Apart from a bit of internet hearsay about the dealer and some playground opinions about the interior colour (which I quite like!) what's to stay away from?

I've never been to Williams and no affiliation, but he's been in business for years and carries stock from hot hatches to Ferraris. I'd go, take a look and if YOU like it make a low-ball offer. There's an opc in Cardiff so you could ask about taking it there for an inspection - and judge him by his reaction.

I think that Turbo has been for sale for ages...not that that makes it a bad car, but might be a reason why it hasn't sold?

I've has some bad used car experiences from a few dealers but I bought my 6C4S from Andrew a few years back and has been the best used car I've ever had.

Get it checked and what's the issue? Chris Denning can do the PPI.

I spoke to them a few times regarding a speed yellow 996 C4S that they had in stock - the overwhelming impression I got was that they really couldn't be arsed.

A few months later, and 2-3k in price drop and it was still in stock... rolleyes

I spoke to them about the blue 996 turbo recently.

Never again.

Colour and trim combo of death.

You won't be able to resell without huge grief.

Plenty about, just move on to the next one?

They're about a mile apart on the same road (Penarth road), so a decent runner could do it in 5min!

Anyway, the guy didn't even get off his chair when I walked in and asked about a couple of cars, he just sat there and pointed at them. It's a grim experience, it's just dead in there and the stock seems not to change much.

The tiptronic blue turbo appears to have a GT2 style front bumper?

Quite pricy to do with original parts, a little investigation wouldn't go a miss me thinks.

I've never bought a car from them so can't really comment in that sense however, I went in to have a look at a Mini Cooper S a year ago (after phoning in advance).

Nice showroom with lots of nice cars but the 'test drive' was a joke. We drove around the block (Sloper Road, Leckwith Road, Hadfield Road for anyone who knows the area) in one long very slow queue of cars, top speed was about 20 miles an hour.

The guy who was on the drive with me (the owners son I believe) seemed to think this was enough to convince me what a great car the mini was. It wasn't and I didn't buy it.

Don't take it to heart 'old boy', just poking a bit of fun. Hence the smilie.

I have looked at this car. Nothing really wrong visually, but it looks a little tierd in my opinion. I have no idea about how it runs or its mechanicals, that was just my view from opening the door and having a nose and a sit in.
