Picked up my Mate a few years back taking him to pick up his then new car- his original car had been written off in a smash when a Jag had decided to put him up a verge and through a fence into a tree because he had not seen him. Anyway we waved to his wife and kid thinking next time we are back we will have the new car on the drive.
We both went into the Dealers with the new car sitting ready to go looking very smart, only to sit down and have the bank say “Nah” Money is not in yet and wont be in till tomorrow. This was about half five at night and he had phoned from his work to the bank to make sure it would be in at noon only to be told not to worry it would be in.
Totally denied, deflated we headed back to his home leaving the new car to the next day. It’s a crap feeling.![]()
Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!
Santander - avoid like the plague!
The replacement direct debit form that "went in the post" on Friday has not arrived yet! I phoned today and asked for another to go in the post immediately, first class today - that was before I knew it hadn't arrived yet. So it will be back on the phone to them tomorrow. If I ever get the money I will be writing a letter of complaint and be asking for some compensation for stress caused and the phone calls I had had to make.
I am very close to telling them to poke it!
Just pay cash.......saves all the hassle
You could always stick it on your tesco credit card.......think of all the clubcard points you'd get![]()

Or use the MINI financial services for standard HP. I imagine you would get approved straight away and then you sign and thats the car good to go.
Sorted!
The fantastic staff at Peter Vary have offered me a deal better than the useless bank were so picking the car up tomorrow. I cancelled the proposed loan with Santander.
Looking forward to it, will post pictures soon.
