Scott's not making a very good car salesman, is he? He tells a punter his part ex is worth £5k against a £8k motor then the punter talks him into giving him £6k for his car and reducing the price of the new car by £1k which results in the company losing money on the deal. Look in next week to see if he gets the sack.

It was also easy to see how people can get into financial difficulties seeing the way they fiddled the system to get the girl the finance to buy a £13k Mercedes. She couldn't get the loan herself so they made the agreement out in her sisters name. I hope the finance company were watching.

Dodger - I think maybe the sister was being a guarantor? Not sure tho, but does just go to show how people get into difficulties buying things 'just for show' that they cannot afford.

Dodger - I am not sure anything illegal occured in the finance deal as seen - if the agreeing sister is willing to take on the loan, she is responsible for the payments - that is all the loan company will be concerned about.

The series is interesting, and it does appear that Scott is not cut out for selling. He presents a silent combination of desparation, frustration and naiivity, all of which are death to negotiation. My tip is the sack this week for him - which will be putting him out of his boss's misery!
