Re: Lousy Experience at Dealer
 

I bought my Audi A4TDi Quattro from Highland Audi in Inverness two years
ago.

They are the nicest car dealer I have ever dealt with, straight, honest,
helpful and I drove away feeling really pleased. I recommend then to anyone
buying an Audi.

In contrast my previous car was a BMW bought from John Clark in Aberdeen.
Worse car dealer I have ever been to, fancy showroom but just interested in
your money and how much they can screw out of you. A most unpleasant
experience going there.

Don't let her see the ads for the new Ford 500 then. I saw one where
they are comparing it to a $64K Euro AWD sedan. A6? Gimme a break.
