The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread
Thats great, just out of curiosity is it 2009 or 2010 built.
It WAS a 2009 build !
I say "was" because I got a phone call an hour before pick-up to inform me that somewhere between storage and showroom the car had been involved in an accident ! I sh*t you not, on the day of delivery !
I've re-ordered one and now will need to wait a couple of months now.
Oh well, worse things could happen I guess and no-one was hurt, it's just a bad situation for all involved, the dealership, me, the plonker who stacked it and my poor wife who thought she was driving a new car home today.
On the plus side, the dealer has gone out of their way to look after us, we have another car we can use (Mini Cooper S) and it will be a 2010 (gotta look on the bright side I guess).

That all sounds a bit fishy to me. It could be a case of someone coming in and offering to pay over the odds for a car of your spec and them inventing a story to free up your car.
Id defo be having a sniff around to see if it really did happen.
It could on the other hand just be very very bad luck.
That's terrible... I'd definitely not be as calm as you sound...
You should ask to see the car to "see how bad the damage is", just to confirm their story. But I guess these things happen, as unfortunate as it is.
Although I wonder if the dealership with compensate you in some way..

Yeah, they threw in some extras to compensate. I don't believe it is a dodgy as I've dealt with the Dealer Principal before when he was dealing with another brand and he's not that way geared so I'm sure it's just ****e luck.
It's a shocker but at the end of the day it's not a situation the dealership wants to be in either and I don't know whether some moron delivering the car was to blame or if someone hit him/her so I'm trying to make the best of a disappointing situation.
Having said that, anyone here in Briz just pick up a hot deal on an MY10 Carbon Grey 5 door Gti with leather and 18" alloys? just kidding....

Hey GHW, I got ur car! Just kidding, I am waiting to pick up my CS with leather and 18's , had some drama with the corporate discount shenanigans but it is all good now. Just a pain that the dealerships is an hours drive away, hard to get there quickly!

No, not mine and I think I've taken this thread way off the intended topic so apologies if that's the case.
