    Hi 99er. In relation to your question, it is relatively common to have a garage write out to you like that. Agnew Audi in Belfast write to me on a regular basis, remind me when my car is due a service, tell me about the launch of new models, try to sell me an Audi credit card, which I can't take as I don't live in the UK.

    They make their money back several times over by having you return to them for service and to buy other cars off them.

    In the past, when I bought a second hand car, I received a letter from the salesman saying he had moved to a different garage, different marque and that he'd give me a good trade in on a replacement.

    Do you ask everyone you buy cars off who they voted for?

    Liffey Valley Renault regularly write to me about new cars (I bought a new clio there in 2000). Jokes on them though, cos I'm poor now. :D

    Some people just tell you, you don't have to ask, eg 99er.

    I never asked you but yet I know you're a Fianna Fail supporter.

    Yes, but in a fickle way (in fairness I've never hidden my leanings on here) . ie if FG had been in power the last 20 years I'd most likely have voted for them, outside of SF I could probably go any way (even though I didnt voted last time round, was in Athens for the CL final :))

    Point is we know and we never asked.

    I come from a small town, and I know the politicial persuasion of every business person in it, and I never asked any of them. Some are like 99er and publicly parade it.

    ;) Well it's not for me to decide. Pity the thread backfired on the OP.

    I'm slightly biased on this, but I've never heard of the same thing from another garage.

    Bought a 01 Astra about 6 weeks ago there and I got a letter yesterday with a proper keyring (the type with the shopping trolley coin) and a demisting cloth with all contact details including breakdown assistance.

    On top of this, if I recommend them to anyone who goes on to buy a car on my recommendation, they'll send me a service voucher...class eh

    Is this normal??


    I couldn't remember what this thread was about, but fortunately it's still in the Google cache. The above are ninety9er's words. I thought only mods could close threads

    And deleted the first post. I thought that altering the flow of a thread by deleting posts was against the rules.

    I always look at a thread with the first post 'deleted'. Kind of backfires on the OP imo.

    Not your ornery onager

    The same garrage knowingly sold my father a crashed car a few years ago. They denied it, after it was noticed, the previous owner was produced, who pointed out to them that not only did they know about it, they were the ones that repaired it. Cue new car.

    So how would you rate them ;) Did your uncle get a free keyring demisting cloth LOL
