Bike Valuations

[Nok12rs]

Thanks Kwiki, that's good to know.   

Can anybody give a recommendation/reference for a SW London dealer please?

[2kwacks]

I dont know what the crack is these days with sales and sales staff but I called Robinsons first thing this morning, they thought the bike had been sold but couldnt confirm that, they said they'd have to call me back, I said I'd hold but apparently no they'd call me back. They haven't done yet. Am I going about buying a new bike the wrong way or something, have tactics changed in the last couple of years?

I always thought you enquired, you were provided with info, you made a decision, you bought, (or not). Its like these dealers aren't arsed if they sell or not.

positive news is now required Mr wolf I'm sat stood here   ing... with only one decent fingernail left.. Lol.. the suspense is killing me! at this point, I would settle just for the colour your going to choose

[O.C.]

not ringing a customer back is both ignorant and very bad practice

I had no problem when I dealt with MCO in fact they were keen to deal

I'm still waiting (6months now) for Allan Jeffries BMW to ring me back, but they are a bit late as I changed my bike for a stunning GTR 6 months ago

Could we not be kind to these people in question and give them the benefit of doubt that maybe a message has not been passed on, or a misplaced phone number maybe?. Like Roger I bought mine off MCO (Wigan Kawasaki) and found them fantastic people to deal with.

fair comment "me thinks" if it was me, I would give them another call because that greenie coloured one looks dam nice for a greenie coloured one it's most likely the message as not been passed on to the relevant person, or the number as been misplaced. it's very unlikely a dealer will not return a phone call for a potential sale even if the bike in question as been sold, they would simple try to sell you another bike.

Couldn't agree more, for instance MCO are part of a massive group of dealers, and looking on their collective sites they have plenty of low/or no mileage GTRs up for grabs, as you say I think I would be giving them a bell back.

[Lonewolf]

Then I shall call them back tomorrow. I want a GTR!!

Agreed....BUT if you say "I'll ring you back in 10 minutes" then that's what you should do...even if its only update on progress, don't say it if you don't mean it...but hey, that's just my view. 

Isn't Robinsons in Rochdale also part of the MCO Group ?

Any update? I don't think my heart can stand the suspense for much longer

[Lonewolf]

Well I called Robinsons back this morning........and they said they would call me back. Total waste of space, 

I wont be calling them again.

There is an 11 plate magnesium one in Dorset I am interested in, its just a long way to go. I might ask Rusty to buy it for me and then bring it up to the Cotswolds meet in June for me and I'll buy him lunch or something. 

[Kwikasfuki]

The bike isn't showing on MCN any more. I wonder if its been sold?

There's also these for sale:

Mr Wolf .. I'll go and buy it for you and have it delivered by 9 beautiful virgins dressed only in the finest Egyptian Cotton .. if you like !
Looks like it's gone though !

[Rusty]

Ps ... I rate my local K dealer very well as I have said so here before  ...  Mogster ... I too have had visits to BMW dealers and like it or not, with the exception of one, I have found them to be exactly as you describe ... very good indeed.
Mr Nok .. no sorry I don't know any SW London dealers..

[100milesaway]

Agreed....BUT if you say "I'll ring you back in 10 minutes" then that's what you should do...even if its only update on progress, don't say it if you don't mean it...but hey, that's just my view.

Yes Roger MCO are part of the group including Robinsons.
