Anyone bought a car from this garage? They have a 3.0 Z3 I quite fancy taking a look at but before I do has anyone had dealings with them good, bad or otherwise?

[MadDad]

Thanks guy's, I am going to take a look this morning so will let you how I get on - my issue could be getting them to take a FIAT Barchetta in p/x....

[MadDad]

To be honest I did not go into the office in the end although a guy did come out to ask if I needed help. The car looks great but the front bumper is touching the bodywork on the drivers side and the rear bumper does not line up as well as I expected, also there appeared to be some overspray on the inside of the wheel arches and in a couple of the joins between the body panels. Maybe I am being a bit too fussy but it did not 'feel' right. If you have a spare 5 mins pop down and let me know what you think, there is only one Z3 in there at the moment so its not hard to find!

[MadDad]

Thank you sir, I would value a 2nd (or third) opinion - at a glance the car looks great but when you get close there are one or two bits that look as if they have had attention - on the other hand maybe I am being a little fussy!

Have a look at where the front bumper meets the front wing on the drivers side, the rear wheel arches and the gaps between the bodywork and let me know what you think

Hey - how about a mini-SAS meet there on Saturday? 1:00pm?

Followed by lunch?

I am working away Mon-Fri at the moment (Torquay of all places) but might be able to make it for Sat (missus and kids permitting)......

Actually - on 2nd thoughts - maybe not.

I know I'll come away having purchased something

Perhaps I'll leave my cash and credit cards at home

Nah, treat yourself (or at least buy lunch!!)

[MadDad]

Times is hard, you never know your luck!!

[MadDad]

I had a quick poke around that, very nice in the metal......just a tiny bit over my budget at the moment!

[MadDad]

I have spoken to a couple of people since the weekend that have had dealings with them, all rated them well (although they did pay good money for the cars) - main thing for me now is a second opinion in the Z3............?

[MadDad]

Hope to, the missus made some plans while I was away this week but I should be able to slip away for a bit (but won't know until tomorrow.......).............

[MadDad]

I will try my best, she has gone to bed and I have been to the pub so probably not a great time to discuss my lunchtime arrangements at the moment!!

[MadDad]

Call off the cavalry - I have just checked the advert and its sold..............on with the search!

I only have about 6k to play with at the moment but if anyone stumbles across someone looking to move on a decent spec 2.8 or 3.0 Z3 or Boxster drop me a line......................was thinking about the auctions, any idea what the prices and availability is for these at the moment???

[MadDad]

OK, sorry guys but the fun police have spoken and given me a list of stuff to do as long as your arm! I will see if I can get down for 13.00 but cannot make any promises just in case.................

Nigel, thanks for the link - might try to get to see if tomorrow - 'stuff to do' permitting!

[MadDad]

Sorry - sorry - sorry - sorry, my most humble apologies. I am working away Mon-Fri at the moment and don't see the kids hence the missus organised some kid related 'stuff to do', just finished........

What did you think of the beemer?
