• I'm more convinced by the day that the camper company have used my van for someone else's build.

    I called them ~9am on Tuesday, they said they'd call me straight back, could see my email (from the previous week) and "owed me a response".

    Nothing.

    Called them this morning at the same time, "Oh yes, I'm going to call VW and then I'll call you straight away".

    ~3pm and nothing.

    Because I love the binfire thread and want to be in at as much as possible, I'll re-state that this is a brand new, heavily customised vehicle that's currently quoted cost is £72,000.

    Repeatedly having to chase, with no response, simply to ask the question "when is the van arriving?" isn't what I expected.

    I had anticipated some engagement with their design team ahead of the scheduled start of November delivery date by now, for e.g.

  • But, but, it's a DAMMIT VW, before the £Xk to get it precisely right just prior to selling it on.

  • The base price for a 2.0 T32 TDI LWB 4MOTION 7sp DSG Transporter is £48.5k, and that's just with an empty space in the back.

    So I guess the £72k figure isn't quite as surprising as it sounds. Still - same price as two houses in Middlesbrough...
