Greetings everyone!

I have been Mondeo man for the last 7 years! Was planning an upgrade to Mondeo Estate, and had it not been for a salesman smirking at me when I asked him to justify his part exchange offer I would still be Mondeo man! (It's a good car! NO really!!)

No-one smirks at me if they want £12000 of my hard-earned!

So I went a mile down the road to the Volkswagen dealership, and into a different world! I was called sir, not mate! I was offered a choice of hot and cold drinks, and the salesman knew more about the car than me! (You think that's easy??? Read "what car", and and go down to your average Ford dealership. You'll know more about their range than the entire sales team!)

I was taken on an hour long test drive in a brand new Passat estate, whilst the sales rep gave me chapter and verse, warts and all! (Very refreshing!)


When we were back at the dealership, he helped me pick out the car I wanted (A one yr old 140 diesel sport) and didn't sulk that it wasn't a new one!

Took my haggling on part exchange in good humour, and we shook hands on the deal.

I picked it up this afternoon!!!

I'm a very happy bunny
