Hiya folks, from the south coast. Yes, fecking miles away from a car I like. Isn't that always the way?

Wondered if any of the Scottish PH contingent knew of this dealership or even would be prepared to have a look see at a car on my behalf, quite a rare car, a facelift CLS500. I know it's a big ask but in the first instance wanted to establish if there are any horror stories about the dealership (please PM me if that is the case, due to PH naming and shaming rules). I'd consider biting the bullet and buying remotely but the one thing putting me off is that they seem to offer cars with only 1 month's warranty...

Thank you in advance for any views.

There are a good number of PH'ers around EK so I'm sure you'll get an answer but if not you could also try over on Tartan Tarmac.

At this time of year, a few of us may may "busy" for a few days, remember it is still a Bank Holiday on Monday up here.

Good luck!

I bought an XJ8 from them 3 years ago. The car was as described, not perfect, but as described. I got a reasonable px and they where fairly straight forward to deal with. Small warehouse type building with all the cars inside, no workshop onsite but an MOT/tyre and exhaust place nearby and they did the new MOT
I never had any cause to go back and test their customer service as the Jag never had any issues. They seem reasonably well established. I check their stock from time to time(as you do) and they have some interesting stuff passing through.

Not much but HTHs

Hi Thevet,

Thanks for the offer. No immediate hurry as a car has come up local to me so going to pursue that one first of all.

Cheers
