Car Salesmen

[sloss]

My son was looking for a car for his partner. She hates the VW Sharan she has and always loved the BMW X5s they've had before. 4 kids so they need a 7 seater.

Son phoned his pal at the local BMW dealer to be told 7 seat X5s are hen's teeth - could sell them all day etc., etc. He gets info on year/prices etc.

So they go to the Volvo Dealer to look at what they might have as his brother has an XC 60 and likes it fine.

He sees an X5 outside, colour right 3 litre diesel so he goes for a wee look and reckons it's a 7 seater!

They go in, 5:30 on a wet Saturday afternoon, 3 salesmen all sitting round one desk.

David goes over and says straight out. "You lot look well ****ed off, anyone done a deal today?"

The answer is no so David asks "who wants one then?"

They all do but they have their pecking order so.....

What's that X5 BMW outside?

Oh, it's just a 5 seat X5, pretty basic etc., etc.

David asks for the keys and goes out for a look. Salesman doesn't even go along!

Turns out it's a 7 seater with Sat Nav, Heated seats and loads of other extras not noted on the sales bumph.

David realises the Salesman/Dealership doesn't know what he's selling so after a bit of haggling he strikes a deal at about £5 less than it should be selling for, remember his mate did give him price guidelines.

Amazing how these guys don't know what they have in stock
