My notice arrived tonight at 22:00 Hrs. Was going to tick the box for Bank Transfer but I would really like to pay £500.00 on credit card for the extra protection afforded. Will call the dealership tomorrow and look at my options. Planning on paying for the vehicle outright and replenishing my account at an interest rate of :unsure: 8%? Cheaper than Ineos can offer and better than I can get in a savings account. Sounds like a win win to me.
I think one of the UK agents here said that wasn’t possible at least in the UK as the payment goes directly to INEOS not them so they can’t process a credit card.

Yes, there's something to be said for the credit card protection. I can't remember the minimum value or the timescale it covers, so was wondering if there was any protection from a credit card payment for either of the two previous payments?

Sorry CC but I can't quite work out your approach here. You are going to pay cash and only £500 on card - where's the 8pct coming from?

No coffee yet so might be missing the obvious

LOL!! I was only looking for live cams from the factory tonight. Completely agree with you.
I was trying to remember which car company actually used to do that ~ I certainly remember reading about it a while ago.

One thing Ineos does have is this:

Good morning ECrider. Just a little joke I guess. I will lend myself the money and replenish my bank account on a monthly basis.

I didn't know that either and had to look it up. I'm too old for artificial things which should actually be natural.

Intelligence, for example.

I got the shortest email possible I think, that could convey the specific information just before the weekend.

Your grenadier has gone into production, we will advise when fit for transport

Succinct and to the point 😂

That's a shorthand way of saying "batched , held and overchecked"!

Well this is the second time it’s been built, so hopefully they do a better job of this one, I assume it must have been that bad they took the first one apart and started again.

Mid Feb, I had an email saying it had already been built or was in production 😝

Assuming that it actually is now being built, I am trying to figure out when it is likely to land. Mid to end of May ??

French general strike, French customs strike, UK customs strike, EU Brexit paperwork, type approval, software updates, brake and steering pipes, no manuals, registration. ....what could possibly go wrong??? 🤣
