Franchised

No

When did you buy the car?
December 2011
Did you get a good deal and why?
Very good, bought on last day of year, by my reckoning the car was £2000 below book, they also did the annual service and threw in a PS3, plus trade in was pretty decent too given how knackered it was.

Didn't want a hard riding German car, but also needed an estate. Something that wouldn't break the bank.
What was the dealer like?
Made mistakes, told me car was £14000, when it was in fact £14600, also argued about the free PS3.
