I had agreed a verbal price with a dealerof £19100 for a new, unregistered 2.0l Kuga Titanium in panther black with convenience and appearance pack, but they have not been returning my calls since and their customer service seems to be non existent. I then spoke to another dealer of the same company (different branch) but the best he said he could do would be £19350 because of the shipping costs as the car is in Guernsey. I asked him to match the other price but he said there is no way he could do that, even though the other dealer was part of the same company.


I am in a bit of a dilemma and he is ringing me back today to see if I want to go ahead with the deal. Although there is only £250 in it do I hold out and say i will only proceed if he matches the price of £19100 or accept their price of £19350 and ask for a couple of small extras (eg tank of fuel, 12 months tax, decent mats) to be thrown in.



I really do like the car and dont really want to lose out but then again I want to feel like I have got the best price possible.

i think it depends on how much you are saving compared to a factory order. go down to the garage personally that gave you the original price and have it out with the salesman

hi again if you ordered the car from drivethedeal in black with awd and the 2 packs you mentioned the price comes in at £18909.52. a saving on the second price of £450 ish. food for thought

did you deal or did you not

Unfortunately not. Saleman said he would like to sell me the car at £19100 but general manager said no as, apparently there weremore shipping costs bringing the car over from Guernsey than first thought. He did say he could do a deal for only £250 more at £19350, but I said no as I did not want to pay more than originally quoted. I know £19350 would still have been a good deal but i felt a bit messed around. Salesman did say he would give me a ring in the next few days if anything 'changes'.
