Soldato
Hi all, I'm assuming some of you guys on here have far more experience in leasing than myself so can possibly advise.
I decided for my next car I'd try leasing, I know a few people who have been leasing for years etc, and since I normally change cars anyway every 2 or 3 years, I thought why not.
I place an order back in May, and at the time I was given an estimated delivery date of - end of August, that seemed okay for me so I placed the order. Since then, for no real reason, it has been delay after delay after delay. It kept getting pushed back a few days or weeks at a time.
Can they just keep doing this indefinitely without any consequence? I kept delaying selling my own car as these delays kept happening but in the end I sold mine around 2-3 weeks ago. As you've guessed, it was further delayed and I'm still waiting. I found out that they've actually been contributing towards a temporary hire car, for someone else who also placed the same order as myself, around the same time. I've no idea on what basis he was selected, when I asked they said they can't offer anything. Am I within my rights to demand the same? They have pretty much said you can cancel if you want, and that's it, knowing full well if I order from elsewhere I'm back to square one again. Anyone been here before?
Thanks.
