Jaffa came from Sean - I was reluctant at first but I found him fine to deal with
I found no "issues" with the car I didn't find when I tested it
The S20004U controversy was caused by a guy who bought the business from him and it has turned in to a self perpetuating internet legend
This white one has been around since last summer because of the mileage and the high price (similar to what I paid for an orange GT with half the miles on)

No one go near this place. I have a reliable source that says all their cars are very dodgy. I did think odd that they stocked so many S2000s. They have maybe 8 or 9 spread through eBay, gumtree and the like.

I was going to pop in the other day. Was literally round the corner from there.

So you are telling me my car is dodgy then, even though I've had 5 off them and it has been extensively worked on by Daytona Dave
If you don't have personal experience you ought not to trot out rumours from mates

I went to view a few cars of his back in 2007 I think? He had some right lemons but also some nice ones.

I guess what matters with buying from a dealer is if something goes wrong how will they react and help/not help.

it is a nice colour but a stupid price, the market is telling him that by the fact he's sat on it for 4 months or more?

might be a rogue trader but doesnt mean all his car are guffas.. this one though, who'd buy a 140k car for that money? crazy days

I have seen this one about the net and immediately put off by the mileage and price. I also don't like ads where the listed mileage is 0 or not specified as it is a way of roping people in.

The car itself looks stunning, but alarm bells rang for me straight away.
