Right guy's currently have two cars and a motorbike.
Thought i'd down size to just one car and my bike as i do around about 100 miles commute and enjoy riding more than driving.
So have looked at loads of cars lately, anyway found myself in a ford garage today looking at a 55 reg fiesta zetec s tdci for £10300 only to be approached by a sales muppet explained the situation that i can't really justify having two toy's and am considering dowm grading to said fiesta, he offers to get me a price on my clio which he says is in immaculate condition, so i accept
Oh how i laughed myself out of the showroom when he came back with an offer of £7500 for mine and some spiel about how "thats a good price cos he's had bids as low as £7000"
"So how does that sound?"
Sorrymate it really sounds as though a should drag you across your desk and slap some sense into you and your manager who says it's to be expected to make such a severe loss on a vehicle of that age!!!
OK then your £12000 fiesta has lost £170 in 18 months
Yet my mighty clio has gone from a list price of £15500 to £7500 in the same period. Less than half price!
Oh well think al just continue to have two cars and a bike.
Thanks for the whinge chaps.
