me to m8 ...You would think they would go out of there way for a sale

 

Thats a disgrace and frankly confirms my views about a lot of MGR dealers

 

Yes I've found dealers like that - I agreed to buy a new Rover, dealer rang back later to say it wasn't available - but didn't offer to find another for me - so I got in my car - drove 30miles to the next one and bought it from there!

MGR need to sort out their dealers - bring back the family garages - not the multi site.

 

Strange, i read a tale like this on X-Power. The Guy a Zr owner wanted to test drive a ZS 180.........non- avable Sir!

Dealerships can be very funny places, i went to a Pug Dealership after a 106 GTI. Dealer tried to lift my leg a trade price (Metro GTI the Worst car i have EVERy owned) and flat said no to selling me a GTI.

Tried to Force me to buy a Rallye. But Southport Honda was the one. Went cheque book in hand to see the the CTR. All going fine when this plant pot went for me. I asked if it came with Air-con and he like blew on me!

I felt i had to leave the dealership like quick. I was on to Honda the Next day and Lookers. I get a phone call that night threatening to put my windows though! Again Lookers and i chat they advice me to call the Police.

Honda say nothing,but next day Lookers Liverpool ring, nice Scots chap Please come down for a test drive. Than offers me £500 MORE than book for the 306 GTI-6 and i get the CTR in 4 days!

Compain.............It works!
Mega.

 

Hi i'm the sales manager at Richardsons of Tiverton. We're more than happy to sell anyone a Rover or MG to the spec you want.

If you are serious about ordering a high spec Tourer call me on 01884 256851 and tell me what I would have to do to win your order. You will not get palmed off with pre-reg cars or demonstrators.

We believe that if a customer wants a particular car he/she should be able to get that car.

I will say that lead times are not short at the moment due to strong demand, but if you are willing to wait, all well and good.

I know were at opposite ends of the country but thats why car transporters were invented.

Once again if I can help please call and ask for Phil.

If I can sort some bloke from Birmingham called Childs out I can do anything! (you wouldn't believe how much agro he gives me):yikes:

 

well Phil what about an XPG ZRtd115 to N.Ireland m8 :lol:

 

Can't be that hard to get to Ireland can it? I could make a weekend of it. :beer:

Oh better not Mrs Beaker moans she doesn't see me as it is. I didn't think she was meant to like seeing me after we got married?!?

 

Now I'm in trouble, she's just looked at my screen, and threatened me with castration (trust me she can do it she's a veterinary nurse).

How do women know when your'e typing about them?

 

They have weird and untold powers, women do!

how do women know every think you are up to

 

Horners MGR in Eccles are only interested in selling pre registered or stock cars.

I enquired about a R75 Tourer CDTi in a Monogram colour but was instead pointed in the direction of a Silver R75 Saloon 1.8T

Phoenix Preston are happy to specify a vehicle to your exact requirements, why can't all dealers do this ?

 

Thanks Beaker,

not sure how that would work though as I have a 75 1.8 Conn Saloon I want to trade in.

Thanks,
Ian

 

No probs give me a shout anyway, if I can help you I will, if I can't I will tell you, simple as that.

I recently sold a brand new 75 to a guy in Covent garden ,London for the same reason. He sent me digital photo's of his part exchange and any damage. Distance ain't a problem.

Regards Beaker.

 

Now I'm in trouble, she's just looked at my screen, and threatened me with castration (trust me she can do it she's a veterinary nurse).

better not make her cross or disargee with her.... :err:

PS. cant help noticing your signature, so you got a 69' Landie to play with? cool! I know someone who is very into Land Rovers, defender in particular....

Strange, I got both my cars from Horners Eccles, even went through on the pc for everything I wanted ya know odd thing delete flag badge, passenger air bag(no not the wife, Hmm there a thought does that mean when she's inthe car I have side air bags ?? )

 

well Phil what about an XPG ZRtd115 to N.Ireland m8 :lol:

I've got a ZR Td 5dr in XPG, it's not the 115, but it's easy to tune!
Brand new sat in our compound at Ely ,Cambrigeshire. Any goo to ya? :idea:

 

Strange but true, 2 out of the 4 dealers I've been to
ask about a price for a 75 Tourer are NOT interested in taking my order.

They want to sell me one they have as a pre-reg or on their
pre-ordered list, but as soon as they learn the I want a higher
spec on which they would need to order specifically, they just say sorry, we can't help you.

Frankly I'm shocked!


Ian

I think you should take beaker up on his offer of help. As for the other dealer(s), I feel you should call someone at MG-R and let them know that they were unable/unwilling to place an order for you. MG-R "definitely" don't need dealers like these ones!
