Have you had any good/bad experience dealing with James Agger Autosport?

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Daft question I think - since the no name & shame policy on here means there wont be any serious criticisms.
I would be inclined to ask a dealer if he has ever been sued and what the outcome was.

He has a first class reputation. But as with any dealer you should still check the car carefully. He more than most will try and buy the best.

I would not expect any negative response in an open forum but people are free to send me a PM, as some have already done, if they don't want to comment openly.

At the end of the day, I realise that all traders will have good and bad references, it's about the ballance being in fevour of good feedback that will help.

Thanks for the responses so far.

My mate brought the T350 press car off him, easy transaction, very helpful. When he came to sell it James brought it back, again easy transaction.

My car came from James Agger originally, it still has their sticker on it, but I bought it privately so I've not dealt with them directly. I've heard good things about them though.

Slightly off topic, I'd like to know who bought the black Cerbera with some shade of yellow interior, sounds naff but looked awesome and the car looked a good'n. About 12 months ago, Anyone?
He does seem to pick the nicer cars to deal with.

Tang Soo Tim bought the Cerb - spent a fortune fixing it to this standards.

Cool, I almost considered having a look at that. Was the cost upgrade wise or needed?

I purchased my Tamora from James almost six years ago and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him very genuine bloke imho and would definitely buy from him again although the Tamora is still awesome so no need as yet!!!

The car is looking and sounding awesome and he's loving every minute, in fact he's off to Spa this weekend with friends (would be going too but fitting shocks) smile Tim will be posting the upgrades and the extras and inprovements in due course smile

I've dealt with James Agger for well over ten years and he's a top bloke.

He's supplied me a number of cars, all fab. He knows his stuff.

Visited James today (really nice guy) to inspect a test drive an S3c.

The car is in great condition, the interior is like new. It drives well, sounds great but as this is the first S3 I have driven my only reservation was whether an S3 is what I want next......

..... decisions, decisions :-)

Paul, are you looking to add a further one to sit along side the Tuscan and the Chim (3 would be rather greedygetmecoat), or to replace one of them?
