Went into Stratstone Land Rover last Friday with a fixed appointment, got there on time but the salesman wouldn’t see me until a car they were reversing into the showroom was sorted , ten minutes late he came over to see me , took all my details , then told me he didn’t have the car in stock and he’d have to get it from another dealer , time was running on so I got up to leave .
Salesman didn’t appear suited by this but I told him he’d kept me waiting for 10 minutes and I was now running late , ring you on Monday with the details he said.
Its now Thursday and I haven’t heard a dickie bird.
f***ing useless .

Sorry , you ve lost me completely there pal .
This, half the fuckers buying from them don’t read the small print
Just when you said you had to leave before an ‘ugly incident’ happened, what did you mean exactly?

Ah right ! I left to avoid an argument caused by the staff being obnoxious and frankly insulting.
My wife was with me and she doesn’t hold back on the verbals being from Wigan.
I wouldn’t lower myself to giving them a damn good thrashing if that’s what you thought.
That said it wouldn’t surprise me if some people less peaceful than me would have given them a kicking .
Why are you so concerned btw ?
Wigan you say....?

It's true some places. They're not idiots, they know you're there because the price is right most of the time.The price on the screen is what you pay
I didn't pay and agreed a price and ordered before I arrived. It was free.

There is always room for manoeuvre in any negotiation, I have never paid full price for any car.
It just sounded a bit self righteous and aggressive mate
quite funny really

Aye, I pretended to accept a warranty for an extra bit money.
They don't really haggle as such, no more so than a high street shop.
People used to say that about Mercedes and Porsche dealerships, it’s a myth, it’s all about how you phrase it.
You have to be prepared to walk away if they won’t give you a discount, then just sit and wait for the phone to ring.

Do you haggle in Curry's?
I price match in John Lewis, and get a better warranty as a result, and if I’m doing a big shop there are ways to get cash back.

Well that's a given. It's almost always cheaper in Costco.

Honestly can’t bare dealing with car salesmen.
I’ve walked out of many dealerships and had a right run in with evans halshaw Cramlington a few year ago.
Tried charging me £50 extra a month on a car deal plus a deposit, usual car salesmen patter and drivel.
Evans halshaw shiremoor were willing to do the same car for £50 a month cheaper plus no deposit.
Received a phone call from cramlington dealership saying what I had done was wrong and I shouldn’t be comparing prices at two dealerships
Reckons he was going to report the manager from shiremoor as he had took his sale.

The price on the forecourt which was the same as shiremoor deal didn’t match what he was offering.

At one point I even said match shiremoor deal and what you are displaying outside and I will just go with you as I’m here now.
He knocked £5 a month off the £50 extra he was already charging
I honestly thought it was a set up and some camera crew were going to appear from the back saying we have had you!
Once I had walked out that is when the phone calls started saying what I had done was wrong
you can imagine the words I used to reply.

Walking away from idiots I can do without is neither self righteous or aggressive - it’s usually the best policy as they lost out on a deal in the end.
It wasn’t intended to be a hard man at all . They’re the idiots not me.
Take care pal
