It's all about the Finance Baby!







Fiesta Zetec One day you will be mine!!!



It’s on got up early cleared car which took way longer than it should.  I took so many things out of the boot of the car, it’s amazing it was able to pull away.  Weather was good so we washed car.  I only used 1 bucket of soapy water (warm).  I’ve seen those guys at the Supermarket car park wash cars with almost no water.  I’ve experienced one of these washes, it seemed ok at the time but the windscreen was gritty. fiver I could do it myself just give me an hour or two that’s how long it took.  It was fun, although my feet were drenched, my daughter enjoyed helping and playing her favourite tracks on the cdl


Now it is all clean time to get it exchanged.  Don’t judge me.  I think the Car Karma God;s allow for part exchange.  /we drove for about three mile and arrived at Motorpoint,  most of the cars were 1 -2 years old lots chevelots which apparently are made in United Kingdom by Fords, well this is what the sales guy was telling us.  we were allowed to walk around for about 40 minutes.  I was hoping to get a car afterall I had spent two hours washing and T-cutting my car, which by the way is the must have item for your car.


Motorpoint has another much larger branch in Peterborough almost 90 miles away from us, so this local one was much more convenient.  They have many cars with very low mileage, there was some with mileage below 100 miles.  I believe the prices were competitive just more than I intended or budgeted for.  We walked around for ages until it started to hail stone? which was very random as we have been promised 20 celsius tomorrow.  We walked into the showroom or were we lead, it was so subtle not sure.  IT was larger than I thought it would be looked like the inside of IKEA or somewhere cool and trendy like that ,  We  walked in and the smell of coffee and something baking in the oven, bread hmm nice touch.  These are the smells that Estate Agents advice to use when you know a viewer a potential buyer is arriving.  

We sat down with the very friendly very young looking salesman.  I had to remind myself we were coming to buy a car and although I felt as if I knew this person he in fact was the enemy.  We insulted him by asking for cars older than 3 years old, i know a low blow.  He amused us by pretending to interrogate his database. He was on to us and we were onto him.  We were cash buyers, I remember when that meant use to mean something.  It was if he said ‘your cash is no good here’  I began dealing with us as if we had purchased the car and have returned to claim a free service or something.  That's when I noticed the black horse logo.  This wasn’t a Car Showroom they weren’t here to sell us a car they were here  to sell us FINANCE. !!!!!
