Europe Communication is ZERO! Does anyone know what is going on? (INEOS Automotive)

[Krabby]

In the US we won’t be able to buy directly from IA because of our crappy dealer laws. Regardless we’re a ways out here so it is what it is for now.

Read recently that Johns cars are now fetching £50k.

I finally went back and looked at my invoice and I was taxed too. Oddly, at 20%, which doesn’t exist here in that percentage. NJs tax rate is 7% so I’m not sure why it calculated that.

Is that because you are buying direct from Ineos and their point of sale was in a 20% tax location?

Yes, the original deposit was processed through the UK. I had a heck of a time getting my credit card to accept the foreign transaction. Wouldn't process despite my calling the card issuer and telling them it was a valid transaction. Finally got fed up and called another credit card company, told them I was making a purchase in the UK and they authorized it.

The rebate in the kick panel is probably worth more.

Seriously, though, I got to ride as a passenger in one as a kid. The dealer was quite a good sport. I was so enamored with the car, he wrote up a bill of sale in my name and everything. I think I was about 14 years old.

Interesting that I had exactly the same problem with the system accepting a card here in the UK. Transpired it was a case sensitivity issue

Yes , a cult was born and is still going very strong!
Fun fact : They had to use a Porsche V8 engine sound in the Back to the Future movie , a DeLorean isn't the most sonorous of cars!

All invoices for deposits in AU get taxed (not sure about UK) because it's a tax invoice, all sales unless stated attract 10% sales tax like motor vehicles etc. The seller, if it is in the agreement, refunds all of the money and can claim any tax received back from the government.

Your vehicle must have been on the same transporter as mine, also 2nd Feb, and still waiting for delivery.
I believe the others vehicle were for VIP customers.

I am on the VIP (?) list and haven't my vehicle yet and I can say with certain that being put in that category has got me nowhere nearer a delivery than anyone else.

 

[Trialmaster]

I said if I don't have a delivery date by the end of March I will cancel. Getting close!

I ordered and paid my deposit on the first available day god knows how long ago and then signed my contract sometime around October 22. Im normally quite patient and haven’t been calling my agent (Jardines in Kent) every week.
My wife asked me today what is happening with that car you ordered about 18 months ago and I must admit that I didn’t really know how to answer her.
I thought of saying that don’t worry a woman called Lynn had assured me everything was ok and she would keep me updated every 2 weeks, but no one had heard anything from her since January!
What else are we really meant to do apart from wonder how on earth Ineos have got their comms so wrong on this. Like others I feel for the dealers in this and can’t help but think its getting all a bit shambolic now.
For god sake Ineos, give us some information, Im afraid no news isn't good news in this respect!

Same here in California.

I'm partially concerned about the current lack of comms and broken promise to keep us informed, however, what really concerns me now is that this type of poor corporate behavior may roll over in to the warranty and care period and that is alarming. What if I need urgent warranty assistance and this is how they respond. Disaster.

Exacto !
First impressions and all that.

I am not only counting chickens before they hatch...I am sending them back with warranty claims.

It seems some people are hard wired this way.
But I'm not one to catastrophize.

I do not give a damn of I break down 500kms from yonder. But with my family in the car and a company that cannot say hello "3 weeks late", doubt is manifesting!

I called IA on Friday to try and gleam some more information as to when my 'January Build' car will actually roll down the production line. No info given on that but was reassured we would all receive an update 'towards the middle of next month.

Odds are that my car will be a 73 registration, at the earliest. The green oval is calling.

Ah.. an update by the middle of next month, not a vehicle!
Didn't they say that last month?
Where does that stand with Sir Jim saying customers would start getting their cars at the end of the month....in March
