Thanks for the concern guys. Mark has been fair to me so far and is determined to resolve any issues with the car when they are back from their Christmas break. I'm keen to give him a chance first before jumping to demanding a refund as his customer service has been very good so far and has done nothing but reassure me that they'll get the issues sorted. This obviously doesn't redeem the fact the car was not as described over the phone nor was it inspected to a half decent standard before being delivered.
As for 30+ being for sale on autotrader. Filter on 5 doors, DSG and the full spec I want you are looking at 1-3 if you are lucky.
Hopefully you get all the issues resolved as I was fobbed off repeatably and it dragged on for what seemed like a lifetime, I was told that I would be getting a BAC's transfer the following morning and it took another 3 Weeks! Mark actually went on holiday during that time too and I was told by a very unhelpful colleague of his that he was the only person that could deal with the issue. As this was all going on the 90 Day Warranty was getting closer!
As said in the end I gave him a deadline and a lengthy Email stating my dis-satisfaction towards his company, Also that I would not hesitate to Copy and Paste every message between myself and him on every Car Owners Club I am a member of!
He payed up that day, Then I was banned from his Facebook page.
Incidentally the chap I sold the Civic Type R to actually wanted to buy the car before I did but because it was Revitup that was selling it he refused to deal with them due to a previous issue which he didn't disclose with me.
Understand what you are saying with regards to being limited when you want a particular Spec on an ED30 but I would have asked for my money back and would just be patient for the right example to come up, I viewed 6 ED30's before buying my last one.
I would not normally get involved with a post like this or by naming a garage but I have heard of quite a few instances including my own where people have been taken advantage off by this dealership. He does have a good reputation on paper and that is why I dealt with him but I wouldn't ever go again!
