Ok, I have had drama after drama with my superb order from day one since last July when I ordered. Everything from delays etc. After one delay to build week 50 in December I told them to cancel the order or build the car in Jan.

Skoda Australia agreed to a Jan build date and the order continued The day finally came to go pick the car up from the dealer this afternoon..... I looked for the Jan 2011 build date and it is a Dec 2010

So currently the car is registered in my name, with my euro plates on it, reversing camera installed and I am left with two choices:
1. Walk away and re-order. With a 4 month wait. This would mean a 12 month wait on a car
2. Be offered financial assistance from Skoda/Dealer

I left the car at the dealer and told them to get back to me with an offer of compensation. I have been steadfast about my build time but I also don't want to wait 12months for a damn car.

The dealer recognizes that in the eyes of private buyers at a private sale the car is already one year old despite it being complied 02/11. The complied date is only relevant if traded in at a dealers!!!!

My question obviously is what compensation would you be happy with so as to accept a 2010 build car in 2011 which is completely not in line with your order????

I will need to make a decision by tomorrow. Your Advice would be highly appreciated......

After the last delay I was given free mats and rubber mat in the boot, oh and they forgot the cargo net in the rear....
