If getting called buddy gets you fuming you would have had a heart attack if you had heard what a mate of mine got off a car salesman.
Years and years ago my mate who was a manager in the council had a Punto that he bought just to get about in. Hes not at all into cars.
He had bought it from the local Vardys and had it around 3 years when he enquired about trading it in for something else.
The salesman asked what he had in mind and my mate said something sporty like an MGF.
The salesman then proceeded to tell him that he had delusions of grandeur before putting the phone down on him.

Call that being grumpy!!!
That's nowt! I'm the same age and surrounded by little shits spouting bollox every day, they think im a Neanderthal Having to tell the little Bastards to grow some cobblers daily.
They think sat in front of a computer playing with paperclips all day creating work that isn't needed is a hard day's work . Put them in the steelworks in the late 70s and early 80s......then they'd know about it

I'm going to have a lie down now

Why not tell us who the dealership is so other forum members can decide if they want to take a chance with that standard of service then the sales manager that you've done it!

Am I a grumpy old ba$tard? you bet I would have been asking for the service manager by the y of the second buddy - boils my pi..... For the money there going to take off you for a new Zed they need to up their game or move on your new BMW buddy!

I think most dealers are blesses with such issues. For me in recent months:

For my F Type a dealer called and told me my service was due. Advised her it had been completed locally last month. She then went on rambling about the price they offer and being a diesel it would be the same price. Diesel F type?? Asked why she's telling me the prices after it's been serviced was responded to by 'for next year'... OK so if I book in is now for 2019 is that the price 'no - it will likely be more'...

Landrover - when entering dealers I was asked if I wanted new or used. Don't know yet until I see them, prices and compare. Told I had to specify as sales team are only allowed to discuss their respective area, so would I like a coffee and when I had decided she's get the sales person to meet me. Very helpful so I said new, declined the drink, looked and then went and purchased dealer demo elsewhere a week later..
