Just had an email reply from dealer and told now *hopefully* expecting my car at the end of July!! 🤬 Will it even come then? Fed right up and will now look elsewhere, ridiculous situation.
What a blow!! July??!! Did you decide to go elsewhere mate? Do hope you had a nice hol love, and nothing spoilt it 🙂
Hi, I’ve not decided what I’m going to do yet. It’s just so crazy after waiting almost 5 1/2 months and being told this. As I’ve mentioned before my main problem is the drivers seat and so few cars fit the bill for me but I know the Volvo seat is fine as I currently drive my own Volvo with the same seat. I noticed yesterday someone posted an email they received from Mercedes Benz saying they’re coming back to Motability very soon and the email showed the GLA on it. Had the older GLA in the past and it was a superb car for me and found the seat even more comfortable than the Volvo so I’m thinking of keeping my XC40 order and seeing what happens. The cars are pretty much exactly the same type of vehicle with same boot size etc but the 1.3 engine will be far better economy than Volvo and the performance fine. Only troubles is that Mercedes also operates under an agency D2C business model now just like Volvo so will have to see what waiting times are like. It’s been around a while and stock looks good. My local dealer has almost all trim levels on GLA’s showing as no more than a 14 day wait! But … will Motability customers be allowed those cars? We shall see. Thanks for holiday good wishes! My wife is mad at me because I emailed the dealer and had the bad news so I’ve promised not to check my phone today or look at cars and just enjoy the sun. lol 😁🤣🤣
Where did you see an email saying that Mercedes were coming back on the scheme? I know there was a post knocking around a while back, bit it turned out to be rubbish.
