    Buying New Experience

    Following my original visit to Inchscape Chester when my experience was less than perfect,
    "no sorry we don't have any D5's available for you to test drive"
    "no sorry we won't have one tomorrow either" etc. I won't bore you with the rest. . . .

    I went in to pay for the car yesterday and my experience was significantly better.

    A couple of things to watch out for.
    Sales guy banged two reg plates on the desk along with bag of car care goodies and my SIM card.
    reg plates were upside down and I didn't get much chance to look, there was a lot going on.
    Once it was registered I realised my reg plate virtually spelt out a word that I'd rather it didn't.
    I'm not sure this was a distraction technique but it felt like it might have been.

    Also I took out the PCP and agreed a 12K p.a. It takes a lot of finding among all the docs they get you to sign to find the actual agreed mileage, which, turned out to be 10K p.a - not a prob for me, but maybe for someone.

    Other than that it was a good experience - their coffee is good too Very Happy
    I'm collecting my car from Solihull factory on Wednesday, so nothing more to add yet.

    cheers

    Naw, need to see it! I can be a bit thick at times. Laughing

    That said, maybe someone at the dealership had them made that way for a laugh? Did you see anyone watching? Snigger

    hi Dave,
    I don't think it was for a laugh, I'm thinking they use this trick with everyone until they get rid of numbers that are difficult to sell.

    Time to get a private plate and transfer it to the new car each time you come to sell?
