[Stewart]

Its my Local, only had the Car serviced and a few faults fixed but not had any problem with them. I'm sure there was a few on here that have had if I remember right.

Thay have a few "works" out side. I had a good look last week waiting on my Car. and Yes that White works looks the part:smilewinkgrin:

If you need pictures of a car give us a shout.

I use Harry fairbairn in Irvine, but knowing this might take it there next time Martin.

[RyanK]

Yeh im just trying my hardest to convince him, i think hes most definately gonna check it out at the weekend.

[Bazthemod]

Hmmmmmm lol ;)

[Mon the fish]

I know the service manager well, so my Mini has always had first class treatment

[N16SHP]

That white works looks tastey!!

[Crombers]

I have used them with my TLC XL. No probs at all :yes nod:

The only time I 'walked' was when I nipped in pre MINI 50 to see if they had any promo/decals/stickers etc that they could pass on. I'm sure it was Donna I spoke to & explained that NMS were off to Silverstone blah de blah & she thought it was brill that we were doing the trip (I'm sure she was going as well, hospitality & all that :smilewinkgrin:). Anyhoo, I was offered a 'full' decal kit (which was a wee bitty too much) for £50 odd quid :confused: :frown: (for something they would have been chucking in the bin a few weeks after)
To be fair though I'm sure most dealerships were the same as in they had bugger all promo stuff for the 'party' as MINI 50 & all the other 2 year get togthers seem to be more European organised events :frown:

[RyanK]

OK so it was me who was looking at cars...the R56 JCW to be specific

Have called the garage every day this week to enquire though, each time being told they would call me back. Yet to have a call returned. Sack it...

[Fartin Martin]

Aw mate your kiddin!!:sad:

that's shocking customer service!!!!

[RyanK]

Aye, could be just the fact that they are really busy but still haha.

Never mind eh lol

[Fartin Martin]

Mate if ye want I'll get onto donna?If ur still interested?

[Stewart]

It's a nice car But I think its being used by someone as it sits at the side door with nothing on it every time I've seen it.

If you want I could pop in tomorrow as I’m parking two minutes anyway and give them your number and ask then to call. Dealers what are they like!!!!!!


You sure Ben is not calling them as well and putting them off the return call :smilewinkgrin:

[Scottie]

what about this one. someone put a link to it on TM although I think some thought a low spec but I thought it had a good spec. Is this within your budget.

You realise Ryan that I went through (what you are going through now) for a period of 6 years...... I was never able find a mini to suit bought and sold like a yo yo . No one understood perhaps you do !!???? LOL

Must say I park next to a white Works with Black Alloys and there is another few about the south side now and they do look great. Seems to be a glut of White and Black these days for sale.

Haha I should of never sold the black car tbh, miss it so much and with all the hassle i've had with GP's im going crazy ha. First one was a technical mare as everyone knows and Insurance has just went up to a ridiculous amount for some reason. god damn!

Not certain im selling though, was just snooping around and saw that for a good price. The red one is nice but no chilli pack is unfortunate, also wouldn't fancy spending >20k as theres a facelift R56 coming out in September

The JCW is used sparingly by the Mini sales manager :)

[Stewart]

So I see, every time I'm in. Tell him his cars look manky :smilewinkgrin:

[RyanK]

Got in touch with someone at the dealer, got offered a rubbish p/x though so im just gonna leave it

[Stewart]

To be fair Ryan They did the same with My Honda I got double what they said in Stirling, there loss. I really liked one of there cars and the guy just hit me with a stupid price. I was actually insulted so walked. Few weeks later bought My coop in Menzies and got the right fair price for my old car.
