4 hours by yourself? You lucky git,..I’ve figured out why it was only 5 minutes, it was a brand new car off the show room floor. I contacted another dealership ( they have a used one in) I was told they’re reached their quota for JCW and I have to find another dealer,I asked if I could test drive the JCW they have and said no.I contacted another dealership who said they would call me right away but I haven’t had a call back yet.
I just explained to the girl I was interested but was coming from a much bigger car and had all these reservations , she listened and suggested I come back in a couple of days and take her managers car which was a brand new JCW, they stuck me on their insurance and stuck half a tank of juice in it for me – honestly can’t fault the process
when I collected it she did say they had become very popular once the word got out and they had a 6 month wait ( I was just over 3 )
I know it’s a pain mate , but if you really want one and are used to a small car I’d just travel to any dealerships that sell mini rather than calling them ( if you’re able )
Cos I’ve never known a dealer to be quick at calling back…. If at all lol
good luck man
