DavidAshton Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Basically put a deposit on a glanza 3 weeks ago, was supposed to pick it up yesterday but the car place im buying it off have said there still waiting for the plates from the dvla. This is what they have said friday and saturday when i checked it was going to be ready and again today. Now i know it passed is mot monday so i would think the docks would have been sent off tuesday......so should they be here by now it will be a week tomorrow...? Or does it normally take longer...?Im beginig to get quite pissed off now because i put the deposit down 3 weeks ago giving them ages to sort all this and i clearly said i need to pick it up sunday because im selling my car saturday and have the week off work and plan on going away on a little road trip. The car was also going into the boodyshop earlier in the week for a few bits touching up and on friday they said they were picking it up that afternoon now this afternoon when i rung again someone else answered who i dont normally speak to and said its still at the body shop? Making me think they are using the plates thing as an excuse..? They never ring me back i have to keep ringing them....I wouldnt normally mind but im now stuck at home with no car, no work and nothing to do all day... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paul w Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Depends on the post and when they sent it off and when they get the docs back and when they go get the plates made up and then fit em and then give you a call to say it's ready....you get the idea Never had a prob when i registered my skyline. 10 days i think it took.

andy.i Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 i called up the national office place and spoke to wifey and asked her to put me through to preston office to see what was happening, but apparently they dont take calls from the public, so she took my details and said they would call me back, yeh right my arse i thought! 10mins later the phone rang and they told me they had been posted today 1st class and should be with the dealer by tomorrow........unless royal mail cock it up as usual!
