I originally placed my order for a replacement vehicle in early August of last year. I was told the order had been cancelled twice by Vauxhall updating the Astra Sports Tourer.

Last week I was informed the car was finally arriving but the order had again been cancelled yet again and my dealership had obtained a car with the same spec from a different dealership. At the handover, the car was there but covered with a big red Vauxhall sheet while all the paperwork was done. The first thing I noticed when the cover came off was a chip of paint missing from a door handle and the car was not fitted with parking sensors. These I was told would be fitted at a later date.

Had I seen the car and known about this before doing all the paperwork I would not have accepted it. No one at Vauxhall or my dealership seems to have the slightest clue as to why the orders were cancelled. I just feel badly let down by the dealership and Vauxhall in particular.

Thanks Joss.

Choosing a replacement is giving me an even bigger headache than the problems I had with my dealership and Vauxhall. At least most of the dealers I have contacted so far are being “honest” in that they are letting me know of the difficulties in getting cars at the minute and not making false promises.
