I'm not sure the inventory will get in any earlier. I have a custom order from the 1st of November and a Inventory Order. The inventory is scheduled for January while the custom order is due for pickup week after next.
I tried this on Friday, I saw an identical car to my order in Southampton, my car is expected 1st Jan and is in Belgium.
I spoke with he delivery lady and said I did have a hidden vin assigned, she advised me that I should not "trick" the system to look at the vin because that vin could change at any time and the vin i see is may not have no relation to the vin that i will get and that as far as anyone is concerned no vin has been assigned to me until it is officially on the page, i said great...because I wanted to change to an inventory car that is in southampton.
She then advised me that I couldn't just switch to that car as I had a Vin assigned, wait. What?
"But you just told me the vin can be changed at any time?"
Sounded like she was talking out of her arse to be honest, one way or the other, I had to sit through about ten mins of absolute bullshit excuses.
I was then told that the only way is to put a 2k deposit on the inventory car and then cancel my existing order BUT the inventory car even though it is in the UK will not get to me before 1st Jan.
I then asked about the cars that are in Dartford, would those get to me before 1st Jan?.....She reluctantly agreed....
I then went offline, made an order for an inventory in Heathrow because the one in Dartford had already gone, called back up to have the details switched over, waited 10mins on hold and then got kicked off hold when everyone went home at half past four and they do not work over the weekend.
Make of that what you will.
