After what seems like eternity she is actual on english soil.
Not been overly impressed by the dealership keeping us upto date on the goings on but after looking at the paperwork on saturday the dates for build have been bouncing around like a pinball. He gave me the impression that they have been as frustrated with the whole process aswell and said that they are experiencing it on most 208 orders of late. Now pushing 11 weeks from order, those damn extras.
On the back of the dealers most up to date information we went and sold our car on saturday and got £900 more than the trade in price ... which was nice ... the only down side is the wife moaning about being without a car for a week.
The only saving grace if the car doesn't turn up on saturday is that we have a promise from the dealership of a loaner until it arrives due to all the messing about ... let's see if they are true to their word, although we have an inside lady who is more than happy to apply pressure wherever needed.
Fingers crossed for a happy Saturday pick up.
