That lot usually has the "greeter" backing away to the sanctuary of "the back room"!!!
We ? , i'm feeling rubbish, how about you ? that normally does the trick.

2 or 3 weeks ago I rings up my local Fiat dealer, I want to arrange a test drive of a 500X. Ok, Ill get someone to call you back; they didnt.
Anyway, we rocked up to said dealer the following Saturday, we had a good wander round which is fine. When approached by the salesman we asked for a test drive. Ok he said, lets go and see what we have. Ah, theres mine, but we cant go in that, its dirty. We are not here to look at the state of the car, we want a test drive to get a feel for it. No! Tell you what, he says, I have a 500L in you might like, ok lets take a look we said. We cant he replied, its locked away with all our other cars and we cant get to them (It was a Saturday morning). When leaving, he did not bother with taking contact details at all!
We have now bought a CX3!

What is it with Fiat dealers? A 500L was on my wifes short list, she received the same couldn't care less attitude and ended up ordering a new Mini Countryman. The Mini dealer could not have been better and even nearly a year after purchase she receives regular calls from the service department just to check that everything is still OK.
