They were having you on then IMO . There's a price list if you to the reception you will see a glossy free mag with all the service costs. Anyway looks like it fooled you

 

they probably thought I looked too common for one of their cars, and tried to put me off. Bit of a bugger, it was only a few years old, a convertable, and a very very good price. Bugger. Another car I always fancied was an aston martin, but was told they needed 2 services a year at about 900 a pop, was that bull too??
Anyway, too late now, i am in that mindset thingy, need a new black car, even though I always said I would never buy a brand new car.

 

Well you only have one major or one minor service a year, the minor one I had this year was about 300 quid (free though to me ). Next years major is 550 IIRC. Not sure where they got 1000 quid from

 

They may have added on the cost of all the biscuits I ate in their showroom.

 

I haven't heard many good things about JCT, Dave. Especially if you don't look wealthy enough to be driving a Porsche!

 

Could quite be true Bassoctopus. Anyway, I wanted to ask you a favour, do you still have my mobile #? Could you send me a text when the money is required for the wash mits, incase I miss it please?
Good to hear you are still okay. We really must meet up for a mini drive some time.

 

Bloody Hell, and a corner to boot!!!!!

 

There is a JCT near me, it has Lotus, Ferrari, Maserrati and Porsche.

I was allways made to feel welcome even in my dirty work clothes.

What I found when I talked to some of the salesmen was that they
would get people all dressed up coming in, dreaming and wasting
their time. One time this scruffy pikey type walked in and everyone
dropped everthing to attend to him, he was their best Ferrari customer.

Russ.

 

I'll try and remember

Drive would be good, if the roads ever dry out

 

and a known customer

only 1:1,000 dress like **** and have the other attributes of a poor person (say a rust bucket car outside and a Leigh Park postcode) when looking at an expensive car

salespeople know this and treat customers accordingly

those selling performance tackle also get a LOT of dreamers (aka timewasters if you are selling)

I agree that you also get people trying to look as if they can afford something they really can't
