Well what a total shocker .
Absolutely ruined my collection day today.
Had a 12.45pm appointment today with Sandicliffe Nissan to take delivery of my brand new 370z nismo.
I was 30 mins early so I'll give them that.
Car was on the forecourt ready for collection all nice and shiny anyway.
Waited for salesman to finish his current appointment and then he came to me.
Paid for the car, done the required paperwork, taxed it online and then I was ready.
Got in the car and noticed the mats had been taken out. Ok I thought: I'll just start it up and go through a few things.
Start the car. Warning light is on along with tyre pressure monitor light. They wouldn't go off.
Called salesman. He had a look. Said it needed to to be reset so needed to go round the back into the workshop.
At this point the car started to shake a bit and sound rough.
Salesman got in to take it around the back and the engine cut out. Wouldn't start. Run out of petrol. Seriously.
I then proceeded to wait an hour while a tech went to the garage and brought a jerry can back and put petrol in.
Car went back into the workshop to have light re set. Came back. Salesman explained it's been done but the light will remain on for about 6-8 miles then extinguish.
At this point I was so miffed off I just wanted to get on the road and start the 4 hour drive home.
Home now. Light still on. After reading online it's looks like it has to go back into a dealer to be sorted.
Total shambles.
I think they were punishing me because I refused to pay the £89 admin fee added to the £30k I paid for the car.
Said the admin fee was for prepping the car and doing HPI checks etc. HPI? On their own brand new car.
Wasn't paying that.
All in all a pretty crap experience.
Good job the car is awesome.
