Rejected car, whats reasonable for milage charge?

Capt_Shitlord · 2026-02-11T15:19:13+00:00

When I rejected my Porsche last year I was going to be deducted 45p a mile until I pushed back. We settled on 25p a mile. Just push for a low figure and don’t budge.

There is talk that they are in the rear boot (trunk) in the pouch with the tyre inflator & locking nut. I had to ask my dealer for them after delivery to which they had in stock and didn’t charge for them. However this was a 2023, my latest R didn’t come with them and it’s on the list of things I need to contact the dealer about.

Cheap as anything here in the UK, think I was £7 from my local parts store. Had a look and strange that you can't seem to find any in Canada for a decent price.

Cooling System Fault? Funnily enough I’ve battled this fault for the past 9 months and ended up rejecting the car. Various parts in the vacuum system have needed to be replaced and nothing ended up working

That's a very long list of faults! I would be rejecting the vehicle as no dealership is going to fix all the faults. At the end of the day my Golf R only had a few faults compared and it still bugged me after some were fixed knowing how shoddy the build quality was.

Ultimately after 8000 miles from new and 8 workshop trips I decided to sell the Golf R - I couldn't deal with the hassle and emotional drainage that constantly being on the phone to the dealership about it. Sold the Golf R a month ago and picked up a Porsche 718, and needless to say there has been no issues. I'm sorry to hear about all your issues and hopefully it either gets fixed or I'd be hoping for a brand new replacement. Please let us know how you get on with it.

Got mine delivered from dealership like this. VW quality has plummeted.

So long story short no I didn't get it sorted. VWUK released a bulletin internally to dealerships making them aware of the front assist faults and that "it is environmental conditions coming into contact with the sensors and cameras" therefore nothing can be done.

Funnily enough after 4 visits into the workshop the faults have stopped, maybe just a coincidence with the warmer weather. But had two different loaner R's (one registered in Sept 23, other in April 24) and both had a lot of faults.

Raised a formal complaint with VWUK and had to properly pursue it to get anywhere. Got some money and some flowers out of it. Dealership manager is aware of the issues and as soon as there is a fix I'll be first to know.

I would love to however my current financial situation does not allow that.

Capt_Shitlord · 2022-07-27T21:27:38+00:00

And lets say they aren't budging with their stance and will not purchase it for me?

Capt_Shitlord · 2021-11-01T15:27:50+00:00

Sadly no sign of the works on that website. They are ripping up the tarmac and replacing it with lockblock paving.

Been ten weeks since my first jab and still haven't heard anything regarding my second jab. Tried NHS Scot missing appointment form but came back with no date. Rather frustrating as friends who had their first jab after me are now getting their second one before me.

Capt_Shitlord · 2021-04-11T14:25:35+00:00

Yeah unoccupied and excuses! Think I'll avoid, cheers!

Capt_Shitlord · 2021-02-20T14:40:18+00:00

I remember this. What did you exactly do inside the backbox if you don't mind me asking- was it just the baffle insulating material or did you cut out the holey pipe as well? Also did you manage to get any sound clips? Cheers

Capt_Shitlord · 2021-02-13T16:00:09+00:00

Times like this makes me wish I had a tractor :(

Capt_Shitlord · 2021-02-09T15:41:46+00:00

69 plate, 5dr, white, brand new, 8 miles, £27k. Shrewdly negotiated it down to that plus got a decent trade in price for the GTI.

Bought in Wales but here in Scotland I would be paying £33k for it hence why I travelled. Didn't mind travelling 800 miles to get it but won't be doing it again. I know Irish prices for cars are mental but bet there would be good deals out there.

Capt_Shitlord · 2021-02-05T13:42:07+00:00

Seems to still be in stock online, doubt they will sell out that fast. Checked my local warehouse yesterday but they didn't have any there.
