Hey guys, my FL5 problem never ends and I need your opinion/suggestion about this matter.

LONG STORY (please bare with me):
As mentioned weeks ago, the dealership offered to handle the delivery of my car to my address which they said will be here 2 weeks max (considering its a 7-9hrs drive and same province) and I agreed as it was a long holiday and didn’t want to be a hassle for me.

2 weeks has passed and they weren’t able to deliver. Lots of calls and talks has been made, in the end they said that 100% it will be picked up yesterday or today. Unfortunately, it’s already 1300H and I haven’t had any response/update from them yet.

As I was not expecting the car to be this late, I sold our spare car last week which caused me to commute for work.

but with the strike ongoing, my problems got worst. My question is, am I entitled to ask for a compensation for this hassle or am I too di** for that?

Compensation in the form of a Carbon Fiber Wing maybe?

All seriousness, they did offer to ship the car to you which is great but going on 3 weeks now, is a lot especially considering that it's only 7-9 hours away. Personally, I would say fuck it and go get the car. Either drive it back yourself or look for a company that would do it for you. Go get your car and bring a buddy for support. Make a road trip out of it!

Haha I wish I could. But like a rental car for the meantime because I paid the shipping already to them.

problem is, the shipping is been paid for already + if I’m going there I need to spend 400-500 extra for a plane ticket. Tried to look for diff truck already and they said atleast 10 days for them to pick up the car.

PM bro

Make sure you keep all the communication records. I personally would get the car first, once you have possession, I would worry about compensation.

But ya I am no lawyer just my 2 cents.

Good luck, hope you get it soon!

I purchased my car in Kelowna 2 years ago and it was exactly like your case. At the end, there’s nth they can do, 1: due to no truck going to their area to pick up my car. 2: weather - recently, snowing pretty hard in the lower mainland and it’s harder in the interior of bc. For my case, my car was delayed for 2 months. It was suppose to deliver before Christmas time and I received my car in early Feb.

Unfortunately I bet this is why a lot of small town dealers only want to sell local. (Aside from the whole back end profit from service and stuff)

 

[惹Raizzelle]

Thank you so much! I guess its a lesson learned for me. I should’ve handled the shipping by myself or picked it up.

one thing holding me back now is its already been paid. I’ll keep you guys posted. Thanks again for the input! Have a good day.
