And they are car salesmen - utter scumbags!

Having encountered a few lately the worst seem to be the main dealers. My son wanted a particular Honda "we have one on our system" oh great. "that will be £1000 non returnable deposit please" that's on a second hand car that he's never seen. 
Went to Basingstoke yesterday for another (in stock) "we have done the figures for you sir - here we go - a pittance for part exchange, £400 gap insurance, £300 scotch guard, £110 road tax, £400 extended warranty (after they just told us how utter reliable their cars are) £500 deposit oh and of course £150 admin fee!!!!!!!!!!!!! And by the way there is absolutely no fuel in the tank ,cos we pump it all out."

If he didn't want the car I would have shoved their figures right up their exhaust pipe.
I can't believe these companies sell anything.
To top it all I had to wait for the rep to stop laughing when I told him I was a window cleaner - "ha ha ha, yes we have a guy who comes round here in an old volvo and carries all his water inside ha ha ha!"

Wheel clampers have p poor way to make a living. There must be zero pride to be found in extorting money from people on a daily basis.

No, mate.  I forgot you flogged insurance door-to-door.

It soundsa like I am rich when I say this but I can assure you I'm not. You are often better off buying a new car and looking after it for a long time.
The dealerships will offer really good deals and you are not buying somebody else's problems.

The other good thing to do is keep an eye out for what your customers are selling. One of my customers had an absolutely immaculate V reg Toyota Corolla that she traded in for £250!

That would have done my son an absolute treat.  Another customer's daughter is selling a tidy Fiat Brava for £995 but its a 1600 and the insurance is too high for my son.

No problems with doormen; they're needed (as long as they're not idiots), but as for being a clamper...

At least you can sleep easier these days eh?

Corolla would have been a nice little deal, but £995 for a Brava, they're worth scrap value at best!!
