Hi All
This is sort of stalking related due to it being my shooting vehicle, but I had to have a moan somewhere
You would think in the present climate car dealerships would be fighting for any business they could get wouldn't they???????
I've been thinking about changing my L200 pickup, so over the Xmas break I had a ride around the local dealerships in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
I'm probably going to stick with another Mitsubishi but thought I would check out the opposition as well.
Here's how it went
I started off by going to the local Mazda dealers as my mate Andy has one and it seems quite a nice truck, they never had a single pickup in stock said "they don't sell many, they did have one but they sold it" :idea:
Then he said if I wanted to see one go to the Ford garage and look at theirs as they are the same.
What a salesman I wish he would go and work for our opposition
Next a trip up to a very big Toyota dealership.
I thought this will be different?? Hundreds of cars in stock guess what hadn't got a single pickup in stock the salesman said he thinks they have one but one of the managers has taken it home for Xmas but he would get some one to contact me in the new year
Ok I thought bugger the other makes I'll stick to the Mitsi, fair play they had three in stock. The chap was very helpful and said he would sort me a price out see what was available in the new year and be in touch.
Next I contacted a huge Mitsi dealership in the next county who advertise special deals on L200's.
The chap rang me back took my vehicle details and said he would get back to me with a price
Well here I am two week's later and I haven't had any contact from any of them
It makes me wild, the b*****d's don't deserve any business.
Anybody had similar experiences
