I recently took a forward step in my career (very welcome in these tough times) which has afforded me the chance to change cars. As some of you will know I have been driving a 10 year old C for the last 18 months.... I thought I would like to change it for a new one. After much research I have decided to lease.... So, I have looked at lots and lots of websites and seen some pretty reasonable deals on a new C. I also spotted the VW Passat CC and went to my local dealership to enquire. I walked into the showroom and told the salesman that I was looking to lease a new CC. "Step this way", he said. After test driving me and announcing that he was willing to "Do a deal" he came up with a figure twice that which I had seen on the internet. When I questioned it and showed him a website (www.lingscars.co.uk) he said, and I quote "Oh, well you need to talk to our lease dept then" I said "well yes obviously as I am looking to lease that would make sense" .
To cut a long story short I have not heard from them.....
Then I came across Honda. While I was investigating I had a call from MB central saying my MOT was due and did I wish to book it in. My reply was no as I had already had it done but while they were on would they like to quote me for a new car on a PCH. They took my details in terms of my local dealer and said they would be in touch. Amazingly, I have heard nothing back.
As a result I am taking delivery of a brand new 2.2i Dtec EX on wednesday......
I would have bought an MB if only they rang me back..... likewise a VW.
amazing.......
