I think that’s why I get looked down at sometimes, I either dress in tracksuit bottoms and hoodie , or combat trousers , I’ve never dressed up for car dealers , even when I was working and bought a couple of cars with my own money, I walked in with comfortable clothing on, I was always met with a down the nose sort of look by some dealership’s, and others were fantastic. When I went to buy my bertone astra years back now, Hartwell’s treated me second class and I’m sure it was the shorts and t shirt (mid summer) , I went to picadors then , honestly I felt like royalty.
Trouble is I feel ready now to be treated differently, which is not how it’s supposed to be, when I went to nissan they were the very first dealer I went too, for my first motability car, I went in nervous they were going to treat me different, but he even said when I said I thought you were going to look down at me, that motability should be treated with great respect, not only are we great human beings for being resilient with our struggles we go throw, we are basically cash buyers , and whether I’m putting down nil ap or huge ap, it does not matter, we are all allowed to be treated equally.
I was so relieved, now after MG I worry about feeling second class again. But enough of that, my wife helps me a lot to try and hold my head high, it’s so difficult sometimes though.
