Popped in to see the Nissan salesman last night to check my saturday test drive was still on - only to be told by his colleague that he'd sold their demo car to someone else :(

Looks liek my day long test has been stopped in its tracks....... until next month when the new demo car arrives and the weather is better

do you not feel bad in any way wasting the time of salesmen test driving a car you have pretty much no intention of buying? that 'slot' could be used by someone who is seriously interested.

Or the other way to look at it is Phil goes out in a car, loves it and writes a glowing review so other enthusiasts on here will go and look at (and potentially buy) a car they wouldn't have normally been interested in.

Phil, go and drive that ST220 and let us know what you think of it

If you go through life feeling bad for little things like that you'l get no where.

Phil....Was at your old stomping ground today QEK at Heyford...the place was full of them Z`s

Plenty of new Vrs`s as well as RS4`s:cool:

Phil

I remember seeing Z's up at Heyford before they were released here - I also spotted the Nismo special up there before it was on the TV or in the mags (gave Briskoda an exclusive at the time)

I dont feel quilty at all, I wouldnt do it if the salesman was with me, but as he'll be in the showroom selling Micras I'm happy, he's happy, everyone is happy, except smerko Anyway, how do you know I have no intention of buying it? I'm looking to change the Octavia for something more fun, I have no idea what I want though so I'm testing alternatives.

anyways... i see that 350z has just recieved a facelift in this weeks auto express? +20bhp, 18's, bi-xenon headlamps and led tail-lights for 2006!

Yep, but its not available to order yet. However, because of the facelift you can get some deals on the current shape (free tracker etc.) at the moment

just hope the sales guy doesn't spend too much time looking after you, either that or he does his job and you end up £25K lighter for your troubles!!!

I had the roadster for the whole afternoon. Most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Drove my normal commute route on the way back to the dealer - but turned round before I got there to drive the route again!

Phenominal grip, amazing soundtrack, great seats, cheaper insurance than an S2000 (£800 rather than £1300) and the wind in your hair - cant beat it.
