Re: Top555 Performance Cars (Oakham) - Experience

[mattf93]

Just a general enquiry into peoples dealings/experiences with this company,
they are local to me, and I don't think I have read a bad comment about them so far

Although I personally am not in a position to buy from them, their stock generally seems to be pretty good,
always will stop and have a quick chat and don't try and turn you away.... unlike some of the other less exclusive dealers (BMW).

Any stories, or anybody had their dream car brought from here that they've had a great experience with?

bought SLS there last year and dealt with Dan Baines- top bloke, top company

Higher end of pricing BUT best end of preparation of the cars

Would highly recommend

Highly recommend them - bought my 2008 Gallardo from Tim over 2 years ago, just sold it back to him. Great to deal with, highly professional and the cars are top notch with the proper history and most cases recently serviced by the respective manufacturer.

Can't fault them - exceptional service! Charles is a very nice guy to deal with.

I take it yours is the immaculate giallo spider they have in at the moment? Charles couldnt believe what good condition it was in, said it was one of the best kept examples they'd seen!

Why do you ask then?

Purely interested to hear peoples reviews, last time I checked it wasn't a crime to do so.

Yup, that's mine....even gave it a minor detail day before Tim collected it...

Bought my dbs off them,very happy .they prep the cars lovely,mine was way nicer than any I viewed at Aston dealers.
they want to be viewed as a valid alternative to main dealers and I think they go about it the right way.
Wouldn't hesitate to use them again .

Bought my S65 from them in 2009 I think - great experience and really helpful people

Do you still have it or has it moved on?
And have you seen/been in the new S63/S65s? SO nice inside!

[prashan]

Well, it took a mere 48 hours for TOP555 to sell my Gallardo....

I still have it and have hit 70,000 miles now. Keep wondering what to replace it with but nothing really out there compares other than s new S65 I suppose!

[gregf40]

I've bought from them in the past and would highly recommend them.

They're rather pricey new :P scary money, usually best to let someone else take the initial depreciation hit first. Is the s65 your daily driver? Was behind a new E63 yesterday and they seriously shift :P

The list price of my car was £176k. I bought it 6 months old with 4500 miles on it for £106k. That is some knock for the first owner!!! It is my daily driver over summer and then I have B63S for the winter as Daily driver. Both great cars

A B63S? As in the Brabus 6x6? :P Or did you mean something else?
Someone paid £176k plus options? you got it at an absolute steal!
