Rip-off main dealer Porsche servicing costs

[woohoo]

Used to work in Stoke on Trent, what a tuliphole...

Have to drive there sometimes to pick up stuff from Overclockers

Not really seen much of Stoke on Trent, it's about an hour away from me. I will probably make the effort to drive over when I need a service based on the recommendation.

[woohoo]

True.


I made the point of not living up to my car stereotype by driving up in my Alfa, instead I arrived in the wife's car.


The receptionist's first point was that I didn't have an appointment. It was a Saturday morning. There were 2 customers in the showroom and at least 5 salesmen sitting at their desks doing SFA.


Next, the pronunciation of Macan is not Macan, but MAKORWN, the idiot in me didn't spot the extra letters. (her exact words were "sorry sir, you need to pronounce it like this")
Hey, you know what, if I drop 60k on a car, I'm going to call it whatever the flip I want. Anyone with a basic understanding of English would understand what I mean, and if their marketing department wanted to make up a word, they should have thought about how people would say it.


And finally, she suggested I wait while she got a salesrunt over to show me the car. She called one on the phone and he told her to tell me to wait 10 minutes. I asked if it was OK to go look at the car while I waited, and as I walked away from her, the really busy salesman suddenly got up from his desk and walked over to her. She pointed at me, he looked at me then went back to his desk.

Jeesh, perhaps that's their plan. Make it so hard for you to buy a car that it becomes a challenge.

You should have asked to get paperwork sorted pronto for new GT3 RS.

How many Makawrns have you seen on the road?

Nuff said.

Car is cheaper and you don't have to lie saying you love it - if you drive it then you love it!

Plus when man divorces his sports car he gets some money back.

Get sports cars - not wifes!

HTH

Like you have a choice

Here's the thing, you don't have to marry a woman before you hump her.

But if you hump a car before you buy it, they might be pretty cross.

It's called a test drive...

Mechaphilia - the sexual attraction to objects and mechanical equipment

Must be a few on here who have this?

I wonder what their wives think?

I'd like to strip Amanda Holden down and give her a good service
