I even pointed him at the sales blurb that says "nationwide fast chargers available at dealers", but he repeated the mantra, because they were paying for the electricity. I said it costs about a pound for a charge and asked if I could pay - still said no.
So presumably you walked away telling them you would not be buying a car from them after all...??
I remember pitching up at VW to look at a Touareg about 10 years ago. They had their demonstrator sat in front, none in the showroom. When eventually someone came to say hello and I asked to see a Touareg, I was told that no, I couldnt try one because "their demonstrator had just been cleaned because the dealership manager was taking it to the slopes tomorrow morning". I asked if I could just get in and see it properly etc..."no, sorry, come back next week".....Errr, no thanks, I wont come back at all...
