Well they say bad things happen in 3's! No3 - the touchless carwash story!

Hi @Little Lady Katie
Glad Felix is in BMW for you bet you can't wait to get your car back
How long have you got to wait for Felix
Can't get your attachment up keep getting error

 

[pgunter]

@Little Lady Katie Just remember in the AYGO called agro.. you must leave a lot more time for pulling out from junctions.

 

[Little Lady Katie]

Hehe @pgunter ! I am finding that out the hard way it also rattles when you get to 60 like it's going to disintegrate!

 

[pgunter]

@Little Lady Katie That is to remind you that it is a green car and you must not go above the 60mph .. I bet the dash will glow if you hit 70mph too..

 

[Shelly]

Just seen your Hire car
It's a bit like marmite
You either luv it or hate it

 

[pgunter]

Its worse than that @Shelly its a TOY ota...

 

[Little Lady Katie]

Hi @Shelly no i certainly can't wait to get him back!!
I think ive got to put up with the Toyota Aygo until Wednesday so not too long thankfully!

It's such a Bizzare car - it's like it can't decide what it wants to be! It's got a speedo dial like in a mini and this weird front styling and it's just utterly bonkers! Poor little hodge podge of a car!

 

[Little Lady Katie]

I was really looking forward to a smart little 1 series too... Could have cried when I was walked out to that! Haha

 

[Shelly]

Well look at it this way .........
It's not for keeps and at least you will know not to buy one
It's getting you from A - B
Your getting Felix back lovely and shiny

 

[Shelly]

Its worse than that @Shelly its a TOY ota...

Whoops didn't realise that
But at least it's doing the job

Is it just me...............or..........does it seem a little odd that a dealer (of any manufacturers cars) should use another manufacturer for it's loan cars.

I don't think I can ever recall hearing that happening before, it definitely hasn't happened to me. I'm sure you lot will tell me it's happened to everyone of you now!!

 

[pgunter]

Some body shops hire in the cheapest cars they can @Chipper3 I have had a MG Rover 25.. when my Audi went in.. A shed with a wheel on each corner springs to mind thinking back. Mind you when the Audi goes in for a service (Company Car) I do get a decent loaner for the day.

 

[Gail]

Sure....I drove a Jag for a while......when it went in for a service at the dealer I always got a Ford......and that was after Ford had divested JLR.

Body shops I can understand. Dealers in my experience anyway normally supplier a car from their supplier/s. The BMW - Toyota relationship is not one I'm aware of.

Maybe this wasn't at a dealership.

 

[Shelly]

Never happened to us
As luckily we're never been put into that situation
Hope I don't talk anything up

 

[Little Lady Katie]

Same @pgunter when my company audi went in for a service I always got an a3 (granted a basic model, but an a3 nonetheless!)

Apparently all their courtesy cars were out... So they had to hire this little 'beauty' for me!

 

[Aceman]

Bmw had run out of the little 1 series cars they loan out as courtesy cars

...so I got given this bad-ass from Enterprise!

Katie did mention above the car came from Enterprise so the dealer has obviously contracted out the loan car.

 

[Little Lady Katie]

@pgunter this was my little fleet! I don't have my Audi anymore though now that I'm back to poor student hood

[Little Lady Katie]

The dealership and Bodyshop here in york are all together on the same little forecourt. They said they'd just loaned them all out due to a busy week, so I got stuck with Enterprise's offering

The poor little Aygo is such a confused car. It doesn't seem to have made it's mind up what it is yet! It's got elements of every car all rolled into one in it... It's quite horrid!

 

[Aceman]

Toyota have got an identity crisis going on at the moment I don't think even they know what cars they produce. I think they are trying to be bold but it's not working for me either.
