You haven't been into the same place as me in Huddersfield have you?!
I am absolutely invisible when I go into the showroom, but I put that down to the fact no-one was with me. I didn't realise it happens with a couple.
I wanted a price for my car and was asked the usual details including landline, mobile and email. I decided to decline giving my email address, when the guy said I had to give it. I still refused. He argued, and I then said, well I haven't got an email.He then said he would have to see the Manager......and he did! I have gone on to buy a car from the dealership but I refused to have any dealings with the same salesman. I would have liked to have told them what to do with the car but I have now got a new car and I like it.
You have my sympathy and it will get worse before better. You have been warned.JLe

Hi Ice

I would prefer to laugh rather than cry.

I'm laughing all the way to the bank because I'm keeping my money and he won't see a penny of it.

It certainly seems like it SRS.

Needless to say I won't buy a car from him.

Ever since I have had a car, it has always been agreed between myself and OH that it is mine and mine alone. I chose it, buy it, tax and insure it etc (although he does the maintenance lol).

Today we popped into a car dealers and I asked the salesman if he could give me some figures as I was thinking of changing my car.

So, why oh why did he spend the whole time talking to OH about the finance deal, the type of car, size engine etc? I had already told him it was my choice and I would be paying for it and OH kept in the background the whole time.

Whinge over.
