Sales Assistance - Mansfield - Avoid !!!!
Thought I would blog about this as I am (or was) severely annoyed at these guys. A few days ago I took a car into them to get valued with the hope that they would buy it. A guy came and had a good look around the car and within ten minutes sent me into see the owner.
He had a brief chat with me and soon told me that he would be looking at buying the car for £5500 if not a little more (baring in mind that the car if sold privately would be sold for at least £6995). Anyway, I was happy with the price and said that I would come back with the owner of the car in a few days.
We called them up just to confirm all this and was told to come down before 1700 a day later. So, the car was given a quick clean and taken down to Sales Assistance (What a waste of time). Upon arrival, we went straight into the manager office, the keys were given to one of the guys who took it out for a test drive. Whilst the guy was out, the manager started to tell me how he now wants to give no more than £4500 for the car and cannot remember giving me a price of £5500 plus. Now, I know for sure that the car is worth alot more than that and would be put on the forecourt for at LEAST £6995. He went on to tell us all the normal car salesman bullshit about how the car is not that desireable, blah blah blah….
Anyway, I decided to take a walk back outside to get the keys ready to leave. What did I walk outside to find? Two guys stood with the bonnet up revving the tits off the car, baring in mind that the car had not been running long, so was more or less cold, and could have caused some damage to the engine. I was in shock.
I asked the manager if they always do that to which he just turned his back and kinda shrugged and totally ignored the question. Shortly after that we took the keys and left, pretty pissed off.
So, the story goes, if you are going to sell a car, don’t go to Sales Assistance, in fact, I wouldnt buy a car from there after how we got treat.
