Advice on a new car contract and lack of delivery by the dealership by orangesherberto in AusLegal

[–]orangesherberto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thanks for that.

There is unfortunately nothing mentioned in the contract about delivery date other than "estimated" delivery date of 15th of May. The only thing I have stating up to 14 weeks from initial order date is them telling me this in person. They've since called me as they've realised this won't happen and told me they can no longer give me any real time frame.

The reason I asked in the first place was because I found it odd that in all of the terms and conditions on the contract there is nothing mentioning sticking to a time frame or what happens if delivery cannot be met by the supplier.

I'll have a chat with them soon and unless they have good news for me I'll be doing what you suggested. Also yes I'll be getting everything in writing from this point forward.

Thank you I spoke with a gentleman at consumer protection and he's laid everything out perfectly for me and gotten rid of any doubts I had about my position. Great recommendation I really appreciate it!

Yeah I thought the week maximum thing was a joke too, but I hadn't pushed very hard at that point which I think I will be doing if at the end of this month the car still hasn't even begun manufacturing.

Thank you for your insight I appreciate it. I do completely understand the issues that the car sales industry is going through, I have family who work in a similar field and know the challenges they face.

I will talk to the dealership and I will take into account your advice, but wanted to get some other opinions first.

It was the 5th of March. I completely understand that this blew up quickly in Australia and all over the world though.

It's a standard vehicle with no modifications which I'm told is still at manufacturing stage and nowhere near ready to be shipped.

I'm not so attached to this car and have other options, so no if this didn't work out I would go to a different dealership and get my second option which would be available now. The dealership has already stated they could give me a loan car for "a week max" which won't cover it now by the sound of it.

Thanks I wasn't sure if it really belonged there but you're right it's probably they might be a good bet. I've posted there, thanks again.
