Sale or Return - Driven Image?

[Tango7]

I have got my S2 Exige up for sale and despite having a low price set for my immaculate car, its still here and I expect the current weather conditions aren't helping!

Anyway, I have been contacted by Driven Image (http://www.drivenimage.co.uk) about either a part exchange for a car they have or possibly to offer a Sale-or-Return transaction with my car on show in their place in Wetherby. Does anyone know this company and can they recommend their service?

I don't know them at all and whilst I know about Sale-or-Return and hear that some owners have used it effectively, the only experience I think of is a friend who nearly lost all his money on a car and has taken over 5 years to get get around 95% repayment.

Otherwise, if anyone wants an immaculate S2 Exige in starlight black metallic then drop me a line and I will happily have a chat about a price for a sale. The advert and details are on Pistonheads : http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/893150.htm

Judging by the address, I think they're connected to Pure Lotus - reports on them are mixed.

Thorpe Arch village is very near the trading estate of the same name, but a couple of miles apart. I used to work next door to Pure Lotus and popped in a couple of times. Might be worth driving up to have a look and find out more. The roads around there are great - all the bikers end up around nearby Sherburn so wait til the snow's cleared and go for a good blast!

They phoned me regarding my TVR yesterday aswell offering sale or return

Thanks for the replies. I know what you mean about Pure Lotus as a friend visited there very recently and the car wasn't as he expected which was a bit of a shame for the miles he had travelled.

Chris, what did you think?

Your Exige is a nice car, and seems to be well priced for it's spec. Just a hard time to get a sale at this time of year. If you can hold on for a month or two more, I'm sure it'll shift.

Sounds ok to me but I live so far away so transport cost etc etc think i'll keep trying here with e-bay, autotrader. I am desperate to buy the Silver Exige S down at dream machines so if you know anyone after a very late T350c with warranry!!!

I actually work in the motortrade along with alot of my friends and they all say driven image is a good place.

Thanks Chris for point about the motortrade knowledge.

S Works, yes its a great car and colour but I fancy a change. With the Lotus warranty on it I thought it would appeal to a lot of people who could buy it and know that everything is covered which is not usually the case with a private sale.

I wouldn't personally do a sale or return, I had a nightmare with a dealership in Harrogate in getting my TVR Sagaris back.

I just checked out your Exige on the classifieds (you responded to one of my posts yesterday). What a corker, it looks stunning! Out of my price range unfortunately, but if it was in my price range I'd be on my way to see you this weekend!

Fingers crossed for a sale soon.

Just a quick note to say that although we are good friends of jay at pure lotus, we have no business connection what so ever other than being in the same area.

Thanks for the postings - very useful. Aftr a bit of thought I have decided to punt the advert again with a reduced price and see how it goes. The new advert is http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/893150.htm
