Any - UK dealers - Collos25

I will shortly be returning to the UK to start a new job and part of my package is a considerable amount every month to purchase a new car plus a seperate payment for running costs.I have approached many (over twenty)different main agents and leasing companies asking for figures to lease or purchase a new Mercedes E class diesel and only two have replied and of these only one had definite delivery dates, specs and costs. These companies spend money advertising their services and yet when you enquire there is a deafly silence I find it quite amazing I would have thought that they would be biting my hand for business I obviously thought wrong things must be good in the UK I know in Germany I would have to fight the people off I would have been inundated with offers..

Try Greenoaks Reading. I didn't like the Mercedes I had (a B200 CDI) but the dealer was excellent.

Any - UK dealers - Collos25

Having wasted many hours I have found that the majority of dealers do not bother to answer and those that do are not willing to go the extra mile to do business.So I shall wait till I am in the UK hire a car for a few weeks and then buy or lease a car where I can do a deal face to face.
