No-one had a gun to his head, your right but the sales rep convinced him that his money would be safe!
As for swearing, if you can lose £6000 and not be upset about it good for you, but my brother saved that money little by little, going into the show room time and time again to check out the bike he wanted, so he couldn't afford to lose £6000 and he has been told he'll never see that money again!!! So swearing doesnt even come close to how he feels, but thanks for the positive feedback!!!
