General No stock

[EchoZA]

:bang: typical, insurance finally pays me out and the FIAT dealerships have no stock of my 1st choice, 2nd choice or 3rd choice. What to do...

That is very unlucky and ufortunatly that is the case across the UK at the minute. The basic models are easy to find, Just the Sportings with any decent extras are like gold dust!(I waited best part of 3 months for mine).

I really wanted the New Orleans Blue, no stock, then decided on Crossover Black, same again no stock. I'm in two minds about asking for a white one... but after my last PALIO was a white one and the accident etc, I may be reminded again...

Glyn hopkin buckhursthill have stock.... a black one 1.2 dynamic, orange sporting 1.9, a silver 1.3 multijet.
The only thing is the sales manager (stuart) is a complete w***er and if you get any problems you wont get help, but if you are getting it through the insurance i wouldnt have thought you would have to meet the to**er.
Good luck and inform them that Glyn Hopkin do have stock of most of the cars, they are in the showroom.
Glyn Hopkin Chadwell Heath also has a large amount of stock in the showroom and on the forecourt.

Excellent, make sure you show it off with some photos!

 

[EchoZA]

I will, as soon as the keys are in my grubby little paws!

 

[EchoZA]

Well, they found me a black one at another dealership but the sales woman does not want to sell it!!! She has no buyer but just not want to sell it as it's the only black one left!!! :bang: The dealership is now looking for a red one for me!!! So, still no GP

That is a bit of a joke. They have a car but don't want to sell it!? Have you tried contacting Fiat customer service about this?

I' am see'ing what happens tomorrow... if no joy, then Monday I phone the head office and speak to the director again... then the sales woman will have "hell to pay" they take away dealer rights for stupid things like she is trying to do!

Other dealer doesn't have to transfer it to your garage.

Look at it this way when you get one it will be even better & with such a demand it should hold its secondhand value much better

true, the demand here has out stripped the supply so deff will be worth more, even if I have to wait 6 months

 

[EchoZA]

Still waiting... looks like it may be the black one I wanted... worst case a red one!

 

[EchoZA]

good news, my salesman (best I have ever dealt with) has managed to track me down my GP exact to the specs I wanted, she arrives next week Monday/Tuesday

 

[Hellcat]

Wonder if you could sell a GP on ebay for more than you buy it?

 

[ChrisUK]

Yeah I was thinking that because I paid the special introductory price for mine so even with 3K on it I should get more than what I paid for it . I'm really considering selling it now as ive just found out i've got a baby on the way.

 

[EchoZA]

Signed the papers today and paid my deposit, finance approved and the car is on the way, will post pics when I receive her next week!
