Hi all. I might be buying a car from this dealer on saturday however he does not speak english. He has a simple website with little info on it. How can I find out more about him or any opinions of people who have bought from him? The second link is the car I am interested in.

The Website you linked is not his own, but an ad from mobile.de ,

the largest Auto trading Website in Germany.

I found no customer Feedback on Google, neither positive nor negative.

Benni's right, I've looked as well and couldn't find any sort of feedback.

Pascal,

Duisburg's a dump.

I don't know if this'll work but if it does, click on the street view picture, it's not the Renault place but the empty red place beside it, I'd pass, personally.

Probably wouldn't unless you'd be able to check the car & history over thoroughly by someone who (really) knows what he is doing.

Yeh I think ill pass on this one guys. As it happens I am taking someone very experienced with me to buy the car. I might take a look at it but I have heard that Duisberg is an industrial kind of area ( not good). I will take a look at it but I dont think I will buy it unless my specialist has total confidence in this car. I can defo see what you mean with the street view ( nothing is their ).

This one looks far more promising to me.

And so does this one.

Hmm, the first one looks the better of the two, the seller of the second one hasn't exactly said anything about it which makes me think that he hasn't had it for very long or is a private trader.

Do you really want a Z4 'Automatic'?
