| Anywho, I didnt say all - I was referring to the ones at Mini. Admittedly, some are better that others although I tend to find the younger 'executives' better to deal with - Sales staff with any kind of managerial position, in my experience (judgement on 3 separate Mini dealers I have had the pleaseure of dealing with) are most definitely prat-like.
In fact, the last mini I purchased. (2006 R53) I bought from a local Volvo dealer where I was, believe it or not, treated like a human being by the salesman and they gave me over £1000 of the already keenly priced ticked price!!
Looking at the Mini Cherished website - the closest car to the spec I bought was over £2k more - My local Mini dealer was prepared to give me £250 off the price of just one R53 that they were having trouble selling. In their eyes I was geting the deal of the century! |
