Angry Rude Car Dealers

As you may be aware i'm looking for a Subaru.
Well i have spoken to quite a few private and trade, with different levels of helpfulness, but the one today takes the crown!

Phoned up regarding this car http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2045519.htm
as you can see there is alot of important info missing. So i ask about tax and mot, guy buggers off for a few min and comes back saying its got neither! So i ask when they expired and the response was, 'i donno', so not the end of the world, next tyre condition, 'I donno', and he wasnt willing to go and look. So onto service history! And he has info, last serviced 09/09 so I ask what year and in the most condersending tone he goes well last year of course. So i explaine they should be serviced at least every year, he was like oh well. So i asked has it had a belt change, and you guessed it 'I donno!' so i asked if he had any paperwork and he said unless it's in the car then no!

By this time i've gone off the car and the dealer hawever nice it is, so i say thanks but i wouldn't be interested. He says well don't bother then and hangs up.

What a **** end. These people are trying to sell cars but don't seem to care.
I see so many adverts with 2 lines of info. Why can't people just write all the info its not hard!

This one is more on the money as it's actually a facelift MY05 on a 54plate. Much better

There is one good one down south, but I think the mileage is probably putting you off.

what's worse than that is people who are looking to sell their cars and put a mobile number on the advert and then don't turn their mobile's on so you just get the ask their voicemail about the car
