michael Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 My boss is driving me mad, he's been looking for a VW Touareg for months now but each time we find him something suitable it's either a bit too expensive, doesn't have some extra he wants or is the wrong colour. We are sick of looking on Autotrader.co.uk, VW dealers are on his daily to-do list, we've seen a couple on Pistonheads (too chav / expensive) and he keeps an eye on eBay - are there any other car sale sites I could pass on to him so that he finally buys one and shuts up?

Ark Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Why doesn't he just go to a dealer and tell them "I want x, y, and z. Go fetch"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Michael, Are you actually employed to source cars for him or is he taking the proverbial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I think you have it more or less covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Why doesn't he just go to a dealer and tell them "I want x, y, and z. Go fetch"? Because he's an assclown and doesn't want to pay dealer prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Because he's an assclown and doesn't want to pay dealer prices Well that's his hard shit really. You either stump up the spondoolies and get what you want or you get second best. Assclown- love it, great expression! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Are you actually employed to source cars for him or is he taking the proverbial? Currently I'm employed to sit here doing very little while listening to him moaning on about being unable to find a car he likes. I'm doing this hunt in order to keep myself sane rather than doing it for him, there are currently 8 of us sat here doing the same thing, he's that bad This isn't a 'boss rant' - he's a reasonable guy.

Thorin Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 A reasonable assclown. Sounds like the Toerag would suit him then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 What the hell does he want with a Touareg anyway..? I suspect it's a midlife crisis thing, we've tried to drum some sense into him, I've shown him he could have a nice Cerbera and a cheaper 4x4 but he craves the Passat on stilts. I can't think of a worse choice but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
