Looks like my great idea for getting a Fiat 500 is stuffed.  The garage didn't bother to phone back either with a price for my car or to say they had sold the fiat to someone else but I presume that they have.

If that is the service we get before we even buy the car then I think they can forget it.   Pity, but I was beginning to get concerned with what people said about the after sales "service".   I think I will go somewhere they want our business.
