Chris,

I'm just sending you an email!

James

Thanks for the phone call and the advise regarding my next steps. I have left 2 messages now for the Sales Mang to ring me, but he has yet to muster the courage. I will post news when i get it.

Thanks again for the help and taking time out on your day off to chat to me.....I look forward to my next LR purchase with you at the top of my list.

Chris

No problem Chris, keep us posted as to how you get on.

James

Chris W, If I was you I'd get my deposit back off these lying muppets and go and see James-thousands of pounds for factory priv glass

I got Film fitted for £180 by the same fella who does them for my local dealer and they put £150 quid on top for them selves,
I paid £500 for my sports kit from Guy Salmon Stockport and the same bodyshop My local dealer uses fitted it for £120 and they bonded it on as the sticky stuff doesn't really work and the kit starts peeling off.

Thanks for the info....hopfully will speak to the sales guys todays as no show yesterday. I do feel like pulling the plug on the deal just because of the way they have tried to slide in the film rather than what i asked for, but we will see what they have to say today.

James may well be getting a call after all....

Will update today on results...

yes I would agree, and you can't compare privacy glass to tints.

privacy glass is a factory fitted option, and tints are an after market accessory which in my own personal opinion devalue a car, as unlike privacy glass is not permanent and will deteriorate over time.

Just a quick update. Spoke with Sales Manager...and at the moment he's now looking round for a car with Glass not the film tint, advised him to give us options on what colours are available, we orginally asked for this

LR2 - GS - MANUAL - S Black
SPORTS KIT
PRIVACY GLASS


I also told him that we need an answer today....It's alot of beer tokens to pay for something what your not happy with.

the saga continues............................

But i did speak to another sales rep who told me that the Glass will be tint (film) if fitted at the dealership and further more if is was a factory fittied i would have cost thousands of pounds. is this correct..

Chris

Sounds like a stock car to me

the factory tinted glass option is only £300 iirc so it's not that much more than aftermarket tints

with factory you'll also not see the aerials built into the glass, with aftermarket you do Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Can you believe the cheek of this dealer, he has not phoned back . all day he has had to phone but nothing........
99% sure that i will be cancelling this car tomorrow with this dealer.....i will name and shame the dealer ship once the outcome is completed.

Get ya self on drive the deal . com

Well after waiting 2 days for the dealer to turn round a say he cannot get another car with Glass from the group. we have decided to cancel the order. What a joke and to top it all the sales guy said "we always put tints on when people ask for Privcey Glass" The car was orderd from new with Glass????...tried it on i think

Well after wasting 6 weeks we are back to square one...I think we need to get one on order before the VAT goes back up to 17.5%. Will drop James an e-mail soon to see what he has in stock or order new...

If anybody has any tips for best dealer give me a buzz

Will e-mail you soon James if you get this
