Hello all.
Recently joined your forum, but have been reading over your pointers for weeks.
I read about Carwow and how this would give you an idea of discount that may be available. This allows you to get discount you may have missed out on.
I phoned and arranged a test drive with Giffnock MB, we had a chat on the phone about discount and they said they wouldn't be far away on price. I had been in one day prior to Christmas and the salesman was very good and not pushy however this fella was off on the sick, so someone else would look after me.
I booked the test drive for a C250Amg and made the 90 mile trip, it was a wet day in February; bloody wet. I arrived on time we had a quick chat and he went and got the car reversed it to the showroom door (still wet), I jumped in and well.... the car was dirty on the outside as the roads were black with salt and grime, however the inside.. it was worse; the footwell was full of mud, dirt, stones, bits of pine needles and to top it off bits of a Twix!
Anyway we proceeded on the test drive, me not being used to the auto thought the car was a wee bit flat but put it down to my driving. I got 9 miles of a test drive! I had drove 90miles!! We got back and it was now dry and had a look round the car, the car was a lovely but dirty, however when I went to the boot I spotted the badge it was a 220d, I said I had booked a test drive in a 250d, the reply; we don't have one for you to test drive!
Anyway we went inside and the salesman thought he would produce the thumb screws. So have you got your wallet, "eh no I have forgot it" I had forgot it that morning rushing about and getting a two year old to nursery and all that.
How were you going to buy the car today? I wasn't was my reply; I wanted a test drive with a view to purchasing one, just not today. I wanted to take my wife and let her have a drive in the car. He then said I hope you have plenty of fuel in the tank to get you home. I said I did. So anyway we parted company at that and I said I would think about the deal. I did to my word phone him back and say it wasn't for me. I didn't elaborate, the car was what I was looking for but it just wouldn't be from that dealership.
Just wondered if anyone else has had any poor service from a "prestige" MB dealership?
Part 2 to come later....
Sorry it was a long post.
