Just phoned my local Nissan dealer for a price on a motor for my front windscreen washers. Why the hell can't they just look in a book or on a computer and say it costs X amount? Instead I get this:
Him: "what is your registration number",
Me: N11 blah blah blah,
Him: "oh is that a private reg?"
Me: "yes"
Him: "what was the number before?"
Me: "no idea I imported my car "
Him: "Oh it's an import? do you have your V5 handy then"
Me: "No i'm at work"
Him: "I can't give you a price without your chassis number."
Me: "why? surely an item costs the same whatever my reg or chassis number is?"
Him: "can't do it on computer without chassis number".
Me: "can you use a random reg from another 350z?"
Him: "I don't have one".
Me: "Ok I will get you one and call you back."
Him: "Ok".
FFS!!!!
I already got a price off Alex but as this is a dealer on the way home from where I work I thought if the price was similar I might as well just pop on my way home. Forget it, way too much like hard work!
