Your urgent advice please!!!

Did somebody mention bawbag? :roll:

I'm going up to Inverness in a couple of weeks. If it's not arrived by then I'll take it down for yeh emperor :D
 
Tell them you will drive the demo car up to Inverness on Saturday to pick up your car and you will leave it up there , this threat may uncover the truth , but by calling their bluff you could end up a couple of tanks of fuel out of pocket !
 
I am going to Harry Fairburns (BMW Inverness) for inspection 2 on Monday. I will let you know if it's there! :D

Why does it take a week to bring a car from Inverness,they should do that in a day?Make sure they are transporting the car.I would want to know why they didn't tell you this when the deal was done.

It will cost a fortune for them to get it down, takes a week as nobody will want the job with having nothing to take up. Could cost them 500-800 quid.

Think bmws arrive in at Hull? not sure what's gone on here?

Have patience, all will be fine:)
 
... Inverness may have sold your car also, some guy in a kilts probably having a worse fit than you. Your dealership may have registered it in time.

That is a bloody good idea :D
 
Just a thought, you don't think they could have damaged the car and are now getting it repaired. Make sure you give it a bloody good going over before you accept it.

Well obviously, and they don't make millions of pounds net profit every year? Christ, I hope you don't work in customer service with that attitude, would you just apply the 'sorry for the delay and the lack of comms after the vast amount of dough you've spent with us, but nobody's died so relax' line to every disgruntled customer? Sure that would go down a treat.

You need to relax sailor :P We don't know the dealers side of things, the emperor's above story has changed a couple of times along with some conspiracy stuff about new reg etc. He has the use of their demo car which is probably an upgrade to what he has bought and might depending how he conducts himself obtain a free service or similar. All to wait an extra week for delivery, its not worth causing your ballbag to explode. :thumbsup:

Do you work for BMW or something?
Emperor, the salesman that sold you the car wasn't called Matt Walters by any chance? Now that would be a conspiracy! :P
 
I wouldn't push to hard for faster delivery, you want it on a transporter, not thrashed up the motorway by a salesman.

Nothing even close John , my pal at Bowkers will deliver any of their stock throughout UK & they pay their delivery guys flat rate of £7 hour , average 4/6 hours each way = max spend around £100 :o
That's based on driving the car & train or bus return , would be more on lowloader but even then i doubt they would pay more than £250 per car .
 
Inverness is a bit of a pain, trade platers will do it for 75p(self employed) a mile. The jobs up there rarely come up, I'd charge minimum pound per mile,only if I had something to take up otherwise its pointless doing it. It's over weight for most low-loaders (who care) so legally should be on tachgraphed truck,(think AA sized) so its a two day job. 500-800 is normal.

Let me know! Hehe

Harry Fairbairns is part of Arnold Clark but not part of Synter Group so I would have questions re this.

Possibly has been a car sent to or bought in by them which they couldn't sell and Synter have agreed to buy it from them. Probably not banking on someone wanting to buy it as soon as you did but you are correct that information should have been passed on.

I'm sure all will be well when it does arrive......just in time for some good weather I hope.
 
I'm surprised that the cost of a flight to Inverness didn't get more support. It's an easy day's drive and a nice journey from there to where you are.

Either way, enjoy it when you get it!
 
Thanks everyone! Really appreciate your replies! Whilst I am disappointed about the delay, it is the misinformation that bothers me! Reckon I'll do a bit more investigation and then see what Sytner says. If not satisfied, will escalate up to BMW GB. To me, something isn't quite right here!
 
I wouldn't read too much into it, it's most likely to just be an honest mistake. You think a cars a bit big to deliver to the wrong place but we just had a 40ft shipping containers turn up in Germany 2 days after it was supposed to be with us in Yorkshire, logistical mistakes do happen and can be very very annoying
