^And that is why i laughed at what i got offered on a PX wise on a new 200 for my minty LY 182 (when i say mint i mean bare miles, garaged every day and only used at weekends, recent cambelt service mint) yesterday!
The dealer reckoned mine wouldnt go up on his forecourt for anymore than £7500 so i replied why was a 53 plated iceberg silver, ten to the penny 172 up on your forecourt in may when i was having my service done for £7995!? lol
He responded by saying he didnt know but sold an R27 last week on the smae milage (30k) for £9995 even though i had already told him i knew they were circa 12k privately.....They are a joke tbh and i feel for people who go into these dealers not knowing much/having not researched the car much they are going to have gander at/buy!
I went to a dealer the other day, to get a price on the clips for the rear spoiler!!!
Me:
Hey, i need some mounting clips for my 1991 Clio 1.8 16V
Dealer:
The Mk. 1 Clio's never came with a spoiler, are you sure it is standard??
Me:
Ehh yeah!!
Dealer:
Ohh it must be a 2001 then???
Me:
No 1991 1.8 16V!!!!!!!!!!!
He then had to look out the window, before he realised what car it was!!
Then:
Dealer:
Ohh it is a 16V, thats type D57 right??
Me:
No it is B57!!!
Dealer:
Are you sure??? You better pop the hood, and we have a look!!!
Me:
Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the £8500 one wasn't anything special, just silver but was ff.
Was the guy actually serious?benfield ( scotswood rd, newcastle ) told my wife she would have to wait 2 hours for the front tyres to be changed on the R27 or "1 hour if you dont mind some scratches on them"
That ain't really that bad dear.That it would cost £76 to turn an airbag light off :dapprove:
Was the guy actually serious?
That ain't really that bad dear.
Thought I'd add my experience.
In Sandicliffe Ford in Leicester with my old man test driving an ST.
Dad: Is the Mondeo ST a turbo as well?
Saleswoman: No, its petrol.
Me: FLOL!
Seriously, who do they employ?
ST220 is a petrol.
Anyway, a new one.
"Squeeks and rattles are only covered for 3 months".
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!
Were you the saleswoman in question? :lolup:ST220 is a petrol.
You still don't make sense.
Wait, I got it.
I'll get my coat.
Took a trip to renaul bearsden
Me: I am looking to buy a clio 200 either pre reg or brand new
@rse: we don't have any 200 in stock up and down the country
Me: I will factory order a new one
@rse: It wont be here until June
Me: Ok I will go think again
20 minutes later took a trip to another dealer where my RB200 was in and they had a silver and black one on the forecourt aswell.
Clearly the guy just couldnt be bothered or thought I wouldnt buy one
