New Octavia ....when? How Much?

[ldsh42]

My car arrived at the dealer today.
It's a sedan.
I ordered a wagon.
F@$#.

Hope you will have some good outcome with dealer....really sorry for you!

Dealer is taking the rap. Hes pretty decent. Ive got him on the case to see if he can find a car like what I ordered, but in a different colour. Otherwise, have to think of my options. .......

I know exactly what you're going through right now. Having gone through a similar scenario I wouldn't wish it upon anyone else.

What have you decided to do? What is the dealer saying, did they enter the right codes when they submitted the order?

**** man..... That sucks. I can't believe this forum has had two pretty epic stuff ups of this magnitude.

Hope they resolve it to your satisfaction.

I am baffled as to how something like this could possibly happen, especially if it is the dealers fault.

[GTR27]

Carelessness. Thats really the only thing. If I was a dealer, i'd would ****ing triple check that **** (i'd prob also know all the codes off by heart though ha ha) to make sure I wasnt the cause of any issues.

OMFG. No, say it isn't so.

I'd go postal.

Dealer be warned....

Mate, I am super sorry to hear that. It is the worst, I would not be happy at all. I hope they can find a new car with the exact order you wanted.

daMama now demanding a Wagon!

Is this a dream run of stuff ups by dealers or a nightmare for long suffering buyers. Seriously a Sedan when you ordered a Combi IE Wagon!!

A good flogging required in the town square. What are they going to do to apologize and ease the pain?

Sedan is not going to be easy to substitute for a wagon but someone is going to get a sedan real quick!

10mm toughened glass is ~25kg/m2. I don't think it's much more than 40kg including frame etc. Replaces prob 5-10kg of steel, so lucky to see a 25kg increase in weight.

There would have to be a increase in structural roof stiffness with the Pano as well! With possibly some benefit in safety. The weight is right up high so maybe a little penalty in handling?

Since we have the same dealership, I suggest you check your order? Just to be sure.

Yeh, there is a capp sedan in leather waiting for someone.

So gutted as I was really looking forward to taking delivery after our holiday. And I need to sell my current car asap as it's losing more value the longer I leave it.

Apparently the GM said to blame the factory, so I don't know who is at fault. See what happens.
