Car Shopping!

Although I passed my test 4 years ago I've had no real need for a car. Living in Edinburgh where the majority of people don't even have a licence as busses are so regular and very cost effective I just insured second party on my mums car.

However now that time has came where I need my own car and with dad generously willing to help me out, the car search began. Approaching the first garage we peacefully had a look around then found the dealer to ask some questions....good start :). However, the rant begins. Minus a few garages some of the places were unbearable.

How annoying is it when you've barely set foot out the car and there smugly approaching from nowhere enquiring if you need any help...I don't know yet, I havn't even looked! Or when you tell the dealer you're just having a look so they hover and follow you about. But the worst for me was when they tell you about an amazing deal and you think its too good to be true...and it is!! You can see the sign where it says £8000 and the guy is like ignore it thats including VAT, the deal is £750 deposit and £95 for 3 years and thats it. In returning I ask is there something you forgot to tell us...does a stutter and says I dont think so....is it a lease? He says yes...but you won't be driving over 6000 miles will you? and you'll probably want to exchange it after 3 years no? Thinking you dont know me dude why would you think that. And thats just one example.

Luckily there was that moment after a long search where just when I was about to get a car for the need of it, I think I may have found 'the one'. Annnnd the dealer was totally to the point (and supported rangers! Lad) and was the one that figured out what happened with the previous deal.

Anyways, I know the dealers are trying to earn a living and that there more than likely to be full of knowledge but back off guys. If I want to know something I'll ask! I'm not buying a new pair of shoes or new makeup...if I'm going to give you money at least give me space..thats all :)
