I have a car at last! Okay it's not the one I ordered originally but it's got a wheel at each corner and does most of what I want it to. A couple of weeks ago I spoke to the salesman again and was quoted a delivery time of October/November, a whole seven or eight months after I originally ordered it. Fed up with getting fobbed off I went online and noticed that the Sportline was on offer with a better APR and almost double the dealer contribution available. This got me interested so I had a look on the dealer's site and saw that they had one available that suited my needs. I spoke with the salesman again and long story short I now have a brand new Sportline 190 PS 4x4 TDI DSG in Race Blue sitting on my drive. It came with a few options that I didn't know I needed such as a panoramic sunroof which I love, spacesaver which I originally ordered and Adaptive Cruise. All in it came in at slightly more per month than my original SEL with a grand extra deposit from me.
I have to say I absolutely love the car and am SO glad I got the Sportline as it's a very pretty looking car with some lovely shiny and pointless bits on it that I never knew I needed. The alcantara seats are fab and I'm like a child at Christmas with the interior LED colour changing lights. Who knew I needed such things on a car? Anyway, I'm as happy as Larry with it and as all good(!) car adverts say, it drives superb. 😉🙄😄
