Well...it ain't going to be Gaspode's

FACT:

This car had 48,000 miles on the clock when it was recently part ex'd at an Audi dealer.

http://www.s2000-4u.co.uk/vehicle-details....ge=2&ID=1206761

It is being advertised with 39,000 on the clock.

Interesting

(They can't spell Nurburgring either)

So who is going to ring up and ask them the mileage tomorrow?

Can't abide crooks like these and the likes of CTL.

Hi, i purchased my s2000 from there. I have not had any problems, my part ex was delt with quickly and for a good price. One small issue i had was the tax. I know it was my fault for not checking but i didnt think what i thought was a reputable dealer would let me drive away with no car tax or even a warning that it had none. Especially when they knew i had a bit of a drive home. Other than that my experiance was ok, however after reading this thread i doubt i will go back. Will.

I know the car mentioned above very well, It's a very good car and will be snapped up. The first person to look at it will be dazzled by the performance, handling and noise. They'll not notice the details until it's too late

They'll pay over the going rate for it and find that it's higher Mileage also means that it's soon to need a big service.

That's Boab01's old car he had from new and spent a lot on it putting Nitrons on etc.
I remember putting the spoiler on the boot for him.
It then went to another board member so it would be easy to verify the mileage and history

On topic personally I would not buy from them, too much doubt for me!
