What has fallen off?

[Martin]

I wonder if the dealer has noticed something is missing from the back of this Cali?

Also, I wonder if he has actually noticed it is a T5 and not a T6 !!!

It's the new design, stops it falling out.

 

[calikev]

Not even a T6 discusting

 

[2into1]

Well he's added a 1. It's a T5 not as T6 as described.

 

[Martin]

Some poor git will end up buying that thinking it is an Ocean, you would expect that on eBay but not an official VW dealer.

 

[GrannyJen]

he can borrow one of mine. A couple lying in a road somewhere

What makes it worse is that dealer sells a lot of Cali's so you would hope they would know the difference between a T5 and T6, it is not even a listing error as they have actually typed in Ocean to the description.

A lot of dealers do a cut n paste of their ads, copy the last one and change pictures etc. I'm still dealing with the Dealership I bought mine from over a spec discrepancy & he's about to make good.

Agree it's unfortunate for the uninitiated though & shoddy for a VW shop. Does look bloody smart in black with those wheels though

 

[blakeley]

Sorry, not acceptable at all! Neither is that price. Not everyone is as clued up as they are on this forum, also that is an early 2015 T5, I suspect that is what the price would of been brand new , it is not even a 4Motion

 

[phillme]

it's also been up for sale for over a year

It must owe them a lot of money if they took it as a trade in.

Rusty wheel bolts

 

[Sandyvan]

I know this van I looked at it at Leicester VW van centre a few weeks ago, the high level brake light lens was on then, so its fallen off on route to Kettering...
How hard would it be to fit a new set of wheel bolts and some new burner heads on the hob.

 

[Gavinskii]

IMO it looks shocking without the privacy glass ..

 

[andyinluton]

Nice spec, hasn't someone just knicked the plastic caps off the wheel nuts.
New that would have been close to 60k with the wheels, upgraded lights, auto, awning etc

'3-Zone A/C System Climatronic, 5in Touchscreen, Climatic Cab A/C (Semi-automatic)'
It has two types of air con too??

 

[andyinluton]

and two types of wheels both 17" and 18" someones got a bit over enthusiastic with the cut & paste

 

[tuono001]

Currently in the process of buying a used car and dealers are very lazy. The amount of cut and paste done is surprising along with not checking it for the correct car.
Best just to look at the pictures and make your own mind up.

so a few things have fell off. the wheel bolt caps. the brake light lens and the word ocean on both sides. they have also lost their minds with the price...holy smoke 52 large...these things are fast becoming an investment.

Sadly the T5 Cali did not come with wheel bolt caps as standard. Also they cost a fortune.

Very bad form on the advert. All the engine spec is wrong too. You'd think VW would have some clever software to take the VIN and build the advert from that.... oh wait I just remembered who I was talking abou

 

[andyinluton]

T5.1 did come with the wheel bolt caps as standard.

Shore as hell they never traded it in as a T6......did they!

Are you sure? Someone had nicked them off mine when I picked it up from the dealer then!

 

[Rich20]

Mine didn't. Had to ask for some as I could not believe that they would supply expensive alloys without bolt covers.

 

[andyinluton]

They fell into the same category as the gas valve, front curtains, side window fly screens, awning winder etc - the dealers never checked they were there!
They were never mentioned in the accessories brochure or as an optional extra on the price list.
