Hi everyone, I have waited very patiently from ordering a new 1.0 estate SE Tech. on 31st July 2021, read the forums , sympathised and had the same frustrations as everyone else has had. I just decided to grin and bear it, didn't call the dealer, he didn't call me and that is how we left things. the car was for my wife and she was equally patient, unusually so for her. She had a Renault Clio on a PCP deal which was due to finish on 4th July and there was a bit of a quiet concern as to what was going to happen. As it was we got a final value to purchase her Clio for £5374. We paid the amount and sold it on to a dealer for £8900. When we settled wit Renault Finance we had a residual of £3525. We are collecting the new Octavia tomorrow having secured a very god PCH deal back in July21. All in all things have not turned out too bad for us. I hope that those of you that are still waiting will not have to wait very much longer. Keep your spirits up, everything will work out just fine. I don't see much point in visiting the forum again but I wish you all well,
