New Car Order Question

[Sarge]

I would try and get the trade in value in writting next time I order a new car. When I ordered my RS we agreed on the trade price for my Honda.However when delivery day came the salesman denied ever agreeing to anything or even looking at it (even though we took it in twice for them to evaluate it). You can imagine my joy at being told it would be $4000 less than I was expecting.After much arguing and threatening to cancel the new vehicle I had no choice but to agree to split the difference.This put a very big dampner on a much anticipated arrival of the RS. Next time I will go to Melbourne to order.I will not deal with the local dealer again.On a more possitive note the car is fantastic.best I've ever own.

Unfortunately if it's not in writing it's not part of the deal. That can work both ways as well but it's a hard lesson to learn some times.

I'm glad that I got my trade-in value in writing back in February. At least I know what the value will in July/August and there won't be any nasty surprises. I also have the option of selling the car if I believe if I can do better. At the moment I have settled with the trade in value and will probably most likely stick with it. But I made sure that I got it in writing and made quite clear that on the deal that the trade in was the value that was going to be the value that I would get at the time of pick up of the Superb. The salesman made the point to me that my trade in would be worth more if they could take it off my hands now, but going without a car for up to six months didn't work for me lol.

Not that many Skoda dealers in Geelong ;-/

Sorry to go back and off topic but.....


No taxi operator is going to go to a vehicle with the servicing costs of the europeans, not to mention the skills/knowledge required to do so, then add in cost and availability of parts.......
A falcon is boring, simple, brutal, and cheap (possibly like their owners?!) for everything from tyre sizes to brakes, transmissions, even filters.
Just the fact that any monkey can change a falcon transmission in a couple of hours, or that Repco/Bursons etc have most parts you need on the shelf and CHEAP!!
No one will ever seriously get into the taxi market while these capable dinosaurs still roam the roads........


BTW, if i could downsize from my Tranny, the Skoda looks GREAT!!!

With Skoda it's not so much about the looks as the way they go! Best ride/handling balance in the VW group if you ask me, and I tested Passat wagon, Golf & Golf wagon before stumping for an Octy RS.

I'm sure Lola will keep on keeping on for a while yet...
