SWMBO.....We all have one but can't live without!!!
As for Autochoice, they didn't inspire confidence and wasn't the best car buying experience I've ever had. I had done my research and seen some not too good reviews so was on my guard.
Fortunately, I had owned an X5 before so I knew what I wanted and what to look out for.
They were a bit weird about test drives and only wanted me to go around the block, so I did for about 45 minutes until the sales boy got bored and took me on a longer route!
Since buying her I have had her serviced (not like that!) and checked out at my local independent (who is excellent) and he tells me she is all good with no issues. It was a bit of a relief.
Autochoice, or at least the sales guy I spoke to wasn't really up to speed on the car. Some of the info given wasn't really accurate, however turned out better. For example, I asked if it had the phone fit, he tried to pair his iPhone, it wouldn't so he said no. When I read up on it cos it was on the menu and did it properly, my phone paired straight away. One up to me!
Didn't buy their warranty, I have been looking at Warrantywise if I do get one. A friend has one on his Cayenne, he has made a couple of claims with HMO problems.
I actually travelled 160 miles to Autochoice as I couldn't find a car as nice closer.
I've just realised how much I've written. I do go on a bit sometimes.
