I am going to be terribly honest in this review, and it’s in no way a reflection of the personality of the sales agent (most pleasant I have met at the dealership) a wonderful person, he is the reason I decided to buy on the day I did.
I am really stoked about my new car, however I felt I could have gotten more from Peter Vardy both in pricing, options and especially advise (being new to the UK and all).
I felt that they took advantage of my desire to get a car that they just shoved the most basic option into my hands telling me that the option I wanted was out of reach (price wise) and would not be available till later in the year (fair enough but however I could see the cars there and people were test driving it). I was told its only for display (sigh, well to be honest I am used to this type of treatment by now, just didn't expect it from Peter Vardy).
Its a few days after getting the car, and it drives brilliantly (although this is due to good manufacturing and not retailing, anyways). I already referred so many people to them and one of them got a quote for my type of car and got it for a lot CHEAPER than I got mine and considering the options the fellow would be having, and the clincher is, they didn't even have to bargain, those were asking quotes.. (maybe nationality helps or age of driving etc.) eitherways I felt good for the fellow I referred but terrible for myself because I felt that I was short-changed.
One of the biggest issues for me was that I repeatedly requested for my 7 day complimentary manufacturer drive-away insurance and didn't get one, till the day of pick up... I requested again on the day of pick-up and I was given the number of the manufacturers to contact them directly and drive away the car uninsured as long as I take it home straight and call the insurer... (luckily for me I already made arrangement for a car insurance seeing that Peter Vardy hadn't responded to my requests before then). That was the only way I could drive the car! Again it could be just me and they might be fine with everyone else
When I checked for the value of my car with the new plates I found out that the car was valued £14K lower than the price I paid for it... I expected the usual 10% value loss but £14K!!! that was just a BIG blow to me and its less than 14 days since I picked up the car...Again maybe this is an isolated event and not in anyway the character of Peter Vardy... well you learn and you grow everyday.
Also, I am supposed to have been called I think 48hrs after my pick-up to see how the car rides well its been 7days now… to be fair I have been bombarding them with my emails since I didn’t get a call so I am pretty much ok.
This is supposed to be a new car, my first brand new car but didn’t get that feel… Again maybe just me hahaha :)
Anyway I have learnt my lesson, next time I won’t be so gullible that's for sure! Would check and re-check and re0check before making any comittments.
