Re: Pushy Salesmen
I must take issue with Mighty Atom, about his opinion about the first garage I went too. Being given a brochure and price list was very helpful, as I at least knew the price of the car I was interested in, also I knew I could ask any questions I wanted too, and I wasn't given avasive answers. Also why shouldn't a customer talk about what their needs are to every Tom Dick and Harry, if you are buying abrand new car, you need to compare as many models as possible just so you are 100% sure the car you buy ticks all the boxes of your requirements.
As a woman, I get annoyed, when I am purchasing anything for myself, and the salesman ignores me and talks to my husband, as though I don't exsist. Why do sales men think women are incapable of making any financial decision.
I would never entertain buying a car from Horners, because of the rude and very confrontational attitude of a salesman I was unfortunate enough to encounter 2 years ago.
I would not give me a price for my own car, but wanted me to commit to buying a car from them. As I didn't know what the cash difference was between the trade in price of my old car and the purchase price of the new car, I obviously refused to buy the new car,without the trade in value. He was very rude when I wouldn't entertain their finance scheme, and even refused to tell me what the APR was on that scheme. He did give me some finance figures (based on an amount of £4000 - which was the first figure I had thought of), and then when I had done the maths in my head I gave him an APR - which was very high. I got the distinct impression there was a great deal more money to be made for Horners in my taking their finance, rather than any money they made actaully selling the car.
