Like one of the other members of this site, I ordered a VW Touran in January of this year and paid an immediate non interest-bearing deposit. The car was due for delivery on 3 May, a wait of 14 weeks. Unfortunately a week before I was informed that they had a problem with their supplier and were having to re-order the vehicles. The expected due date was now 8 June, a wait of 19 weeks. I made several calls in the run up to 8 June to confirm that the car would be delivered as scheduled and was told that it was still on the system for an 8 June delivery. 8 June came and went with no communication. After sending an e-mail of complaint, I was informed that ...  Read the complete review

I ordered an new Audi A3 on a 4-8 week (estimated) delivery date. At week 9 and after receiving no calls from the sales staff I enquired as to the whereabouts of the vehicle. It took over 10 days of constant calling to be finally told that I had a further 8 weeks to wait. I am now entering week 18 of my 4-8 week order. Virgin Cars still can not give me any information as to where the car is. At no point have they offered any information without me first having to call them. 3 seperate sales staff have promised to call me back and failed to do so. Anyone placing an order should read the small print. For example they add 30 days onto the delivery date before they ...  Read the complete review

Having recently bought two cars, one from Jamjar, which was a desaster - one from Virgincars, which was great, I can only recommend the latter. They really succeed in customer service (I am not an employee and I can't stand Richard Branson, so this is no plug!). They take care of you from the word go, sending you a detailed welcome pack, punctually updating the individualised section that lets you keep track of your order and sending you another information pack towards the end of the waiting period that informs you about the delivery process. Their telephone staff is friendly and competent and they phone you back when they say they do. The only downside is the very .  Read the complete review

I ordered my new car, a Ford Mondeo 2.0 TD Ghia, from Virgin cars just before christmas. The price of the car is probably the best price from any import dealer, you get a three year warranty and a years roadside assistance, the same offer as any UK FORD Dealer will offer but saving a massive 26% off the price. I was quoted 19 weeks from after the cooling off period that every potential buyer has when ordering on the internet or telephone. This would then be 19 weeks from 26 December 2000 give or take a day because of the Bank Holidays! So the expected date of arrival of the new car is 7 May 2001 quite a long wait but then again quite a large saving! ...  Read the complete review
