Interested in a car they have in stock but so far having trouble getting to speak to anyone.

Sent two emails and no response. Just wondered if anyone has used them in the past.

I know picking up the telephone would be easier but im in the depths of Africa for a few weeks so email easier for getting a lot of info.

Had a good experience buying from there some 18 months ago, so would recommend.

I showed interest in a black 05 GT3, a few years back. Same as op, no one replied to my emails, and no one returned my calls. They have plenty of top end stock, and was very helpful while I was there.
I pulled out in the end, as I found a lot of the service history was suspect.

Generally difficult to get hold of and the stock didn't look the best. But they are actually nice guys.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Did get a reply eventually.

Quick question regarding Porsche 2 year service intervals. If a car missed the 2 year interval by 7 days (and only did just over 10k miles in that period) would if effect Porsche allowing you to warranty the car? and do you think it would put off a future buyer. full OPC service history btw.

I called them six weeks ago and made an offer on the grey Audi S1 they have for sale - I made an offer on it and the "sales" ( term used very loosely ) man assured me " the manager will ring you back within half an hour "

That was six weeks ago and I've never heard from them - the offer I made was five quid more than the price the car was reduced to a month ago !

I usually buy about four or five cars a year and actually quite fancied the R8 they have for sale as well - but my view is that if companies can't be bothered to ring you back before they have your money then the service is unlikely to be good after they have it - so I went and bought a car elsewhere instead !

The Audi I made an offer on is now for sale at £505 quid less than I offered them two and a half months ago ! Just been watching Mary Portas on TV maybe she should visit this company !
