The local Dominoes pizza pace near work do deliveries in a small electric car, it's always intrigued me as to what it is, after reading that article I now know; a Mia.

Yeah, but wasn't that funny when you realised what it said. Remember that well I thought it was a bit crap of them to sack him for it, he should have been applauded for bringing some humour to their crimbo edition! What did he do?

Interesting. I assume the 50% includes the GMFV? I think I'm around that point now (inc GMFV), I don't have any desire to do it, just useful to know. Yes it includes the GFV/MFV/balloon payment, whatever people term it.

You can VT a car which is on a PCP or HP when you have paid back half of the total amount payable, not half the value of the car, don't get the two confused.
And no it won't affect your credit rating, however a note can be made on your file if the finance company so choose, but they rarely do.

I think Humph will confirm this but salespeople can suss out if you're a genuine punter or not very quickly. Often they don't even need to talk to you. When I go to buy a car I narrow it down to three or four options, visit the showroom, have a conversation with a salesperson and have a test drive, making an appointment to come back if for any reason the car I want is not available. We then talk figures and I buy the car. It's never struck me as a particularly difficult concept. Audi with the used car, it was sold, not really sure what more they could have done regarding that one, Ok they didn't immediately contact you back from the initial enquiry however you enquired on Sunday and you chased them up on Monday as you hadn't heard so not exactly long time scales. They probably saw the enquiry on Sunday, knew it had been sold and thought "I'll get back to that later it's sold and we have nothing else similar so no major rush" and it got forgotten about in the busyness of the day. Can't really comment on the treatment that you received at Audi, however from what i have read about Audi dealers, they all tend to be a bit crap, we are also at the end of a very important quarter for the motor trade, perhaps they were busy and it also seems that you decided for yourself that the Mercedes wasn't for you not really sure what a sales guy could have done to make any real difference. Vines; they are being refurbished, when that happens everything is always going to be a bit more difficult for everyone; yourself and the staff, everyone just has to make do with what they've got to hand and it appears the sales guy did the best he could with what he had and you were also offered to book for a test drive, again not really sure what the issue is. As for what Bob has said, yes we can usually suss people out very quickly and the longer I've done the job the easier it is to do and sometimes without even speaking to them, to the point that sometimes I'll appear busy when someone comes in so our trainee will pick them up (yes naughty of me, however I don't care!) I can spot a mystery shopper before they have even walked into the dealership. It's all in the body language, some people just scream difficult and many make it far more difficult than it actually needs to be. Not saying that you are difficult Chris, however maybe it is the way you come across, however having said that from what you have posted, I would say that the only place where you have had poor treatment is Audi Guildford and they don't have a great reputation anyway. Many people make buying a car from a dealer a chore, you only have to look at the weekly threads on PistonHeads about alleged poor dealer experiences, however when delved a bit deeper the OP's are generally making life harder for themselves in the way that they come across and what they expect and no matter what many believe, sometimes some people are just not worth dealing with and selling a car to. (Again, not lumping you into that bracket Chris)

458 Aperta Spider in yellow yesterday and the bright green Aventador SV which I have posted before, however until yesterday I hadn't realised that it was a Roadster; sunny day and roof off.

I thought the race proper started at 7:00, so I sauntered downstairs at 6:30, popped the kettle on and fired up Sky Go (thanks to a log-in borrowed from my boss) on my tablet; bollocks 22 laps in!

Yep after all the hype about Ferrari being the ones to beat, it appears that Mercedes are still the ones to beat and probably by some rather large margin too.
Bit pee'd off that the opener isn't on terrestial TV, looks like I'll be purchasing a NOW TV pass for Sunday.
