A little update. I spoke to the dealer again today and he is going to change the paperwork to reduce the AP which will save me another £400. He checked the system again and my car is still showing as week 25 (21st June) and he says he’s going to do everything he can to find a larger car for me to use from early June until mine is ready. He has promised to phone me back with an update by the end of the week.
I also spoke to Motability who said it’s usually down to the dealer to take care of any problems like this and if they want to keep the sale then they should offer a demonstrator or at least offer to contribute to the cost of a hire vehicle. I was told that if I had no luck with the dealer then I should call Motability back and discuss the matter further as there might be more they can do nearer the time.
Apparently there is a shortage of electrical components for the satnav systems and it’s affecting a lot of orders.
