Has anyone had any experience of dealing with Snippersgate in Houghton Le Spring.

PM me if you prefer to keep it confidential.

Thanks.

My old man bought a brand new Toyota Carina GL from there, Nov '84 iirc. I think the garage has changed hands since then.

Agreed. They seem to be pretty selective in choosing their stock making sure that the history of the vehicle is good.

Had my eye on a nice looking 911 with Aerokit at Snippersgate, unfortunately it turned out to be an Auto nono

Family run business, seem decent guys and usually have nice stock in. Seems they normally have a couple of grand across their cars if a recent Z4M coupe they had is anything to go by. They bought it from the guy who bought my Noble.

Turns out this particular 911 was also a Cat-D write off, doesn't say that in their advert - naughty naughty.

I found them to be disinterested, unhelpful and a bit snooty towards me when I was buying an Elise back in 2005. I went in all joyful and happy at the prospect of looking over a 111s they had in and came out feeling pissed off with a very glum face.

Maybe I caught him on a bad day!
