So he bought a new McLaren 650s instead.

Ive just bought a Porsche so I guess I'm going to find out. Porsche in Stoke on Trent have been recommended. Porsche in Warrington are apparently rude and don't like to give exact costs.Comment

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.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
