I can wait it out and hope the person who buys the dealer will get into gear and get it to me before xmas. But i'm not taking that risk when I can break the contract now, get it to another dealer and get the car. GCS looked after me.

Possibly there is no money to refund or only a small percentage? I'd take GTR27s route as well.

Given BB has lost the Franchise, there is no way they can supply a new car. There is also now nothing (franchised dealership) for the receivers to sell, so I really can’t see how anyone else can come along and deliver the car.

Surely the fail to supply is on your side GTR… At worse you will have to line up with the other creditors and get ??in the $.

[woofy]

It will all be lining up with the other creditors, which means highly likely no money. He will be down the bottom of a massive pile with the money running out well before then....if there even is any.

[GTR27]

I'm not getting that money back without wasting lots of time or money chasing it. Cutting my losses and moving on. Worse now is I just got an email from Skoda saying that they are inspecting all the cars as not all of them were undercover (despite assurances last week they were) and mine could potentially be damaged. I have replied that damaged and repaired is not a new car so if that's the case, we need to negotiate a different outcome.
