Another Car Help thread
I have got a new car on order, it was due for collection on 1st March, Saturday.
This date suited me because my current car tax runs out on Friday 29th, my MOT expires then too, and the car needs a service. Getting the new car would eliminate the need for all these things and the dealer knows this.
Today, with 4 days to go, and having already rearranged my insurance cover, I get a phone call, the car will now not be ready until 7th March.
They have offered to take my car as planned on Saturday, and loan me a car, with them covering insurance until my new car is available. Does this sound fair? Should I be pushing for any other 'compensation'?

Covering insurance.
There being fair.
If you think your entitled to more then ask them to fill it up with petrol for you.
Why on earth do you want to claim 'compensation'. They could have left you in the lurch without a car or any contact of when your new one is being delivered.
You are having to wait an extra 6 days (which is hardly a big deal) for your car and getting the luxury of an all expenses paid car for those 6 days.
Cry compo and they will tell you to get lost.
Unfair is when the dealer loses the logbook, then youy have to wait ages for the new one and barely offered us anything as compensation (what happened to my dad)
So, similar to what others have said already, think yourself lucky that the car dealer believes in keeping the customer happy.
And best wishes for happy motoring in your new car.
EDIT - crossed in the post with your latest.
Some places would say tough !
