March 2010

Used the Government Scrappage Scheme, as they extended it to V reg vehicles.

Manchester Dealership itself was okay, receptionist fantastic, after sales fantastic, the actual salesman was atrocious. (none the less he was fired by the regional manager a month after our complaint) The dealership is now closed, so I am using Browns in Preston, which all round, is fantastic.
