It's the guy I bought my Wife's S2000 off.
Oakhill have had bad press before but I'm not sure if it's the same managment.
The guy has been forced by the local authourity to shut down his Oakhill of South Warnborough site as they objected to the amount of cars he had on site. He is currently redeveloping the site into Offices instead. He is running his business from his home, which incidently is one of the biggest houses I have ever seen. It is set in its own wood behind electric gates and and has about a 400 yard driveway that leads you into an open court yard complete with fountain and Aston Martin Vanquish. House looks to be around 9 bedrooms. To the right is where he is selling cars from which is through another gate that opens up into a gravelled area with around 20 S2000's, 5 Porsche Boxsters, a couple of Ferrari's and purpose built sales office.
If you are worried, which I don't think you should be, you could always deliver the car to him and have a lookaround, it's worth a nosey.
Do me a favour and mention the S02JZ tyre issue as he doesn't believe me and Honda no longer want to back me up.

Meet the guy...drive him to your bank and pay the draft in. If your bank say everythings OK, then it should be. Also, they'll have the guy on camera should there be any problems.
Just a word of warning. A Bankers draft isn't as good as cash, even if it's a genuine draft it only shows the balance in the account when the draft was drawn up. The money could have been withdrawn since the draft was drawn up. It is only guranteed after the money has cleared.

I had a young girl who wanted to buy my car, I was already a little suspicious of her becuase she wanted to buy it without even looking at it. She wanted to pay for the car on a friday after the banks had closed, when I wouldnt let her she pulled put of the deal

Take the bankers draft to the bank and get them to check it out first before parting with your S.
Get your bank to speak to the issuing Bank to confirm the draft's validity.

The plot thickens....
I have just driven past and all the cars have been moved off the forecourt, apart from 2 which were just being driven away.... Wonder if they've been found out again....
Looks like they've either had a particularly successful weekend
, or they are closing again!
Nick - I hope you don't have outstanding business with them....

The original site I believe is to be turned into offices.
I have recently bought a car from them and everything seems in order. If you are to buy a car off them though don't bother with the free Warranty (
