Hey guys

Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad from buying cars at this garage?

I'm considering buying a car there and wondered if anyone has dealt with them before.

Any feedback, greatfully received.

I have test driven both a Fiat Coupe and a MX-5 there, dealt with a different person each time, sadly each time the car in question was very over priced and ended up buying else where for considerably less, on the MX-5 they were not prepared to move on the price at all, which was sky high at the time.

Living fairly locally to it, I have not heard anything bad, but I have not heard anyone sing there praises either.

I bought my first Scooby from them, unfortunately the big-end went about 10 miles later. At first they didn't want to give me my money back but just to replace the engine with one from a breakers. It took a week and a sternly worded letter about the sale of goods act to get my money back.

I'm happy they didn't know they were selling me a dog and although they tried to get me to accept a replacement engine (IIRC) they weren't too pushy about it. I certainly don't think they're any worse than the average, and probably better than that. At least they knew what they were seling.

Thanks both. biggrin

I'm not expecting a great part ex price, so it may not matter, but its not too far from me for the car we're looking for, so it maybe worth a view/test drive anyway.

Cheers!
