Brew 5,408 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 My Merc came with a £450 bill for a 'sports' steeing wheel. "I didn't order that", "that's how it came from the factory", "is my face bothered? change it, cancel the car or knock it off the price". They took it off the bill. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 I would never go near a main dealer. Last year I bought a new top of the range Renault Trafic Sport Nav, todays price for the lower version Trafic Sport is £23k plus vat, I paid £18,400 all in. Best of it was I bought it from a company in South Wales who I have dealt with before, bugger me come the day of delivery it came Bristol Street Motors on Hayden Road. Someone is making an awful lot of money..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 The 1966 world cup victory has lasted the media and England fans for 52yrs and counting - thank the Gods they didn't win this one; I don't think I could stand another 50 yrs of celebrations! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
