Today. Washed it.
Yesterday. Had it serviced and forbade them to wash it.
It’s often an interesting experience sat in a dealership on a busy Saturday and yesterday was no exception.
I couldn’t get the WiFi to work or get a mobile signal so was entertained by the cringeworthy sales guys and their patter. Never mind free coffee, they should provide sick buckets in the waiting room for those innocently subjected to sales staff BS.
There’s no privacy for clueless unsuspecting potential punters, they’re directed to a table and chairs in full public view right next to the waiting area then subjected to the inevitable PCP brainwashing.
I was having to bite my tongue a few times in order not to correct the sales guys and inform the punters on a few things. Maybe I’m in the wrong job!
A few interesting cars to take my attention too. A nice white silver 2018 GTI with leather caught my eye, as did an unregistered white 7.5 GTI in basic spec for £26.5k. With a bit more off that sticker price I’d have been tempted myself in a previous life, just to say I’d owned a FL model.
Two white up! GTI’s were knocking about and I had a meander around them. Was tempted to ask for a test drive just for the hell of it. Thankfully the sales guys were busy so I just spectated instead.
The dealership was packed actually. VW must be doing ok and Brexit can’t be putting people off buying.
I guess the up! GTI is the only sporty model left with a real gearbox now. A shame.
