Who is the dealer, and was this all agreed before the sale?  That's a lot of work being done by them, which is either coming out of your pocket, or their profit margin. Either way a sorted car for the spring time :-)

Maundrells near Wantage - They had already told me this work was going to be done before delivery - as there was under 6 months left on the MOT they are putting a new one on too. This was all included in the price, hence minimal negotiation on screen price, but pretty happy that the car will be fully sorted when i collect it.

Can't fault them to date - they have been excellent from the start - also comes with 3 months parts and labour warranty

I nearly bought one from Maundrells and had similar discussion- no movement on price but they would fix what needed doing, some of which they very honestly pointed out to me rather than other way round. In the end I bought from another specialist whose procedure was exactly the same.

Bet you're glad you didn't get it for this weekend - you will have needed a canoe..!

Very glad - given me time to paint the garage floor so it cures in time.

MOT yesterday with flying colours - hope to pick up next Saturday ????????????? (like an excited kid on Xmas day)

You'll have to get used to looking over your shoulder every time you leave the car to admire how great it looks?

Have you picked this up now?

He's getting it tomorrow - TBH I think he's too excited to type...

Last time I saw him this excited was when I offered to settle the bar tab

i have posted pics in the Newbie section - where i should have posted this in the first place - sorry Mods!!

 

I won't corrupt the new car post. Enough to say we've had an exchange on the work instant messenger.

Apparently I am jealous of his hair and that's exactly the response I would expect from a Salesman...

Frankly its a miracle the working relationship lasted as long as it did...
