Time line :-
Tuesday - saw a couple of nearly new Rs that we might have been interested in.
Wednesday - rang the dealers, both of whom said there was no discount on them and the PCP % was over 11%. I said I may as well just buy a new one to which they both agreed. (just out of curiosity, how then will they ever sell those two nearly new Rs?). Anyway, the second dealer says he's got a GTi PP in the compound so why didn't I go and have a look at that. I said I wanted to wait and see the Edition 40 if I was going to go down the GTi route. Dealer says that isn't due for at least another year and that the R400 would see the light first so I agreed that if it was going to be that long we'd go have a look at his GTi.
Thursday - pictures all over Autocar/Auto Bild etc. of Clubsport due "early 2016". Not exactly "at least a year away" methinks so I rings him up to cancel my Sunday appointment cos I want to see the Clubsport in the flesh first. He's not in so I leave a message for the receptionist to ell him.
Friday - I rang again out of politeness to make sure he got the message that I wouldn't be in on Sunday. Receptionist says he'd ring back as soon as he got off the phone. Still waiting ....
Moral 1 - dealers basically haven't got a clue what's going on and I may as well stick to reading Autocar/Auto Bild for info. as they seem t know more.
Moral 2 - stick to the dealer you know (in my case, Donny who've always been good) as the others are clueless/useless/ignorant etc. etc.
