I dont know the car but have previously sold to them on a trade basis.

I would advise you get the following in writing.

Number of keys, number of previous keepers, has it been a rental vehicle (they had an ex rental a Ferrari a few weeks back) and most important get a detailed copy of the service history before going any further.

My Dad bought his F-Type from them many years ago, they were in a slightly different location then, just round the corner and a lot more 'rough and ready'.
He's not had any problems but they do very much give the impression they never want to see you again after they have sold the car, we are very local to the place, but never had to go back, never been to the new 'showroom' it used to be a tights factory. wink

It does seem a bit like treating the sale like a private one, which frankly I wouldn't want to do at that price point, unless the car was a unicorn or you can do a full independent check, obviously they do seem to have lots of great reviews, as always it's only when something goes wrong do you find out how good someone's customer service is. scratchchin

Might be worth having a read through the “discounted thread” on the Lotus Emira thread.
Obviously usually 2 sides to every story though.

Thanks for all the comments. The car is such a rare colour. But hey ho.
However I need to let my head overrule my heat I thin. Will probably go main dealer and Aston Martin warranty route.

Hyper red ... lovely colour up close and clean.

My car is the same colour. Looking at that car for it's age and mileage it seems a little strong on price. I was able to get mine with 11,000 miles from AM Nottingham in February at a few grand less than this cars sticker price. Plus I got 12 months Timeless Warranty as part of the deal and few small sweeteners that I had asked for on the day of collection.

Yes it’s a lovely colour thanks for the reply. Enjoy, the search continues still up in the air on a Vantage or a California T with the Handling pack ?
