Chris I appreciate the pressure on the day but why accept the car? At this point you’d been lied to, let down strung along & now the salesman is patting himself on the back for getting rid of that old car out the back. He’s now likely to do it again & again. Easy for me to carp from the cheap seats I know & I’m not saying its your fault at all, we do need to stand up to these scumbags who prey on vulnerable customers.
Yes there’s an endemic problem with car sales people but we’ll only get change if we force it.
