Nope,
I’m sorry, that’s not happening, they don’t do that, try and give away the old 40 version. Categorically told me so face to face on Wednesday, that each new order, including both your friend, who ordered on the 21/08, and me, who ordered one on Wednesday, and have been told I should, hopefully, be told my build date some point in the coming week. I’ve had a follow up call today from Patrick, just saying he may be phoning me on Monday with the date.
1st class service, and a man that can look you in the eye, and answer’s each and every question I asked, and not just trying to tell me what I wanted to hear.
So please feel free to pass on to your friend 2 pieces of good news….
1 – Money, I was told by Patrick that in the event of the car not arriving just before Christmas, and ending up being January instead, that in the case of any reduction in the advance payment will 100% be passed on to me, and also protected at staying at the same advance payment, should the price go up instead.
Athough, this year alone, the car has dropped down on Motability from £ 8000, to £ 6000, to £ 4499, and with the recent Tory (making a decision that’s wrong, for a change) decision to hold back promoting all things EV until December 31, 2034, when they will eventually remove their finger….
So £ 2500 saving for one’s friend. So a wee phone call to the AUDI dealer he went through, and if worst come’s to worst, Motorbility will step in.
Hell, I ordered the Matt Petrol Blue paint, a specialist paint, for the Cupra Formentor, and the exact amount that it came to, was £ 1380, which was the deposit I laid down, with a more heftier deposit balance due, on collection.
So, when I cancelled it, they may have taken the attitude that as I had ordered the specialist paint, and then went on to lay a deposit down for the car, that came to the exact same amount, to start playing funny buggers with me. And, no, they didn’t try to mess me about, and wished me all the best with my alternative, and I told them I would always keep them in mind from now on, and no doubts in the future, they may well see me again.
2 – Just come on and read what I post. Sorted.
