I would just like to post a great big thank you to both James and Spencer from Charles Hurst Park Royal for the help and advice on the purchase of my new car.

To say i live in Leeds, and they are a good 190miles away the service I received was top notch

From the day I saw the car, (when James posted a picture a picture of it) he had a email from me enquiring on when it was available within 10 minutes of me seeing it. James answered it later that day giving me all the details.

The deal was done very easily of the phone, the cars conditions where gone through on the phone, and emails confirming this where received.

A deposit was paid a few days later, securing the deal, with trade in value set for the swap over, which was the same as a local dealer had given me, so i knew what was been offered was good even though the swap wasn't happening straight away.

James kept me up to date with the cars usage and mileage and a simple CHAPS payment was sent for the balance a couple of days prior to the big day.

When I arrived at CHPR the car was all prepared and sat there in a coned off area just as i entered the car park, which put a huge grin on my face.

The dealership it self is very clean and to be honest a little posher than other dealerships I have been in but i was offered a seat and a cup of tea, thats proper tea in a proper cup and saucer, none of that machine dispensed stuff in cardboard cups

Since it was James' day off, I was introduced to Spencer in person who handle all the paperwork, and the handover and was professional at all times, even under a difficult situation where another of his customers had come in expectantly wanting to test drive a RRS with him.

Whilst there it was also nice of the other staff who deal with forum members to pop over introduce themselves to put a face to a name.

So, we finished the handover, with Spencer showing me a few things that have changed and the car, or are different with it been a HSE this time round.

A quick program of the satnav and i was on my way after a couple of hours or so at the dealership for a nice drive home in the new motor. Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

did they put a plastic cover on the seat before allowing you to sit and drink your tea? At work

Ahhh how civilised, little pinky at a 90" angle, the southern way.

Nice looking F2 by the way - Never really fancied white, but I have to say that I am being temped away from the dark side  FL2 TD4 XS Santorini

Lucky you.

I emailed my local dealer over two weeks ago, still waiting for a reply!

Only a simple question but........

NPinks,

Many thanks for your comments and glad you enjoyed the 'CHPR' surroundings. I'm sure we'll meet at an even soon, and it would be nice to see the car again.

Hope you had a good weekend and that it towed nicely? Any pics would be grately received (possibly not by CG ) of the cavalcade.

No problems at all towing, pulled away easy on the hill i live on with the caravan half full for the weekend.

I have to admit it was a doddle in the traffic jam on the A1, creeping forward in traffic was so easy, just got to get used to the left leg been of no use as it keeps wanting to put the clutch down when approaching roundabouts and junctions

Not any really good photos as i forgot the camera, so a couple of iPhone photos to go on with for the time been.




and yes that is my son on the floor infront of the caravan, been a true proffessional I got the picture before picking him up

Elliot would like to thank you for the DVD screen too, he likes them lots and lots and lots  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Poor Elliott! Glad he likes the new car too. Looks good in the pics, and not a bad colour match either!

Aux will be on it's way, next couple of days

James

I just wish he wouldn't shout when he has the earphones on

The FL2 is a little off white compared to the caravan, but I had a few people have a good look whilst driving past and a couple of people say it was a nice colour to have and suited the car whilst at the caravan site too  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
