My only experience is when calling to request some information about an S2K, i was spoken to in a very blunt manor which made me not want to commit any further with them, even in terms of a viewing.

Similar but different.

Back when I was still looking for a MY06 they were advertising a few. Every time I called for more info e.g. service history, number of previous owners, the car had 'just been sold' and 'could I take your particulars'.

Now, whenever I see an advert from these people I assume their invariably too-good-to-be-true price is just a come on.

To add about the tyres...

Whislt I was waiting for a replacement car they offered me a red one which I nearly bought as I was desperate to get away from them.

When I went to look at it had a full MOT but when I inspected it the rear tyres were way past the limit. They offered to exchange the wheels and tyres when I went fot something to eat and were a little upset when I didnt want the car when I got back.

[QUOTE=www.s2000-4u.co.uk,Jun 26 2008, 12:26 AM]IT MIGHT BE PRUDENT TO ANSWER SOME POINTS AS RAISED SINCE THIS THREAD REOPENED .

WARRANTIES

BECAUSE OF VALID POINTS MADE BY MEMBERS AND GUESTS AND ALSO OUR IN HOUSE POLICIES SOME 6 MONTHS AGO THE WARRANTY PROVIDERS WERE CHANGED ALL BE IT WE HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE CLAIMS AND AS A RULE WE ONLY HEAR FROM CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PROVIDER OF WHICH WE HAVE RECEIVED HARDLY ANY COMMUNICATION WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE CURRENT WARRANTY PROVIDER IS GOOD THEY ARE LLOYDS SYNDICATED AND ARE USED ON ALL TYPES OF SPORTS AND LUXURY CARS .

HOWEVER I AGREE THAT A GENUINE HONDA WARRANTY IS THE WAY FORWARD AND WE WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO OFFER THE PRODUCT TO OUR CUSTOMERS AS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST [THERE IS HOWEVER A BIG COST DIFFERENCE IN THE PURCHASE PRICE] ALSO PLEASE REMEMBER THE HONDA WARRANTY SAYS NO TO CLAIMS AS WELL .

MATTS S2000 AND NOISY BOYZ THANKYOU FOR YOUR POSSITIVE COMMENTS WE HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOUR S2000 EXPERIENCE .

S20004U HAS ON MANY OCCASSIONS TRIED AND WANTED TO MEET UP WITH AQUILLA EAGLE SO THAT S20004U CAN WORK WITH THE FORUM AS THE COUNTRIES LARGEST AND LEADING SUPPLIER OF NEW AND USED S2000S SURELY IT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE .

WE SELL APROX 25 S2000S A MONTH LESS THAN 10% OF THOSE PURCHASERS JOIN S2KI WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM ALL JOINING AND APPRECIATING THE BENEFITS OF THE FORUM /MEETS /DISCOUNT INSURANCE ETC ETC

It's been a while since I've been on here, and I'm both happy and sad. Happy that this bunch of idiots are still being highlighted for their appauling customer care, but very sad that they've not been shut down -permanently.

The recent comments on the 'Lawdata' solicitors S2000-4u use brought back some happy memories for me. The letter I received from them during my troubles looked as though a 5 year old had written it, you'd of thought a qualified solicitor would know where to use comas, full stops and -obviously- capital letters!

I see that S2000-4u or Sports and Prestige of Four Marks have recently altered website reviews:

http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews132187.html

http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews244123.html

The first webiste -with their fantastic reviews is a complete load of bollocks. Since when have so many satisfied customers ever consistently (check the dates) and happily fed back on a car dealer?????? How many log in names can Sean/Dominic have??????? I like the change of ownership mentioned also, it might have something to do with a large payout i know they were meant to be forking out for around 12 months ago!

I just hope anyone looking to buy a car off this lot do a thorough search and fine this thread, -before commiting to buying a crock off our friends in Four Marks!

Sticky, as far as I can see your last post besides the 2 above, was to say that you had recieved a payout from S20004U and were happy.

If you have not had any recent direct experience can you be sure your comments are justified?

We maintained a while back that only facts should be posted here, so if I can ask you to review your above posts with that in mind.

And any recent / direct experiences, factually put, would be welcome
