I have read and read and read about how other people have 'specced' up their cars and what is important to people - helping me whittle down (or up) my choices.
As I have previously mentioned, I am not particularly happy with the salesman at the dealership as he does not give me any advise and always says he is sitting on the fence - this is unhelpful when it comes to certain spec that I have not used before, for a car that I have driven for half an hour. If it was not for the fact I am in a never ending queue - I would have pulled the order and gone elsewhere. The salesman has done NOTHING to earn his commission - but I will make my opinions count once I get to actually take deliver of the car and fill in the inevitable customer satisfaction form.
I wanted to stay within the £35k boundary as there is no discount and the quoted finance packages are much higher than I have had from Mercedes.
I have had two previous coupes, so this time I want a 5 door. My spec is based on 99% of what I need and 1% on extras I don't need, I just want them
My shopping list is: OG, 5 door auto pure, fog lights, electric tailgate, folding mirrors, mats, rear camera, tech pack, spare wheel,
I asked a question this week about xenons and found to my dismay that the pretty led headliners (I had no idea what that was called before this week, so thanks forum people) only come with the xenons.
I then decided to drag my husband to another dealership to have a good look at the Pure range and see if this car is really for me.
They had a coupe Pure (I have GOT to say - how slow are those seats????:shock. I ignored everything and just sat in the car. The seats are very comfortable for me.
I sat for some time and tried to imagine owning it. Also, Trying to put myself off it.
The dealership had quite a few Evoques to look around - we spent an age in there.
I came home, went straight on the internet and 'tried' to find another 4x4 SUV that compares £ for £ & looks.
There isn't - Basically, I wasted the day!
I think my husband will add the xenons to my order on Wednesday.........
