I was hoping it would make it easier for new buyers to find. Where would you recommend putting it so people could find it easily? Maybe it would be better in the "Important Topics" section on the main home page.

If people are considering buying one of these cars for the first time and they come accross this website, they need to be able to find a section on places to buy them from.

Hi Guys,

a little update about my experience.

After taking the S back again they took it in, kept it for a week and then told me they had sorted the clutch 'rattle' and that the clutch wasn;t slipping (utter bollocks). Anyhow, when i picked the car up all that had been done was a bolt being replaced and the gear box 'greased' (the reciept is honestly laughable). Re the front worn tyres, they got a written letter from an MOT centre saying the tyres aren't illegal but should be changed imminently.....Car is in DMS at the mo getting the clutch done and new tyres put on....1 other thing, the tyres they had on the rear were far too narrow.

Yes it's cost me money i wasn't budgeting for and yes i have relented as i could take no more time off work to keep driving down, writing emails and wasting a lot of time. I also thought the amount i could end up paying in court would just be better spent on sorting my car!

To be fair i got the car for a good price and with better wheels (which they tried to take back when i picked her up) however i feel very bitter over how i have been treated.

I should've fought on but i just don't have the time and want to enjoy my car.....can;t wait for this evening!

My advice to anyone looking to buy an S, DO NOT USE THESE ABSOLUTE SCHEISTER DOUCHEBAGS.

I have learn't a very, very valuable lesson!

Cheers

My son had problems with this firm when they were near Alton. He was told the car he was interested in was a UK car. Doing an HPI check it turned out to be Import. It was his word against theirs; They said they had made it clear that the car was an import. Both my son and I knew otherwise. He withdrew from the sale as all trust in the firm had gone. They refused to return his £500 deposit. Be wary!!!

Can you make this a sticky please MB?
I agree, have asked for this to be stickied a few times in this thread.

We should do anything we can to help potential new owners be aware of this company and its history.
