Boyakasha Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Well as the misses is looking for a new motor we booked a couple of test drives at the weekend, Boxster, 350Z Cab, Golf R32, and TT Quatro Sport. So turn up at Porsche great service no bull sh1t and couldn't have been more helpfull. Audi were great as well, just chucked us the keys and said off you go. This is where is goes t1ts up, turn up at VW and the sales man goes can you wait a minute, then proceeds to tell us that they have given the car to another customer who had booked a 24hr test drive but was supposed to pick it up after us. He then tries to justify it by saying that the guy had own 2 GTis and 3 R32, so I tell him I don't give a feck if he owned 10 Ferraris. Needles to say there will be a call to the Manager today to discuss and the misses is definately not buying one from them now. Next was a test drive in the 350Z, so I pick her up after it and she tells me that she couldn't take it over 4500rpm as they were still running it in, so what the feck was the point int test driving it What is wrong with the idiots!

jamie_wood Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Marc, Nowt worse then a Root Bag for a car salesman is there!! Cant understand why a guy thats had so many Golfs would need a 24hr test drive though?? Not too sure if the other half would like the 350z either. Heard a few complaints about them. Ladies think they are too big. Not sure if thats the right story or not. The porsche will be the best buy will it not? Residual value, etc Link to comment

Boyakasha Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Jamie the residuals is one of the main reason we looked at the Boxster, she loved the car and I think her mind was made up after that. It is so nice to be treated with some respect when you look at buying a car, I thik a lot of dealers could take a leaf out of their book. I know it is an expensive car but that should make no difference. If your looking to buy a Fiesta or a Ferrari you should be treated the same (in an ideal world ) Craig you should know what dealers are like in Aberdeen Link to comment
craig mac Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Mark I know what you mean, Been there at the R32 as well, told them to poke it where the sun dont shine..... Dare i say it, But Hyundai were fantastic last year when i bought the Tucson CRTD CDX, great to deal with and treated like royalty Pity the car never live up to what i expected..... advertised as 35mpg combined actual 18 So shifted that one quick smart They bought it back LOL Craig Link to comment

st3ph3n Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Been reading some reviews of the Cayman. Supposed to be better handling than a 911, but lacking the grunt. I think 1 in every 2 car salesmen is probably a knob end. Link to comment
craig mac Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Mark For the money, full leather, electric's, the dogs danglie bits it was a great machine and it was great to drive etc also 5 year warranty could not go wrong...................Fuel PMSL Not Hyundai's answer...........we cant explain it........ They bought it back from me at a small loss, and 3 months down the line i get a recall letter from Hyundai saying, that they have discovered the fueling problem it is a one day job please contact the dealer for this repair The shocking thing was that they knew that approx 1 in 5 of the Diesels had this problem If it were not for the fueling issue it would still be in the drive......Alongside the Scoob Craig Link to comment
