Hardly an issue if thats what he’s talking about is it? If the indicators didn’t indicate at all…. That would be cause for concern but those “animated” indicators are more annoying than useful!
New car delays.
- Thread starter zuludawn
- Start date
I guess different things upset different people

I'm not all that fussed about the indicators. I am fussed about the lack of communication and customer service, though. I know some people aren't bothered by the service they receive and get on with their life but I feel it's a basic principle of doing business. The fact is, we did not receive what we ordered and the dealership seems to be clueless about it.
If I got a call several months ago stating that there has been issues providing this option (or any others that I am not yet aware of) due to supply issues, with an apology, then I wouldn't have an issue with it.
Now, I am just seeing if I can get something in return. If I don't then so be it, I'll remember this situation if we choose Seat again.

I would have said this was starting to show signs of improvement (manufacturer dependent of course). Both new cars we've ordered this month are expected in March and May respectively. One of which was actually cheaper buying new than 18month used. 
My partner ordered a Toyota Yaris Cross which was expected November 2022 (She ordered in June) that then got delayed until after the new year (March expected)
She did however manage to find a cancelled order which had been delivered to a dealer in Newcastle and secured that.. collected a week later.
On the other hand her sister ordered an Aygo X and it took two months (Built in a different country)

Well no news on the build date from last June and with the new 24 update been released this month theres little chance of getting it.
So for the third time in 2 years another order has been submitted and most probably another 8+ month wait.
Just totally unbelievable

S-Max ordered Nov '21 finally arrived and picked up March 29th - only to discover they'd given me the wrong spec (Titanium X + Lux pack, not the ST Line originally ordered).
Sales Manager very embarrassed - but I'm not prepared to wait another 17 months, so waiting to hear what they'll sort and what excuses they'll give for the "mistake".
The whole experience has been fishy, so I'm trying to find out if anyone else has received a lower spec "by mistake".
