Dealer failing to deliver bike on time

[TravisBickle]

Got a bike on order from BMW.

Paid £1,000 deposit.

Estimated delivery date on the order form is 30th April 2024.

Last time I went in to pester them (a week or two ago) was told it'll hit the production line today (21st May 2024) and "should be delivered middle of June". Funny (not!) because this time last month they were telling me it "should be delivered middle of May".

Terms and conditions state:

My Skoda order took about a year, way before the scamdemic. TBF they never promised any dates.

The dealer has absolutely zero influence over the build schedule at whichever factory the bike is being built at

They will spin you any line they can to keep the customer pacified

You're lucky to get a date out of them tbf, honda just said we'll let you know last year then eventually it arrived and we had a date.

Dont think you'll get a discount but unless you scour the country for one at a dealer that might have one in stock now, dont think you'll get anywhere

Be careful which dealer you buy it from.

They are all kunts.

I hope that helps.

If you cancel you’ll just lose your build slot to someone else.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

You have all failed to give me the answer I was looking for.

Bad forum!

BAD!!!

I'm off to see if I can be placated on VisorDown.

Bye!

I'll give you an answer. Stick BMW up their arse and get a cruiser instead.

you sign an order you're signing a contract to buy it

also if you've seen the bike and verbally agree to buy it

if they fail to deliver by the date then you can get out of the contract

In 1972 Dad ordered a new series 2a landrover - still waiting.
Probably lucky escape TBH.
It was the dealer cocked up though.
