9 major faults? [:0][:0] I wonder who it was that spotted them? Hearing how bad some dealers are it wouldnt surprise me to think that some of the owners on here have cars that should have been rejected on quality grounds! At least it gives you a chance to really shaft the dealer for a decent discount.
The list for mine was £19,165 with all the options, in the end they offered £1,750 discount. I went off and thought about it for a night and went back the next day. I sat there with my cheque book open in front of me and a pen in hand. I said if they threw in the metallic paint free I'd write the deposit there and then. The salesman went off to ask the Sales Manager who came out to talk to me. Blah blah low margins..blah...cost price...blah...long delivery makes trade in worth less....he said he couldn't do it so without taking my eye off him I put the top back on my pen, closed the cheque book and told him I'd find a dealer who would throw it in. You should have seen the look on his face! He couldn't back pedal fast enough
. So all in all I got a discount of £2,040 which I think was pretty good! [^][^]
I am still finding random screws lying about which I'm sure should be attached somewhere! So far one big mutha of a bolt rolling around in the drivers foot well on collection and another one under the rear bench. I've decided to think it adds character
. As does the noise when I slam the drivers door, something akin to a "think" as opposed to a "thunk"!
