Alex 30628 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 2 minutes ago, The Fish said: Took an old 5 series estate out for a test drive, but it felt old, brakes were spongy as fuck and the upholstery was tired. When it was clear the sale wasn't looking positive the salesman gave up and acted like a right sullen cunt. So I go to test drive another couple of cars I'd found. Just so happens one of them is at a sister dealership of this place. I get there, am treated well, take the 1 Series out for a test drive and love it, go away "to think about it", get £400 knocked off the price and pick the car up the next day. Job's a good un. Then I get a phonecall from the branch manager who says the first guy is claiming that because he saw me first, I'm his customer and he should get the commission He didn't sell me the car he showed me, he didn't show me the car I bought, and in truth he put me off buying the car he showed me. Salesmen... all cunts, but this one was premium grade arsehole. Hope you told them that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to drive when none of that's happening though lol and yes you're a cunt now Aye, a mate warned me about that so I started googling This is local; http://www.independent-bmw-servicing.co.uk/ but I got inexplicably angry at the matey "Too broke to visit a garage" and "For a service with a smile (not a grunt)". That was compounded when they say "When people use jargon, they may as well be talking to you in Clingon! Sometimes it'd be nice if somebody would explain things in plain English." "Clingon" ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9072 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Will do, cheers. fwiw, I got a good deal with Admiral, both of us are insured fully comp on both cars for £1k between us. I've had no "No claims bonus" as I've been a named driver on various policies rather than accumulating them on a policy of my own. She's lost her no claims because some Chelsea tractor claimed £700 for a paint job after a supermarket fender bender. *shaky fist* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19915 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Avoid the official bmw garages like the plague. I used to have a 325i, took it in as it kept cutting out because of an electrical fault. They tried telling me it would cost £10k to fix, which was more than the value of the car at the time. I took it to the local garage, they got it moving again for about £100 then I part exchange it for £7k a few weeks later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
