Has anyone on here used these guys? either for service or actually buying a car?

Any advice welcomed.

Cheers!

Prices look very tempting on the surface.
That black 355 at under £29k.
They may end up as money pits!
Seem like a fairly professional firm though.

Does look tempting that one, but the line "some service history" kind of puts that price into perspective though. Nice looking colour combo though, I think that 355s' are gorgeous in black.

I would stay well away, I am a car broker (not braker) and know for a fact these prices are too cheap. Without any warranty I would be asking alot of questions.


I tend to agree.
They are cheap for a reason. Probably, they have some dodgy areas in their past.
A bit like sleeping with a girl that you just met at a nightclub. She may have a dodgy past too, if you know what I mean!

Or worrying about servicing, or warming up gently, or if the guy he sells the scrap to rebuilds and then sells on as straight.

Not suggesting any of the above is the case, but if something is too good to true, it usually is.

I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole - intersting lack of airboxes in the black 355 - why ? There are airbox mods but these are not them - and pipes blocked up with polystyrene (probably for shipping ) but wherea re the airboxes - a set of those will prob set you back about 800 for starters.....Trust me having owned a 355 myself and having watched a friend buy a 348 for 25k and then spend 12k on it over 3 months to get it sorted - the only 'cheap' thing is the initial price - you will prob end up spending a lot of money - with no recourse if anything goes wrong.... your shout but you'd be better off spending it on the blackjack table IMHO

I for one wouldn't want to spend £30K+ with a company whose sales literature has virtually no punctuation and uses the spelling 'warantee'.
