I surprised people do not seek a valuation on day of delivery for curiosity. Depreciation or appreciation. People are paying a fair bit for a car, don't they want to know how much they have lost (or gained)? I would have lost a lot of time worrying and checking by treating my car like a trading com...

Car import savings in the early 90s was a bit of a false economy if you weren't keepiing the car a hell of a long time too. A 2 year old imported car was almost always worth less than a 2 year old car meant for the UK market, because it wasn't UK spec, even if it was RHD as a grey import from Irela...

I think this is an entirely valid thread, the questions are genuine, and there are some people out there who will pay a premium to get a car ASAP. I am glad you agree!

The replacement I choose would never get the grant pre-budget anyway and now will not either. All I am doing is using the profit on the ID.3 to effectively lower the price of the next EV. It is a good profit on return. £500 deposit so far and may be £5k profit (Okay <£28k to fund when it arrives - s...

I think you may be in a minority Cherry. Your order suggests you have a cancellaton car as mine was ordered the same time as yours and estimated delivery June 22. If you pocket a profit and reorder you will have a very long wait. All new cars are on similar lead times for the moment. My wife will k...

Knowledge is key. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll “In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating...

No, because most people ordered an ID.3 (and are enduring ridiculous wait times) because they actually want the car, not so they can make a quick buck. Honestly, take this conversation elsewhere. Asking to know what it can be sold for and selling it are two different things. Do you not understand t...

Have any people sought valuations of their ID.3 cars on the day of delivery to see what they can sell them for?
E.g. same supplying dealer, other dealers, Motorway.co.uk or privately etc.

I would be interested to see what offers were made.

Can VW finance be settled prior to collection?

It seems to me the £350 grant is a scam. It does not lower the price in real terms for the customer. I spoke to an electrician and he said I should buy a Wallbox myself for £490 and he will install for £160. But as a one-man-band he cannot claim the grant. Else, his company can apply for the grant, ...

Octopus Energy state a standard install includes:

A Type A RCD in metal Consumer Unit.

Does this mean they supply a mini-consumer unit (< £20 from Amazon) as standard?

Has anyone been told they need a mini consumer unit installed and if so, how much has this added to a quote?

Did you pay full RRP

the government website says the base ID3 The base model may be the (currently un-orderable) life pure. Have VW given up and not bothered to reduce the Life Pro 58Kw to below £32k? Now they can increase the difference between the Pro and Pro Performance to the previous levels. Time for Rishi to dump...

Zzzzzzzzzzz May be turning the driveway in to a car park with an EV charger and with an app charging people to use it. I think I can manage 8 cars on the driveway and there are 30k at a university students opposite me! I did order a second ID.3 the day before the budget hoping RIshi would scrap the ...

Octopus say headline price is now £549. When filling and select a charger the Ohme Pro shows £595. On email enquiry they claim it will be invoiced at £549. If you use a different Octopus Energy link then Ohme process it and sent it to their installers and charge over £700. I had one old £499 Octopus...

There's a few variables in the install price - either tricky cable routing whether a Matt-E box is used instead of an earthing rod, or any amount of cable over the standard 5m tether length can up the price. Mine cost £614 fully installed and following some of the tales of woe people have had with ...

I think Ohme are a joke. Octopus offer was £499 for Ohme Pro. It seems one needs to be in the South (where things are cheaper than the Midlands)! Then the offer increased to £549. Of course Ohme gives some nonsense message why it is not available and suggests one can get from £550. They send data to...

You're not obliged to give your car in p/x to get the price quoted for the new one. Get your car valued by motorway.co.uk before you hand that p/x over and sell to them if there's a difference. P/X values usually aren't much better than WBAC in most cases, and are often worse. They'll be expecting ...

Thanks for all the responses. This has been a bit of a learning experience. I've returned the car to the dealer today and agreed a refund of what I paid, less £1k, due to them and VW's marketing material not clearly explaining the deterioration in range performance to be expected during the winter....

Which is the final build week for VW factories this year? Is there a close down for ID.3 builds over Christmas, if so over which dates?
