I know that they don’t have the best reputation but Saxton do have 2 Turbo S Cabs in stock and I’m still looking. Does anyone know anything about either cars or been to have a look at either of them?

Saxton? Are you completely insane?

Better to wait and find another suitable car from a different dealer.

Thanks, as I stated I know their reputation - I just wanted to know if anyone had viewed or knows the car.

Firstly an ex used to work at Saxton and told me about their practices at the time, so I would never buy from them.
Maybe they've changed, maybe they haven't.

As for the car, if it's the one they had a bout 2 months ago I wouldn't bother.

I had a few hours to kill so took a look around their Chelmsford showroom, and if it's the one I saw, it had plenty of scratches, which I would have expected to have been polished out (unless they tried and failed) the bolster on the drivers seat was scuffed (not shown in the pics) which I wouldn't expect for a car with the miles it had on the clock, it looked nice, but based on the aforementioned it gave me the impression that it hadn't been looked after.

But, as I said, I have no idea if it's the same car.

Thanks, they have 2 Carmine red cabs in stock - the one I’m possibly interested in is the 2018 car. Just wanted to get an independent appraisal before I travel to view it.

If you're serious then suggest an OPC pre purchase inspection and their willingness/reaction should tell you what you need to know

Yes sure - I buy every car on its merits and I’ve bought perfectly good cars from garages that arguably have a worse rep than they do. On a car like this I would always have it independently inspected before committing.
I just wondered if anyone had owned this or knew of its past.
