Well, I thought I'd better bring you up to speed (thanks Joshie for the PM!
). We did get our deposit back and managed to get a great deal on a brand new Fiat Grande Punto, in the beautiful shade of 'New Orleans Blue' - that's metallic royal blue to you and me,
with 1 year's tax, a full tank of petrol and a week's free insurance - all for almost £1000 under the book price!!!
To say we're chuffed with her is an understatement, okay, so we haven't driven her over 60mph yet (we're breaking her in!) but the potential for speed and 'nippy' power is definitely there.
There were a few niggles in getting a delivery date and the salesman was so slimy he'd turn a worm off! He actually put an 'x' in front of Lee's name so that the registration documents came back wrong - the lad at the DVLA told me that this is a common thing that salespeople do when they don't like a client!!!
How childish!!!:muted: I will NEVER use the showroom in question EVER again, and neither will anyone I know (or don't) while there is still breath in my body! :gnasher: :crazy:
So thank you for your support and I am once again a happy motorist!
