Do you have any evidence for this? I'd much prefer to pay on collection, but I think you'll find that most WR1 owners have/are paying at registration. Give me evidence & I'll definately refuse to pay before delivery.

Other than a photocopy of my bank statement before & after along with a photocopy of the registration document I dont think there's any evidence I could provide?

If im having a blonde day let me know what you would need & I will be only to pleased to assist

Deposit paid.

Car is insured, taxed and in my name and at Prodrive (where they all are anyway iirc?)

Told 2 weeks, I'll believe that when I see it, but I can assure anyone that balance of monies will be done so they clear on the day of collection and I haven't been told otherwise. The dealer has told me that they do have to pay for them pre-ProDrive, but that ain't my problem, it's theirs.

There is no way any more money is leaving my account until delivery day (which will be 1 day after dealer gets it so all can be arranged easily enough).

My car has been insured,taxed for two weeks.Dealer not sure when I will get it.Phoned IM today ,told me to ask dealer!!Explained dealer had no idea how far car was off arriving!IM then said they will check it out for me and phone dealer who will then phone me and let me know!!!!!!!!! Today or tomorrow.


Phoned dealer back to inform him IM will be in touch to let him know what I want to know!!
Dealer then said he would appreciate the check for the car,as he had paid for it to IM.
Let me know where the ****** is first I thinks!!!!!

Not well organised at all.Dealers dont know anything and IM dont want to tell you anything!!!

Just got mine last week. Paid deposit in Jan, and had to pay in full and get insured before ordering. Promised delivery of 2 weeks from paying stretched to just over 4 weeks. After lots of complaining about losing a months worth of warranty, insurance and tax, am getting first 2 services completely free. It's worth complaining -- I have never had to pay in full up front before, well before receiving the car. Mind you it has all been worth it!! Seriously nice car to drive. Much easier to live with than the Evo's.

Cool Some Progress

The plot thickens. I told the dealer what IM said, so the dealer phoned IM and say they have been told that the car HAS been PPP'd etc and is now just waiting transportation to the dealer.

Positive news Got my pack through on Saturday morning so at least that is reassuring. Ive got WR1 #204.

Did make me chuckle though that accompanying letter tells you to take the plaque and tax disc holder to the dealer to have them fitted and even better telling you that you can get a TDH accessory pack complete with extra sticky pads and an allen key. You would have thought they could have run to a correct sized allen key as part of the pack for £29,995! rotfl

So hopefully not too much longer to wait and off to Le Mans tomorrow so at least I won't be thinking about it as much for the next 6 or 7 days.

Regards

Robin

What number did you get and how long did delivery take after you received your pack?

Number = 125 (last of first batch, apparently).

Delivery was 5 Days after the pack arrived (7 days after registration).

I hope that helps!!
