Grrr - Audi Dealers!

I agree with Mr Lahey, I think it does depend on how you look.

2 weeks ago visited the new Edinburgh Audi garage & got completely ignored by each & every sales assistant, whilst other customers / families got treated like royalty. Really hacked me off & I just wouldnt buy a car off them now.

I have been in bicycle shops that are just as bad

I wanted to test drive a used car and the garage brought it to mu house last night

Do you think the problem might lie somewhere with the name of OP?

I for one wouldn't let a Scouser "test drive" any car I wanted to be sure of seeing again......

Never had a problem getting test drives at my Audi dealer.

Neither have i.
BMW and Mercedes are a different kettle of fish altogether though.

Ah yes, I wondered when someone would bring that up. Would you have said the same sort of thing if I was black? I don't think I'd let you test drive a car because you're a !!!!!!.

If you turn up unshaven in dirty jeans, T shirt and trainers, the salesman may think you are another pennyless timewaster or a rich rockstar.

Thats not really my image and in any case the car I've got now is reasonably good so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch of the imagination to suppose I might want (and be able to afford) to buy one of their cars.

No, because statistically speaking a black guy's not as likely to pinch a car as a Scouser - much lower risk there, y'see?

QED.


Hmmm - you call me a "!!!!!!", yet you're the one who brings race into it.

Right. :think:

No, you were sugesting I was a theif because of my origins - that is a form a racism in a way - So yes, not only are you a !!!!!! you are also a bigot.


Anyway - problem solved, I phoned a different dealer who has booked me in for Saturday.
