Getting REALLY Peed off now.....
This car has been ordered for almost 2 MONTHS and they STILL can NOT give me even a build date never mind delivery date.
Are Renault owned by Oxo?
Because they are becoming a laughing stock.

[Stranger]

That's shocking!

Have you had any news yet?

[steve-t]

No still can not give me build date yet.
However they are paying to service my Dci

[Stranger]

I know someone who's in the same position after ordering a new Fiat 2 months ago, they can't get a build date or expected delivery date out of the dealer.

Good news on the servicing payment for you

[steve-t]

I'm hoping for a 19 plate now.....Trade in price is locked in soooo

Had a call from Renault UK
Guess when they can do my July ordered RS280?
January 2019

[steve-t]

Well time has taken its toll with me and Renault,
They now say my car can not even be ordered until December not October,
Expecting to start building 17th Dec for Feb delivery,
So I am now officially sick and have bought a Mazda, They closed up shop in March to get WTLP in place,
Learn a lesson Renault I will not be the first customer to walk and I am sure will not be the last.
Hope to drop on again every now and then on the forum but for now...…..au revoir

As I've said elsewhere, all the very best and feel free to pop in whenever you like.

The person I mentioned above had actually ordered a Citroen, had no luck in getting any info and in the end did the same as you, walked away. Contacted Peugeot and had their version of the same car in 10 days.

Worlds gone mad, take care

[steve-t]

So 14 months have passed since I first ordered a RS280.
12 months since I cancelled it.
Thought i'd try again.
Only to be told..
We can not order that spec...some unwanted spec cars at import centre for over 100 days
Why are Renault so afraid to build an order car?

[Stranger]

It's the Macron effect. Making the French lazier.

That's socialism for you.

How's the Mazda?

[steve-t]

Nice car but it does not make my heart beat faster, That is why looking to change after only 1 year. Since Renault can't or won't make a RS the way I want without an unknown build date test driving a Mercedes a35 AMG 4matic this afternoon.

[steve-t]

Well didn't like the Merc, Looking at an RS280 Monday afternoon, Must be a glutton for punishment
Steve

[steve-t]

Well bit the bullet.....Bought it 225 miles on clock £5k off list....and a recall for oil pump
It's started already ha ha ha

[Stranger]

Woah! Got yourself one at last, congratulations

Bet it makes your heart beat faster.
