Not exactly do it yourself but I just wondered if anyone else has had this
experience or if its just me.

I bought a new car yesterday ( that is I ordered it two weeks ago and
yesterday I collected it). Its a Mazda 2 ( 1.5 engine). I got lots of
extras as part of the deal ( for free as they say) from Mazda, including
insurance for a week to enable me to bring the car home without them
having to mess with my insurance sending out cover notes for them to tax it.

Anyway, I sold my old car part exchange . I got the new one home and rang up
yesterday afternoon to change the insurance and the bloke at the call
centre ( direct line by the way) told me off for daring to buy a new car
without getting their permission first.

Tell him to feck off, theres plenty of competition in this area.

YOU are their customer and as much as they might not like it you are
paying them and an oik like that needs to be removed from their call
centre.
If anyone did that to me they'd be history now. Fortunately our brokers
are all rather helpful and polite and are as well priced as online and
we've been with them for some 20 odd years now...


I was just shocked and quite upset at being told I wasn't allowed to buy a
new car without getting their approval first.

Has anyone else had this or did I just get a weird call centre guy? My OH
thinks its funny but its upset me and spoilt having a new car for me.
Thanks.


As above theres plenty more insurance fish in the sea. If you need a
good broker 01480 393939 .. Four counties at St Ives Cambs...
