Buying Advice - Jazz Advance

It’s shameful because that was our agreement

The dealer was supposed to email me the same day with a price

If they can’t be bothered with a sale of a brand new car what are they going to be like with after sales

I phoned twice to remind them that I was still waiting for their email….what more could I have done

...I didn't see the post about you phoning and waiting, although some dealers respond better to those sat in front of them as they would assume you are more serious than someone just gathering 'best prices' via email.

At the time I was very interested and serious, even got a trade in valuation, so I don’t think it could be misconstrued as someone “gathering best prices”

The reason for asking for the price via email is so that I had something in writing from them

Just another little update:

The dealer still hasn’t responded to me so I’m guessing they are not going to now

Shameful really

...Why is it shameful? 

Maybe you didn't come across as a genuine purchaser? and they don't want to waste their time.
I would make it clear I was interested to initiate further response from a dealer.
The last thing I would want is to be pestered by them.

If I wanted a car that I'd test driven then I would be going back to them, not waiting for a phone call!

So what part of the country is this dealer in?

I won’t mention who the dealer is

I won’t mention who the dealer is…..however I have before in this thread

You just don't like repeating yourself...

From my experience car salesmen can often  change quite often in a dealership but aftersales and servicing  staff can be much more permanent. That has certainly been my experience with the dealership that Ninanina has already mentioned and as I have said before sometime earlier in a thread they have given me excellent support over many years.

Years ago the car life expectancy was 10 years, after that rust got it

I'm amazed that 8G 2006 Civics are still selling and from the pictures are still in very good condition and they are 18 years old

We have a 2003 Toyota Yaris D4D which we bought in 2005 and is still going strong. (I do treat the underneath  every 2-3 years to prevent rust)
Our 2012 Honda Jazz CVT ditto. (Very reliable: only fault corroded heat shield)

I exchanged my gray Jazz Executive from 2021 with 52,000 km for a red Jazz Advance demo model of 9 months old with 13,000 km.
The depreciation of the Executive was 4000 euros in 3 years.
I think the Jazz is a fantastic car that meets my needs and the fact that I now have a 3-year factory warranty again also gives me peace of mind.
What struck me in the Advance was that the Lane Keeping Assist System was better adjusted, the car was less searching than in the Executive.
Road Departure Mitigation was also less intense than in the Executive. Disabling this and the parking sensors must now be done in the menu.
