Ian Shammon Dealership - Lincoln - any experiences?

[BHML]

Used car prices at a dealer that goes under the website www.ianshammon.co.uk seem ridiculously unbelievable - for instance a 2010 Audi A4 3.0 TDI Quattro S Line Special Ed for 9k.

I know that if it too good to be true, etc... but has anyone ever contacted them about any of their cars?

They are all photographed at different locations, and advertised at ridiculously low prices... Something isn't right.

I would guess the headline price is the deposit you put down for their "Finance Partner"

[Roger Woods]

All very odd, it would be interesting to find out what the 'score' is here?

Showing decent accounts.

Website is now showing this:

"Sorry, we don't have any cars available at the moment, please call back another time as we always have stock coming in."

I'm guessing something's wrong.....

Probably had their website hacked as our Auto Trader site was over the weekend, add loads of fictitious stock on at low prices and change the phone numbers.

I've never bought from them but I have "kicked tyres" there a few times. I know other people locally who have bought cars from them and have only good things to say, even when things have gone wrong the issues have been resolved satisfactorily.

Can't comment on recent prices or stock, as I don't drive past their pitch or log onto their website regularly, but if I could do so easily if someone was interested in a particular vehicle.
