VW has alloted me a January 2012 Vento - not yet registered in my name - only alloted - should I go ahead?

Hey madnish30,

I thought you just took delivery of your c class? Ideally you should ask for a more recently manufactured vehicle as a five month old car may have issues, unless they are giving some benefit additional here.

Since this is Jan 2012,I doubt that's the case?

Hey Karan!
Yes - did take the C class some two weeks ago - but need an everyday sedan, exclusive for myself (C is family partially chauffeur driven) so got a Vento, I wanted Black one he had only one in stock which was 5 months old - I insisted on VIN before registeration in my name, after which I found out it's 5 months old - he insists it was billed to him in April, but is not willing to show any proof - hence I switched to a April manufactured Silver one, the March manufactured Blue one he had was Fenurary manufactured and the blue din't appeal to me as much.

I think I caught the dealer who had got the car in Jan/Feb but was billing it in April (post budget) and saving the excise! These guys, if one is not careful you can easily be taken for a ride, thanks to the PDI Checklist - I outsmarted them! Proud BHPian moment :-D

Thanks alot Wildon!!!

But unfortunately, due to various reasons i had to change the color of the car to White. Now, I went to the stock yard again and selected another car.

The VIN is : malcu41ulcm061619*d

Can you please help me with similar data for this one! This VIN i noted from under the seat.

Really appreciate all your help!

Hi Wildon. This is for my friends Skoda Rapid. The VIN is TMBBLDNA4CG019140.
The dealer says the car is in stock & can be delivered immediately.Just want to confirm it hasn't been lying around too long. Thanks in advance.

I decoded it from the steps on the first page. Thanks again. Not able to delete the above from my team Bhp app.
