No, this is not Breaking News with an answer to all the AFL problems! Have you seen the amount of 'views' on them?
No, this is Breaking News to confirm thatInow have an official'pass' to go and sit in the waiting room having ordered my Vauxhall Mokka 1.7Cdtiin Summit White.
Following a trawl of some dealerships at the weekend I found myself sat in one on Sunday afternoonwhen my phonerang. It was the dealer I had visited earlier in the week who, finding out where I was, urged me not to do anything rashuntil she had had a chance to have (yet another) word with her manager to see if they could better that ridiculous quote they had givenme earlierthat week. Sothere I was, with one dealer on the phone trying to outbid thedealer I wassat in front of!
Decided the 'phone' dealer had had enough opportunitiesduring the week beforeto make me asensibleoffer and soopted to do a deal with the one I was sat in front of - besides which, their offer was a lot better

. And, importantly,the whole shopping experience was 10 times better with no pressure, figures in front of me clear and conciseand a relaxed comfortable encounter (must besomething they put in the coffee).
They've been totally upfront with details - told me what I had already read on here that delivery will be months away; even knew about AFL issues (didn't tell me the answer to the problem before you ask!) and, they've even ordered some SE badges as they've noticed thatsome have been arriving with badges missing on one side

Been told that it's almost certainly going to be late July/August at earliest and asked me if I wanted them to keep it for registration on a '63' plate if it's to be as late as this - I'malright with that idea today - come July/AugustI might have a different view!
Psyching myself up for the long wait, and I'm stillok 3 days in!
