Rubbish.
We all know that getting the wrong colour Audi is at least equivalent to a minor act of god... volcano eruption, perhaps a small riot or governmental upheaval.

Honestly, you don't need a law degree to know that!

Unless it's a tripartite agreement (which is quite possible in finance situations). Even if not, VWFS have a contractual obligation to fulfil the terms of the contract as agreed; all it means is the customer should bh at VWFS and VWFS should be bhing at Audi. Whether VWFS or Audi take the hit doesn't matter, they can argue that between themselves.

But for lease cars, when is the contract actually signed - I thought it was typically just prior to delivery?

A contract doesn't need a signature to be in force.

Oh god, it's a lease.

The contract is between OP and the lease company.

The lease company have breached and he can reject if he wants, or negotiate a settlement to compensate him.


FFS too many bush lawyers on here!

I ordered a white vw tiguan r line with optional 19" savannah wheels. It arrived with 18" standard wheels..said no thanks as the order was correct with the dealer and vw factory had messed up the order somehow. So ended up with a free loan tiguan for the 3 months until got the correct car.. a pain but free car for 3 months...

I idly wonder why they didn't just change the wheels...

Obv she's not wrong....but I like it!

He's probably not wrong though - car sales contracts generally favour the dealer.

You could have a go at suing them but how would you assess damages?
