I spent a lot of time getting the spec right, ordered it and waited 8 weeks for delivery.<br \/>\nWell, as you know, things aren&#8217;t always that straight forward for me when it comes to one of the <a style=\"text-decoration: none\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestcarsfeed.com\/luxury-suv\/\"><font color=\"#555555\">best luxury SUV<\/font><\/a>&#8216;s.<br \/>\nThe car was being delivered on Tuesday 31st July. The week prior we run around signing documents in order to get everything in place for the delivery. The Friday before I get a phone call to say that the dealer had ordered the wrong car! As it happens I was told that they had ordered the petrol instead of the diesel.If you want <a style=\"text-decoration: none\" href=\"http:\/\/www.crosscountrycarshipping.com\/blog\/\"><font color=\"#555555\">go to www.crosscountrycarshipping.com<\/font><\/a> to see more.<br \/>\nThis didn&#8217;t bother me because if a petrol had been available when I ordered it, I would probably gone with it. The savings on diesel does not outway the extra costs for the low mileage that the car will do. If I kept the car, it would be cheaper, but also I would get some cash back for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; to cut a long story short because I&#8217;m already bored with it&#8230; the petrol car turned up with the cruise control\/speed limiter missing and the wrong stereo installed&#8230; further investigation showed that it wasn&#8217;t actually the same car but a undpowered and underspecced version!<\/p>\n<p>So now I wait for a NEW and correct car to be delivered in another 8 weeks&#8230;By the way i will be using fuel injector cleaner from <a href=\"http:\/\/fuelinjectorguru.com\">fuelinjectorguru.com<\/a> with this new car so we&#8217;ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, for them, I can keep the car I have until they deliver it.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.icemark.com\/blog\/wp-images\/technorati_small.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"15\" alt=\"Technorati\"\/><\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Grand Scenic\" title=\"Grand Scenic\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Grand%20Scenic\" rel=\"tag\" >Grand Scenic<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Renault\" title=\"Renault\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Renault\" rel=\"tag\" >Renault<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"New Car\" title=\"New Car\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/New%20Car\" rel=\"tag\" >New Car<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Car\" title=\"Car\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Car\" rel=\"tag\" >Car<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" alt=\"Cockups\" title=\"Cockups\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Cockups\" rel=\"tag\" >Cockups<\/a><br\/>\n<h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Posts:<\/h3><ul class='related_post'><li>No Related Posts<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well I got my new car last week.
