Just goes to prove what kind of person he is.

Perhaps the magazine would do an update if you spoke to them? You were kind enough to help them with the article and shoot.

Surely the adage "never buy a used car from a dealer and if you must, always presume they are lying, cheating life of the lowest order until proven otherwise" applies here as it normally does?

There's nothing unusual about any of this.

Thanks Aldford! Nice bit of homework! I have saved that information to be used as evidence against him.

Wow is this thread still going?

i remember when i was looking, it gave me a heads up, and so when i did go down there the way we were treated was no real surprise.

He's a used car dealer, so the caveat emptor applies. but i certainly wouldn't buy a car from him based on my own experience.

it's good to have this thread to refer to.

I also had the unfortunate trip of wasting my time going down there to be confronted by what looked like a cocky Estate Agent.

I just remember some poor chaps face with his girlfriend who made his way down from Lincoln IIRC, and he went 5 miles up the road and was towed back to s2000 4u in an s2k.

Waste of breath this company.
