There's about 3k in the difference for a diesel, so if I had it 3 years it'd have to save me over £20 a week to be of benefit, I'll only be doing 5-8,000 miles a year in it so the petrol one was the obvious choice.

Dan, feel for you, what bastards they are.

4.4 X5, very smart, hope all goes well for you.

With salesmen like that I'm amazed they ever sell a car!
I've got 29 salesmen working for me and none of them behave that way and I guarantee we sell to more people, more often.
To lose a customer with cash burning a hole in his pocket is a crime. On the plus side, if that's how they behave before you buy anything you can imagine how bad their after sales care must be.
So I should really be thanking them for not allowing me to find myself in a legal battle in a few months time over something falling off that they wouldn't replace.

Went to the dealer of the black one above and ended up walking out absolutely furious.

The pressure selling technique was the worst, most aggressive I've ever experienced. I basically had to agree to buying the car and put a deposit down before he'd let me drive it.
I took the Clio as it's the car I'm replacing, the salesman asked if I wanted to part ex it, i told him depended on what they'd offer me for it. He went off to his manager who then came back with the keys at arms length and menacing look on his face and said "I don't like Renaults", and then walked past a megane back to his office. With that I walked out furious.

I then drove the hour back home and went to garage around the corner that I've bought 5 or 6 cars from over the last 10 years, sat down and had a cup of tea and did a deal on a 4.4 X5.

He's going to source me a good low milage one and buy the Clio all for the right money.

So, an X5 will be sat on the drive next weekend. Quest over.



Feel free to name and shame Dan.......I often wonder how these people make a business work......

Plus feel free to name your understanding and accommodating car dealer!

I wouldn't believe anything you see on their site Dem. They had a spotless 599 in the centre of the showroom with a sold sticker on it that was surrounded by sub £20k cars. Who would by such a car from such monkeys? Things don't add up there.
They have got a cracking website, it makes them look much more class than they actually are in reality.

Looking forward to catching up with (finally meeting) you too Dem. Only a few weeks to go now, I think it'll be a great weekend all round.
