I was once told that if you had nothing nice to say about someone ... then to say nothing at all

Not entirely sure what you mean?

I would love to hear nice things said, if they are peoples experiences.

I am thinking of spending, what is for me, an awful lot of money on a car. The benefit of peoples experiences, could be a help me decide where or who I buy from.

Thanks all the same.

Prestige Detail, thanks. Probably like most dealers than.

If there was a resounding "stay well away" that may make a difference.

Thanks again.

I hadn't clicked on this one - now the reasonable price of this car is put into perspective, I'd already wondered about it.....

Of course it's almost certainly a very good deal (well it definately is), as long as there are no issues with it..... a case for thourough due diligence I'd say...

Yep, me ...my black Diablo 5.7 VT about 4 years ago ...no problems at all, Amari was a gent and he made the somewhat daunting transition into Lamborghini ownership a very relaxed one! I part ex'ed a 996, which he came down to London to collect. When I picked the Diablo up he had addded a couple of freebies at no charge. There were no issues post purchase, but Amari was always ready to help at the end of a phone with those little idiosyncratic problems that make Diablo ownership so much fun!!!! Personally I wouldn't have a problem buying another car from him, but as with any car purchase I'd still do all the obvious due diligence!!!

The advice from the majority of respected members here is Carlo at Top Gear Specialist Cars, Dion at Elms Collection and Mike Pullen. When their names are mentioned, the moderators don't have to step forward to edit and delete posts.

As mentioned in a previous thread, inside information from a very reliable source has confirmed that there are only 3 1999 open headlamp Roadsters in the UK. Two of them have been involved in a smash. Only the yellow one is a straight car.

Well said Warren

There's an ex-Sant Agata (amari's old business) supplied lambo which has come to market recently and the paperwork doesn't match.

Amari definitely didn't short change the customer who bought his unique one of a kind black 6.0 Roadster. He got three cars for the price of one laugh
