Had some hassle with my dealership, phoned me to tell me the car has arrived but Suzuki have added compulsory extras totalling £687. These so called factory extras where the paint treatment ( crap) mats, flaps , sill protectors, and a boot liner. Told them I didn’t want the extras and I said the only ones I’d consider where the mud flaps, dealer said £200 for the flaps , I laughed and walked out. They must think I’m daft, I know they are upselling to try and get a few more pounds. I left a £1000 deposit in November , I’m paying cash’s I no interest in their pocket didn’t want service plan , gap insurance, ect. So they don’t think they’ve extracted enough from me.
I would have thought that having paid the deposit, you have a contract with the dealer to provide the car spec that you ordered, and if push comes to shove, you can expect them to abide with that contract and take them to court if they don’t. Of course if they want to avoid the legal proceedings and throw in the accessories for free.......
The problem is that you cannot select a spec at the moment. You get offered whatever turns up and you can take it or wait for another
The post was about accessories which are, I think dealer fitted, so I think there’s some sharp practice here.

They are still insisting they will have to take it off ( but that’s them just saving face) so by the end of next week I should have it in my possession. Then sell my other for spares or repairs.
Have a good look at the wheel arches. I saw a youtube video showing how to fit mudflaps which were the official ones I think, and the process involved cutting some of the wheel arch plastic trim away.

This happened to me too. However I don't think it's the dealers fault, the first cars that they will get will be March. I think it might be a geographical thing. All the dealers in East Midlands for example appear to be getting first allocation in March.
The more I read about this roll out the more I think Suzuki have really dropped the ball, I understand that there are supply constraints but even so it's like a sketch from Monty Python or the Two Ronnies only less funny. I'm feeling quite sorry for all you getting nowhere with it I really am.
