Hi, I'm thinking of purchasing a 360 and I have a figure in mind of circa £40k

Outside looking at the usual websites, I wondered who the respected dealers are who have gained a solid, honest reputation.

Any experiences, goood or bad welcome about dealers as well as any general tips from people that have been down this road recently themselves.

Gracias

I'd have a poke around on the Club Scud website - plenty of clues there biggrin

I bought privately, not sure if you have considered that.

Didn't set out specifically to buy from a dealer or private - the right one came up on private sale with everything in order so bought it.

Just another option you may want to keep in mind, get an inspection done and check the service history - they are pretty solid cars.

I bought mine from Tim Walker - great reputation and lots of cars near your budget. He even called me up the other day as he'd noticed I'd posted over on Club Scud that my exhaust was blowing - he offered to replace it free of charge.

Bought my privately from Club Scud member, done PPI with reputable indy.
Worked better for me, similar cars through dealers were at least 10% more expensive after negotiation.
There are plenty of reputable dealers there (check Club Scuderia for advise) however I don't think that 6 month dealer's warranty (independent) worth the difference of 4-5k in my case. 360's are pretty solid cars, just buy on condition and carry PPI.
