Salesman

Transmission Starts...

Full A type service including MOT - £209 - Cha-Ching!
Alloy refurb - £150 - Cha-Ching!
Body work scuffs removed - £150 - Cha-Ching!
Kompressor Badge - £25 - Cha-Ching!
Bonnet strut - £64 - Cha-Ching!

My goodness, this sales business is beginning to get rather expensive.

-THIS IS A WOLFSLED UPDATE-

With all the particulars done and only the private plate to sort out, the SLK is (at last) ready for market. Where to sell though? Ideas of sending our bar manager out with a sandwich board, or The Wolf's blond, blue eyed and gymed boyfriend out, naked, except for a price covering his genitals have long been laughed to death. A combination of Auto-trader, local papers and supermarket notice boards should do the trick, but with The Figures Mans' scrappage scheme tearing large holes in the second hand car market the book price has become null and void. Bugger.
What's that?
Oh yes!
Of course!
How did the service etc go?
Well, rather well. Robin Lamb was polite, friendly and efficient. The price was good and he was able to fit in (on the planned service day) an MOT with actually no notice. Only black mark involved a sticking roof which Mr Lamb insisted needed a cheap part that involved expensive labour. WD40 would Not do the trick insisted Mr Lamb. The Wolf dismissed it and had me do it anyway.
The Wolf was right. Roof fixed minus £200 labour.
Cheers.
Anyway, for the time being the WolfSled looks and feels good. All I have to do is convince somebody else of that fact.

Transmission Ends...
