New car ordered - Dealer wants me to pay before quarter end
Discussion
Rufus said:
I know it is now totally irrelevant seeing as decision has been made but am I not the only one who would have thought, ok, not too much bother paying early and having the courtesy car, if it makes them happy they'll be more likely to be helpful in the future? I try and stay on good terms with all my car dealers as you never know what will happen in the future that they might be able to help you out with.
You do know that dealers do actually fold don't you? It's nothing to do with being unreasonable, it's called protecting your interests. matthias73 said:

Indeed. Drive down the motorway in second gear from cold to ensure they pay for messing with you.
Why? Just Why?No f
king idea, have you?Why would you abuse some one else's property, and pass on some potential mechanical issues to a new owner?
No more swearing from me, but perhaps a constructive answer from yourself?
Oh, and I am not your buddy.
I thank you.

Oh, and I thought that due to your swearing at me, I thought we were on good terms, hence me calling you buddy.

And I thought I was argumentative.....

I wouldnt, hence me saying Im not exactly being serious. So you are trying to start an argument with me based on nothing.

Ahhh..... Bugger!!!!Oh, and I thought that due to your swearing at me, I thought we were on good terms, hence me calling you buddy.
Apologies, if I have got you wrong then, I thought you were being serious! My fault.
The complete, "Hire cars (I know it is a loan car) are the fastest cares ever" is a bit of a piss boiler, as these quickly end up back with the private owners, who possibly pick up the pieces..?
Any way..

I agree by the way, anything borrowed should be treated well.

The original poster didn't seem concerned about that being an issue, all he was after was something for himself (a discount or whatever). I have insurance (as do many others I'm sure) on my debit card anyway so would be protected if that situation arose.Rufus said:

I'm not sure (in fact I'm very unsure!) I'd want to trust these sorts of sums to the interpretation of small print on a debit card insurance policy (do you mean credit card?). Not too clever...750turbo said:

But they are the fastest! Any way..
Ok Ok - only joking!
In all seriousness, I am glad the OP is exercising caution. My buying experience from BMW was disasterous - (car sold to someone else on day we were collecting, next car complete dog etc), but the dealer principal did say when they never f
k up with a number of customers, they royally fk up with one person!I go with the notion they are a business, and unlikely to really do me a favour out of love! Cynical? Maybe.

I want an account with your bank as hey appear to be jolly decent chaps who look out for the interest of their customers at their own expense.
