ORDERED my CTR there and then !!!! |
The only reason I couldn't test drive a
CTR at the time of placing the order wasn't because I was under 25, the guy didn't know what age I was when I was talking about it with him, but due to the fact that some plonker had been in several weeks before demanding a Type R and the Son of the guy who owns the company sold him the Demo one, so I had to wait 2 months until the one in the show room was registered on the 1st of September.
The dealer said he would have sold me the unregistered one in the showroom if it wasn't for the fact that A) They aint allowed to until a certain time as specified by Honda as they could be wrapped for it and B) It would leave them for another God knows how many months without a
CTR for follk to test drive and thats not good for business. Which is true as I could have said, No thanks not until I've test drove one. But I said I would put the cash down if I got to test drive another Honda, so they gave me the 2.2 to take out and then called me when the
CTR had been registered so I could take it out, thats how the demo only had 21 miles on the clock when I got my hands on it.
Oh and your 38 are you not? You may feel 21 but I doubt you look it hence the fact the dealer would have no issues in handing over the keys to you seen as your not under 25. My dealer didn't even care if I had a driving licence or not cause he said it wouldn't be him that would get into trouble with the Police it would be me lol!!! They had actually had a guy in who didn't have insurance for a car he was buying from them so they couldn't let him have it. Guy said in the 40 years of driving he had never had insurance or an MOT on a car. They asked how he got his road tax as you need this when you apply and the guy said his mate owned the Post Office that he went to and just sold him it without production of the documents. Guy was not happy that he couldn't get him car, but thats quite scary! Over 40 years without insurance and MOT's ***!
