I watched a recent TV programme covering two car salesmen who swapped jobs. A man from a low cost/ high volume dealership in Wales went to London and worked in a supercar specialist dealership in London and their man went to Wales. The programme did not throw up many surprises. However, the Welsh dealer handled his own finance and fitted a device to his cars sold on finance which immobilised the car if a payment due was not received and required a PIN number, sent by text message, to be entered before the car could be driven.

Yes, I watched this. I thought both the chaps concerned were nice genuine guys, and not the kind of extremes they tend to chose for these shows. Interesting how it lead them both to evaluate their own lives

Watched the same programme. Interesting how both realised that money wasn't the be all and end all and that family and friends were more important in the long run.

I enjoyed it too, for exactly the same reasons. Seemed to me that the one trying to sell supercars would need to be Superman to absorb the information involved. I really admired him for trying.

It was a very good show. I am surprised to note that both salesmen were on same £250/wk basic wage.
Funniest part was when the Welsh guy was trying to sell Ferarri to a customer boasting how it can fit 4 people inside :-)
It just proves the age old proverb - know your clientele.

I just watched this and enjoyed it.
I don't think the program was put together very well, it was disjointed and a little difficult to follow. It seemed like it had been made in a rush.
But how nice it was to watch a show about normal, pleasant people with normal issues and thoughts. I thought all the people involved were genuine. Such a pleasant change from the normal reality s***e featuring Big-Brother type low lifes.
A great show, let down a bit by the directing/editing.

Watched this on IPlayer this evening. I thought it was a bit tough on the guy assigned to the supercar dealership, IIRC 3 cars a month is the norm, so failing to sell one in 2 weeks wasn't so bad. And Joe Macari seemed to like him as did the customers. Not a bad programme, I was expecting the supercar seller to be a bit of a plonker but not so - at least, not that we saw in the programme. I found myself liking them both both :-o
I noticed that the Welsh guy wasn't invited back to Mrs. Supercarsalesman's house for dinner ;-)

Not so. He was invited, but he had a previous engagement.
