Hi all, i'm intending, weather permitting, to go and have a look at a car there this weekend. If anyone knows of them, do they have a good reputation overall?

Nothing special, the Touareg for the wife, also hoping to look at the V10 with Freewheelers.

Owned by a guy called Lance, good reputation, good guy, stocks some nice machinery. You should be fine.

As you'll be in the area, it maybe worth having a chat with Clive at Germania too.

Britannia are good, had the previous BMW from them. Russell is the sales guy, tell him you've been recommended by one of the guys from Sudbrook CC. A few of us from the club have had cars from him in the past without any problems ;-)

Thanks again for that. I'm just waiting on a phone call before making an appointment to go view it, nice to know that they are a decent dealer before hand!

Hi Nic,

Haven't spoken to you in a long time!, im guessing this is the Nic Dale im thinking off?, hows things?.
did you see the vehicle after?, I was going to comment it's not a bad garage at all, they tend to deal in more prestigous/luxury stuff and not the run of the mill bread and butter stuff, so take you a bit more seriously instead of trying to force you in to a sale.

Hi Dale, it must be! Doing good thanks, yourself? What you driving these days? I did intend to go up on the weekend but snowed under with work at the moment, might try and nip up this weekend.

I'm very well thanks Nic, nothing interesting at all currently, just a lowely company car. I have been flirting with the idea of getting something "fun", but parking space is at a premium where I live, might give it more consideration this year though!. What's in your fleet currently?.

I'm bumping up am old thread rather than starting a new one.

In about to contact these, is their reputation still as it seemed to be according to this thread?
