Looking for a Mazda MX5. Contacted a main dealer via e-mail, he responded to that mail with the usual twoddle.

Before I travelled a long distance to see a car he had I asked him a few questions and wanted straight answers.

He opens my e-mail and doesnt answer, fair enough I thought he may have sold the car.

Send quick e-mail asking if car sold, he opens e-mail and doesnt bother to answer again!!

He advertises in a NATIONAL newspaper saying friendly, polite service guaranteed!!!

He has dicked me right off by his lack of common manners - simple question, how can I 'reward' his Customer Service?? ;) You know what I mean, any ideas?? :D

You could go up there and just generally annoy him, reverse into his car on a test drive etc.

Or a personal favourite of mine would be to just wonder around and when he asks if he can help, if he asks??? just reply:

"Yes you can help, I'm trying waste an afternoon, I have no intension of buying a car but I would like to ruin your day if at all possible"

:)

UFO 12 March 2003 10:42 PM

PS I’m not a spiteful person ;)

unclebuck 12 March 2003 10:45 PM

RON 12 March 2003 10:47 PM

Pete,
hows about going to few of the more interesting type of websites out there and putting his e-maill address in the boxes, that should tick him off!!

IWatkins 12 March 2003 11:18 PM

Maybe he realised who you were and decided to just ignore you ?

;)

pslewis 12 March 2003 11:19 PM

RON

The dealer I refer to is literally on YOUR doorstep if I remember right?? Do you know a Mazda main dealer close by you??? ;)

Go round and crap in his desk drawer will you?

Any other simple ideas that could mess his e-mail system up??? Tee Hee :D

Pete

pslewis 12 March 2003 11:20 PM

merkin 13 March 2003 03:20 PM

If you find a hairdryer, oops MX5 ;) that you do buy soon, make sure theirs is still for sale, making a note of the numberplate, make a plate up the same just long enough to drive through your nearest Gatso at top speed and then bin the plate :)

Wurzel 13 March 2003 03:47 PM

BOB that is a classic idea I must rememeber that one :D:D:D

The Zohan 13 March 2003 03:54 PM

Contact the Dealer Principal or General Manager and explain the situation - if no reply forthcoming then you know it is an attitude of the dealership and avoid them - go elsewhere, I am sure there are plenty of people would love to sell you an MX5.

Sh*t service!

They look grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat with Gold wheels ;)

camk 13 March 2003 03:59 PM

Try being a bit 'out there' and phone him rather than email. It could be some numpty that is reading the email and he doesn't know....:rolleyes: Email is a crap way to talk, nealy as bad as a BBS ;)

Dunk 13 March 2003 04:07 PM

How spiteful !!!

Why don't you help him sell the car by advertising it in the freebie papers & on Loot etc. ? (Be sure to include his email address, work switchboard no & name)

Best of all - make sure that he receives an excellent response by getting the price materially wrong & keep advertising it long into the future !!

The best bit is enquiring yourself to see how frosty the reponse is !

Leslie 15 March 2003 12:32 PM

Complain bitterly with a personal letter to his boss!

tuffer 15 March 2003 01:00 PM

Go up there and make out that you are interested in a car, tell him you want full finance/warranty the works. Let him get all excited and start filling in the paperwork then get up and walk out just as he asks you to sign for it. Make sure you tell him why!!!

Stu_WRX 15 March 2003 01:54 PM

I think you have already done enough - not buying the car.

He will have lost commision, and do you really want to buy from a dealership who make it difficult to buy?? Imagine if you have a problem.


Stu...

Claudius 15 March 2003 04:29 PM


Then he will KNOW its ME who is unhappy with him!! MUCH rather he wonders a little!!
Not if you create a free email account with first name Unsatified and Last name Buyer ;)

glen4 15 March 2003 05:37 PM

Pete
are you still looking for an MX5? My mate has a year old one with next to no milage, wife's car and she's now pregnant. He wants to get rid of the Mazda. It's in Poole BTW, mail me if interested.
Oh and it's dark blue.

glen

TopBanana 15 March 2003 06:04 PM

An MX5? This is from the man who said gold wheels were gay!

Crapaud62 15 March 2003 06:27 PM

Just set up dummy hotmail accounts under false names. Contact him telling him you'll be arriving half hour after he closes with lots of cash to buy a car.
