Metalic paint at Extra Cost even in the wrong colour

Agh! I’m going mad. After seven years I’ve finely decided it’s time to replace the car, a car we’ve had for ten years. I did try and replace it when it was just 3 years old but I got so frustrated I gave up!

So this time around we’ve considered Renault, Peugeot, Citroen, Ford, Vauxhall, Volvo… and finally the wife and I whittled it down to either the Skoda Octavia or a Mazda 6. We drove both on more that one occasion and finally decided on the Mazda 6 sport 2.2 Diesel and set about getting a quote.

The great thing we thought about buying new was that we could choose the options and colour. After all the manufacturer makes you pay extra for a Metallic or as in this case Mica.

How wrong we are it seems. Alan Gibson of Basingstoke are telling us that Rusty Red is what they have – and yes, they still want us to pay the extra for that colour even if its not what we wanted!

Aggh!!!
