To say i am mad would be an understatment! This week i asked my Brisbane Dealer to confirm financing arrangements for my car that lands in Australia tommrow. Well, lets just say that things did not go well from here. I was promptly advised that the offer that was made 5 months ago was valid for 14 days. Yes folks, i bought a car based on finance which the dealer knew they could not honour. In short my montly repayments increased by $98 and the fees and charges keep piling up...anotherwords in the last 72 hours the montly cost changed three times and the only explanation was that there were more fees and charges...each day!
When i finally had enought i rang my current financiar, BMW finance and they came back to me within 1 hour with a lower residual, lower montly payment and a one off fee of $395 - fully transperent and fully explained. Whats better is that i have no paper work to fill in, other than to sign the contract they fax me when i pick up the car.
BMW also advised that their rate is valid for 14 days BUT with a solution if we miss this window which costs me nothing. Spectacular service!!!

So this particular dealer will make little to no money on the car, none on the finance and let me tell you, none on the servicing costs. This from a dealer where recently 2 of my cousins have bough 2 R36s, a v6 CC and a work collegue a golf GTI. They will not be getting any more refferals from me.
Now, any ideas on how to get Patricks to release the car within 14 days?
