Which dealer are you using mate?

Hi mate, which online broker have you used? I have been getting quotes from carwow with the best of 6.5% discount so farI'm not too far from MK. Often drive past that dealership.
I ended up going with a dealer in the Midlands following an Internet broker introduction. So far so good but we'll see. My local dealer in Herts wouldn't entertain any discount so decided to walk away.
Hope you manage to get yours through soon!

Chased up today as my Coupe should be entering build this week (after a 3 week delay). I was greeted with "oh, some bad news, they've changed your interior trim from the black ash to the high gloss black trim due to problems with stock". WTF?!?! I've told them I don't want that trim... now I'm hearing it might have to be re-ordered to get a slot where that trim is available. Not impressed is an understatement.
Happytalk73 said:It's amazing that something so simple can cause such complications. So MB think they can freely change a standard piece of a car's interior to suit their stock levels? That's bizarre. I don't blame you for reordering. The wait will be a pain but the black ash looks so much better than the gloss. Keep telling yourself it'll all be worth it. It'll be stunning.
Agree - can't believe it to be honest. I had an email this evening saying the dealer is looking into the possibility of swapping the trim as 'they have a car in stock with black ash'. Firstly, I'm not sure it's even possible as black ash has the IWC clock whereas the black trim doesn't. Secondly, do I really want them replacing trim on a brand new car even if it is possible?! Think I'll just insist on a re-order.
Happytalk73 said:I'm not sure about that either. However some members here may say it's a simple task I'm guessing a reorder will reset the clock and give you the max waiting time (again). Maybe ask around regarding the trim swap, it's maybe easier than we think. Ant.
JBD said:This is simply not true. The factory don't change your trim, the build slot either accepts it or it doesn't. When we spec a car up with the factory, it either takes the full spec or it doesn't. A warning will come up to advise on the option that isn't available. They would have known that at point of order. I wonder whether they have forgotten to change the trim
That's interesting... Part of me did wonder if they'd screwed up the order at the dealer actually. I wonder if they couldn't order my spec for that slot months back and figured they could update it later without telling me...
Would you guys accept them taking the ash trim off a stock vehicle and retrofitting it into mine (hacking the electronics in the process for the clock) or insist on re-ordering? Part of me doesn't want to accept that but then do I want to wait x months more given I've waited 5 months already... I've already sold my c63 so I'm car-less right now which makes it even worse...
