Hi all, been reading the forum for a good few months now but this is my first post.
On the 8/10/03 I ordered a stilo and had extras so it was a factory order, the dealer says it would be about 3 months for delivery (he put down 1/12/03) This was fine by me as i have time to sell my current car (52 plate 206).
Well mobile phone rang today and it was the dealer. My first thought was that the car was going to be delivered early, but no instead, Errrm I have some really bad news (ohhh great), unfortunatly your car won't be delivered at the start of december as Fiat has sent back all our orders as they wont be making any more stilos until january, so delivery will be in march. I thought WTF I ordered at the start of september and 2 months later u tell me i won't be getting it for another 5 months. He said the order was fine but fiat have just realised that they have to many cars to build so have sent back loads of orders. I personally think this is really bad service as they take your deposit and promise to deliver but don't. Is this a regular thing with fiat then as this will be my first fiat.
Sorry about the long post but it has totally peed me off and messed up my day.
Any of you had this problem of failed or extended delivery times?
Cheers
Andy
