Are you all sitting comfortably?........ then I'll begin;
Back in July I placed an order with a very large manufacturer for my next company car as my old car (Civic 2.2 GT cdti) was due for changing the first week in November.
Not naming names but here's a little clue, they have the following in there badge, a W and a V (these may not be in the correct order for identity reasons). I recieved a phone call about 3 three weeks ago saying that the "mystery Manufacturer" has updated its ordering system and my order has been deleted. :shock:
I thought, okay, thats not good but lets just re-do the order........................ not as simple as that, the words from the guys at the garage, "Because it's a lease car I would pretty much be put to the back of the waiting list again" He wasn't wrong, my new PROPOSED date was now April 2011!!
So a July 2010 order to a April 2011 PROPOSED delivery ............. What would you guys have done?......................
Yep, I went to Peugeot, had a little test drive of the RCZ hdi GT and fell in love. Couldn't of asked for a better Sales guy, answered all my questions he showed me what he had available, he had one HDi in which was going on show, yes it was slightly different to the one I wanted but it was close enough so I put my name on it.
It's now been taken out of the showroom ready for me to collect next week.
So what's gone from being the lowest part of my life when it comes to getting a new car to probably the best, can't believe I never even considered the RCZ in the first place.
I travel the length and bredth of the UK due to my job so hopefully will get chance to see other owners on my travels.
All the very best guys (and gals)
