Has anyone every dealt with these guys?

http://www.stgeorgesmotors.co.uk/

They have a car I'm going to look at tomorrow. Its a fair way from my neck of the woods so just wondered if anyone knew anything about them or had bought a car from them.

Cheers

I drive pasty them every day on my way to work and I must admit, other than a LOT of road cones there, I've never seen a 'used car garage' there! They do have a lot of rental hire vans etc but no showroom that is road facing. It may be hidden behind one of the buildings for security purposes but certainly no 'road' presence.

Have you looked a the bottom of their home page? It seems a bit hastily put together as it still has generic text in there.

I have purchased a BMW M5 from St Georges Motors. I came from out of town to pick it up, car was immaculate, as described and they made sure it was washed for me when i collected it. Very nice guys,they have a yard behind a car hire company. You are right when you say they dont have much road presence as i drove past them first time around and had to call to ask if i was at the right place. The level of service was spot on from start to end. It looked like they were BMW specialists, from the looks of their forecourt, plenty of BMWs parked up. Heaven for me, hell for my wife.

I live in High Wycombe and I go past that location on a daily basis and I didn't know they were there and I've certainly never heard of them.

Lived in High Wycombe all my life, never heard of them. Wasn't that long ago I was trawling through all the local dealers as well.

Can check it out if you want, save you the journey?

I would like to take you up on that offer, but I have to say I have reservations and I wouldn't want you to put yourself in a potential situation that may not be conducive to your wellbeing (yeah I'm very pessimistic).

Other cars around.

And yeah to the chap who posted he had a good deal. That just screams bks. If not, then I apologise, but I'd need more convincing. If they washed it for you, drive it to me.

1. 3 separate company names.
2. I always seem to talk to the guys brother, rather than the bloke selling the car.
3. Total disinterest when talking to me about doing a deal.
4. I hate being referred to as mate or bruv by people I'm talking to for the first time. Don't assume a level of conversation on a first time call.
5. Based on the above languge of English, I've made an assumption on the type of person selling the car. And with the other points, I am just not interested. Prejudice, yeah I guess so.
