The shambles that is audi

Lotus guy's blew me off last year - I guess wearing a ball cap, jeans and a sweat shirt suggests to some you don't have money?

I thought that was standard attire for a Lotus driver?

Ok, there is another twist in the tale!!
The guy from audi called me last night at 6:30pm whilst I was in the cinema. Lefta a message basically saying there had been a family crisis and he had been called down south (May sound harsh but after the previous service I think this is a total lie) and he has not got the car this week but can book me in early next week! He is supposedly gonna call me tomorrow to organise.
Im gonna go for the test drive then inform him that I prefer the Gallardo

I had been blown off my BMW dealer in 2004. My bad though!! I had shown up in jeans that had seen better days. I then went to BMW's Winter Driving School. They asked me about my BMW experiences and I mentioned the local dealership in unflattering terms. By the time I got back home I had a message from the owner of the dealership apologising for my experience and inviting me to visit. I did take him up on that offer and now I am treated VERY well!!

...If I were a V10 R8 potential owner though, I'd still be looking at sending the same money towards a Gallardo. You could get a later model for the same money (with the SE revisions, and better gearing and power...), and especially if I received that kind of attitude!

Me too, for that kind of cash - an Audi or a Lambo is no contest

Ok, I have a test drive this monday at 1pm so Ill reserve judgments on the cars performance+looks(not seen 1 in the metal and I didnt like the z4 till I seen it in the metal) and Ill put a review up here. Then if I dont like it I have a gallardo test drive arranged anyways

If they were serious about the sale, they would offer to bring the car to you or at least pick you up.

If you saw me walking up, you would hide your wife/daughter and never even think of letting me drive your car
I have almost reached the 20Ducks "redneck hairstyle" level

For my first BMW purchase I went t a dealer near my house. He rode with me on the 2 mile test drive and would not budge on the price for a used 318i. He quoted the asking price and walked away without hearing my offer. I drove 25 miles to the other dealer and the salesman gave me the keys and told me to have some fun. 1 hour later we had a deal for a better car for $5k less than the first guy. He even came to my job to pick me up the day I collected it. I bought my next 2 cars from him.
