Wow! People think I'm mad travelling the 130 mile round trip from Roy Bridge, but that's nothing compared with your journey. The loyalty discount certainly makes a difference and at least pays for my fuel!

With the cost of cars falling, I suppose it stood to reason that Franchised dealers would have to improve their margins somehow....

I read that due to the increase of grey imports and car supermarkets that main dealers were increasing their labour and parts prices to offset their losses.

Surprise surprise. ;-)
Perhaps they ought to just be more competitive, otherwise they are still going to drive custom away.
