Main Dealer Mis-Selling

debtdebt

Sorry ladies and gents, I no longer have time to partake in this thread as I have just bought a lot of bread and then realised the supermarket had just replenished the bread with more bread with a longer sell by date. I!!!8217;m currently seeking legal advice as to how I can deal with this bread mis selling scandal.

I!!!8217;ve actually got the bread on a PCP. Five slices down. Half a slice paid per month. GFV of 18 slices after 36 months. I!!!8217;m planning on VTing after half a baguette is paid off.

Quite why it takes 16 weeks to build a car I don't know, Henry Ford must be spinning in his grave.

Because the OP won't be the only person in the EU buying that model of car so they get put in the queue and that queue happens to have sufficient people in it that it'll be 3 months to build it.

2-3 weeks of the 16 weeks is merely the delay before the order is placed with the factory due to the rules allowing people to change their minds. 2 weeks or so of the 16 week delay is shipping.

Back on topic personally I'd rather have the last of a run of current models than the first run of a facelift. You get to be the guinea pig for all the new problems the first batches of the new version will have which they've yet to discover and you also get to pay a premium for that facelift that you will not recover when it comes to resale time.

Most dealers/manufacturer's have a 2 week grace period in between the customer placing the order and that order becoming firm, to allow for the fact the customer might change their minds. It's more for the benefit of the dealer/manufacture than the customer.

Obviously this only applies to factory orders.

You sure about that?

I dont think i've ever heard of a recognised two week cooling off period for an order? For finance, yes, for a car order no.

When we ordered our A45 and subsqeuently our Cooper S, we signed and paid a deposit and the car was ordered. There was no sure you can change your mind and cancel in the next two weeks option

Its certainly easier to change your mind sooner rather than later, but once a car is allocated a build slot and hits the production line its going to be built and thats it.

Apart from the increased depreciation when I drive off the forecourt, better deals should be negotiated on pre-facelift models.

Depreciation is not your problem with PCP, and you probably have a better deal than you will get with a facelift model.

It's not a cooling off period, it's more to do with manufacturer's not wanting to start a factory production order until the order is firmed so it makes sense to wait a couple of weeks to ensure the customer doesn't change their mind or wants to make changes. It makes perfect sense and it's for their benefit, not ours.

In fact the last time I ordered my BMW I was told that this happens and is built into the order process, there's a delay between placing the order and the order being accepted.
