There is no such thing as arriving stock. It's all incremental. Car dealerships aren't equipped to receive a month worth of stock in one go. Ours receives 6 cars a day throughout the week. It's a random selection of cars, just like you see on the back of a Patrick truck.

Sucks to be you. My understanding is that by law a "new" car may have up to 1500km (not a typo) as long as it has never been registered.

Not really sure what your problem is: Being a salesguy, maybe you are upset that others might ask for the same sort of deal?

If the dealership has cars that run on 98RON they'll fill it with 98RON. And even if they didn't are you gonna test it to make sure?

Good for you on the touch up paint. You'll need it for the paint flaws the FN2 has. Ask any of the guys that have stone chips all over their bonnets.

If the car had 21kms would you send it back and ask for a new one? Just curious as to what kind of customer you'd be.

I hope you don't sell Type-Rs mate. Type Rs run on 95 minimum so I really don't think any dealer in Australia would fill it with 98 as standard.

And even if they didn't are you gonna test it to make sure?

And you are right, maybe they didn't fill it with 98 as requested, but as a customer the most I can do is put it in writing. As a salesman, what would you do? LOL

I have Ozi Cozi plastic clear coat.. Go on, say it's crap.

As a salesguy you should know - It's all just a game. FYI my car arrived with 27Km and I accepted it.

Of course, as a customer I wanted to be able to reject a car via my contract if it had too many k's. And here another question presents: As a salesman would you hold a customer to a contract when the car delivered had 1000km on it?

I wouldn't accept the car from the manufacturer in the first place if it had those KMs and if it had them thanks to our doing I would let the customer know before doing the deal. Transparency goes a long way.

I don't play games with my customers. I treat them with respect. I don't screw them over and in return I don't have time for those that try to screw me over. If you think it's all a game, good for you. I hope you had your win.

I asked for it for it to be ready on the 28th due to some timing of some things... but yeah they said that they were expecting my car at the dealer possible within the next 10 to 15 days.. i clearly instructed them though that the car is to not have more then 10km on it HEHE and its written down on my contract LOL

My New silver FN2R will be delivered to my doorstep late next week.
Got it for $38 000 driveaway with mats, emblem set, and bluetooth. Its a dec 07 and has around 145kms on it (about 40 of these kms i put on the car myself, another 15kms was put on by a mate of mine)...

From what I can see on here, this seems to be one of the best deals on a new CTR yet..
