General Anyone ordered recently?

Grimwau, if I was to say congrats! Great that you'll have it in a week I'm only pissing on their parade in a delayed manner. People should be honest with people on this forum and if they don't think something is going to happen they should point it out :)

Fair comment. So many different factors are involved that can affect the time between deliveries to dealerships and a prepared car being ready for collection by the customer.

When we ordered our 500, the dealer told me that it would be approx 3 weeks between landing at Portbury and collecting it from the dealer.
 
Just been on the phone to my dealer, as my car is supposed to be in the country on Monday. I asked them to check the status for me, their answer was the only person who can access the computer system is on holiday for 10 days!!! yet another example of super efficent service from a fiat dealer! I have left them alone from the day we went in to the show room and placed the order, but I thought with it being so close to delivery they might of taken a bit of interest.

Oh well, wait and see game!!

If your sales person is unavailable, the sales manager can check the status for you as he/she has access to everyone's file..

Thanks for that, will give it a try, although the sales desk did say that they know it sounds crazy but they can not access the system with out the pass word and the person on holiday is the only one that knows it!!!
 
Gave the dealer a call today to check on the status, as I was informed a couple of weeks ago that it should have been arriving this coming monday.
My dealer said that it arrived in the country sooner than that, it arrived yesterday, and will take approx 10 days to get to them and I can pick it up anytime after that.

Getting excited now..... :D
 
No a pessimist, just a realist :) I think it's wrong to build people's hopes up ;)

I expected someone to say that a week was optmistic but at least it will be earlier than I thought as it will be in on 9th rather than 23rd!
 
Hi

Good news, just had a call from my dealer and my 1.2 pop is on route and should be at the dealers tomorrow :) ordered 27th Aug so not to bad really. Could be an issue getting the insurance certificate through the post to get it taxed :( still I suppose I am lucky the car is on its way after reading nightmare stories from other people on this forum.

Happy days

:D

Great news Minty! Do you know when your car arrived in the UK?
When are you looking to pick it up then? Let us know how it goes!(y)

Thanks, They said it arrived yesterday and is on a transporter on route, due wed / thurs. They seemed keen to get it all through quickly, however I must question the fact that they need our insurance certificate to tax it!

Can they not tax vehicles as traders?
Can I insure the car on the VIN details?

Will keep you updated, must remember to ask them to stick the number plates on and not screw fix them, following problems highlighted in this forum!

Cheers

Usually they will offer you the 7 day free insurance from Aviva.. You set up the insurance with them and they will send the certificate via email to the dealers.. Obviously your dealership will have to give you your reg number or VIN details..

In fact, I am waiting for a letter from them with my reg so I can set up the insurance.. They don't have a clue as to where the car is though :confused:

A letter?

Mine told me over the phone, I immediately rang Aviva for the free 7 day insurance, rang the dealer back and he went and got the tax. Quicker that way.

This looks like another thing that my dealer failed to mention!! I had to phone again today to ask for the reg number (they told me they would call me when they had it!!) I am going to tell them tomorrow that I want the car for saturday, it is sitting in there garage now and has been from early this morning.
I have just spent an hour on the phone sorting out insurance and paying extra to get them to ensure the certificate is here for Friday!! To say I am
disappointed with the service is an understatement :slayer:

Doesn't work like that. You get the car when they're ready to give it to you. Give them time to look it over and find any problems before you find them and have a heart attack.
 
They have two days to put it through the workshop, more than enough time! after all they have not had much to do in the last three months.

We shall see

WTF?

Are you really so self centred to think that because they've not been doing anything with regards to your car that they've not been busy over the last 3 months?

Dealers are busy at the moment and if your car is not ready for Saturday it won't be ready.
