Might be buying a car from these guys. Any experiences, good or bad? Seems to be a typical mixed bag on review sites.

Thanks guys,
Craig.

I never thought I'd see the day when there was an "opinion shortage" on LB...

Never heard of them, but it's a car dealer so at best, along with 99% of the industry, it'll be a nightmare if the car is a lemon you don't manage to spot before giving them the money.

Never knowing without an opinion no matter how bleedin obvious

Thanks for that...

Fortunately the car comes with a 3 month RAC backed warranty. I'm also financing the car myself and probably not doing a trade-in so hopefully most of the banana-skins are gone... Famous last words!

SOunds like your typical car sales warehouse, cars will be a mix of ex rentals, auction buys trade-ins, and 'we buy any car' jobs. Just look it over well, as if the cars not at a main dealer, or being sold privately, its possilbe its been a pain and the owner wanted to 'get rid quick'.

Apparently the one I'm looking at has had only 1 owner from new and was a company car. It's got a full BMW dealer service history too. I get the impression that this company is a bit better than your average car supermarket but I could be wrong. Hence my search for anyone who has had dealing with these guys before.

Thanks.
