I knew my up! was on it's way. Build week was 37, and the dealership had kinda promised me that I would definitely have the car before October 1st.When ordering the up!, I tried to trade-in my '99 Peugeot 106, but the Volkswagen dealer wouldn't give enough for it. So I decided to try and put it up for sale on my own. Which I did on Sunday the 30th of September at 2:30 in the morning, not knowing how long it would take to sell it, or if it was possible at all. Well, some 14 hours later the old Peugeot was gone, and I got a good deal more than the dealership had offered.
Downside was that I at that point still didn't know when the up! would arrive. Fortunately I could borrow the outlaw's (in-law's) car, and I was only scheduled to work Monday through Wednesday last week anyway.
And last Wednesday I had a call from the dealership; my new up! had arrived. Oh joy, oh happiness! Still, I would have to wait until Friday to pick up the car, since it was to have an anti-corrosion treatment (I don't know the correct English term for it).
Friday I picked up the car. I've put around 400 km. on it over the weekend. And driving the car is just a dream. Everything just works, and it works like a charm. I just love it!
Below, I have posted a couple of pictures for you all to enjoy.
Oh BTW, to the story goes that the dealership already fitted the steelies/winter tyres on the car. So Saturday morning I changed them back to the black 16" Triangle alloys. I just had to see how it looked.
