The odd thing is that I get checked out way more in my 2004 Polo. But more smiling from workmen in the Zed. Very odd. I think I had a bit of an early mid life crisis and wanted to do something mad and went on the hunt for a nice car as I spend a fair bit of time driving. After a few test drives it was between the Zed and Elise but the ///M won for so many reasons. I was quite surprised I did it all on my own. Was quite a little project for a while. OK had a male friend with an ///M join me to make the final decision but day of collection I went down to South coast on my own to pick her up and felt very liberated to say the least driving off. The dealer wanted me to text him when I'd got to my destination as he was worried about me! Oh and if I was attached would not be spending so much time on the net...

Good point, have bought a fair few new cars, but not once have i seen or been helped by a saleswoman.

Because most of them are not interested in cars. They don't know technical terms. They probably don't even know how engine works.

When I went to the Berrys Chiswick they allocated me a female car saleswoman and she was rubbish. That's probably why. Took my business elsewhere.

the sales geezer i was chatting to about minis in the local bmw garage the other day didn't know how the twin turbo worked.

so technical nous doesn't come into it, he had a certificate behind him on the wall as well, for some bmw training...
 
Have I missed much? Just been down the river doing the washing. Can't stop long, got to go and dust the mantelpiece and prepare the veg for tomorrows dinner :stir:
