[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

After watching this crap about a bunch of Essex wide-boys trying to sell 'motors' to 'punters'....  I'm so glad I buy my cars privately.

All their cars come from the auctions anyway. You might as well buy it there yourself, and save a few grand in the process.

[pscocoa]

Rip off Britain on one hand selling auction cars to those who deserve to get ripped off buying cars they cannot afford - bound to end in tears

Just watched it. That "accent" really grates on my nerves.
I'd rather buy a car from Arfur.

I loved it when the sales manager (who we'll call Gary) was bitching that everyone thinks they have a HUGE mark up on every car when in reality it's more like £300 then in the next scene their reducing a Peugeot 106 to the tune of a grand before the real haggling begins.

But I'm sorry, I'm in a minority because I really enjoyed it!

I would like to think that the sales are all "set up" for our entertainment in this show - it would be commercial suicide for these guys to be displayed like this if it was all for real.

On the subject of dealerships I recently went with a friend to look at a Jaguar XF at a local Jag dealer and after a test drive my friend decided he liked the car and started the negotiation process, the salesman told us that the screen price was the only price for the car and that he would not take any money off at all, not a pound as it was company policy not to haggle, we got up and even as we walked out thought this was just a sales tactic but he didn't try and stop us, I was amazed.  My friend bought another XF from another dealer after getting £900 off the screen price.
