New car..finally
After a wait of almost 3 months picked up our new car today, however, a few hurdles had to be overcome first,
Last Saturday..went to dealers to finalise paperwork, they did the private plate transfer for us we arranged to have our cameras( dash cams) removed from our old car and to be installed in the new one, the guy said it would be easier if both cars were side by side, so we arranged for my wife to take the car in on Friday and he would remove and refit cameras to new car,
Monday..dealer rang and said there was a problem, instead of a reverse camera and parking sensors ( as we ordered) only the camera was fitted, he would fit sensors for us but had to wait and see if ford have a solution as to how to fit a proximity sensor..???, to make it work with the camera ( are you still with me ??),
Friday, wife took car in for dash camera guy to do his thing, in the morning as dealer had to pdi it in the afternoon, frantic phone call from son, garage phoned no camera guy ( this is at 12-20) so I tried to get hold of him ..no answer, rang garage and told them to go ahead with the pre delivery inspection, camera guy finally called back,, turns out he had forgotten, even though he had put it in his diary, no probs he said he will go over to garage, remove cameras and fit them at our home address on monday..sorted
Today,, wife booked a taxi on Tuesday to take us to pick up our new car
Guess what...taxi was a no show,, wife phones taxi company who say they have no record of a booking or phone call, but then they said the call lasted for a minute? anyway , a car turned up 20 minutes later and we eventually arrived at the garage to collect our car, the salesman gave us a free extended warranty ( worth £350) as a goodwill gesture over the parking sensors...who said buying a car was easy
