You do know what dealers traditionally do to new cars not brought from them, don’t you?

There’s a thread on a Merc forum I follow where the guy has fallen out big time with MB UK. His solution to the problem? He’s ordered a new Merc!

We bought a Mini convertible, the Carwow offer was received quickly & was competitive. But when I rang the dealer there was the usual initial apathy.
I dislike the service reception woman at our nearest Mini place intensely so I decided to punish her by persisting with the Carwow lead and not asking local dealer to price match.
Everyone lived happily ever after, SWMBO has new car, we PX’d her old one at a good price, it was a sought after colour & spec so dealer had a customer for it, so they were both happy too.

So no real preference or advice on Carwow, just a rant about your local Mini dealer?
Thanks for coming.

I've never leased before, and not bought a new car in years but I fancy an Abarth 595 Competitzione. I've found a deal on carwow I like, £203 per month for 3 years, with 3 months to pay upfront.

None of the offers listed on carwow are local, all cars are over 200 miles away. I know they deliver, but has anyone had any joy from taking a carwow quote into their local (in this case Arnold Clark) dealer and got them to price match the carwow quote for a lease?

Some dealers can and will price match, some can get close, you have nothing to lose in trying.
