Amari Almighty

A recent deal and bit of showroom stalking with the above prompted me (unprompted) to articulate

Can’t help but notice - for a few years now this dealer continues to hold gobsmacking stock. I’m not talking your usual mid level stuff Re 488’s, R8’s and a few G Wags.
The place is literally jam packed with super mega exotic plus interestingly, plenty of lovely classic Supercars.
Had a good long look around the place on a few occasions lately. A massive bonus is the spacious double showrooms. Nothing nicer than being able to eyeball and scrutinise your potential purchase in perfect indoor conditions (whilst being left alone and unhindered)

Not visited for a year or too and was simply staggered by the standards now apparent.
The cars I looked at were all prepped to exceptional levels. I’m the fussiest freak out there and the bits I looked at were exemplary.

Afraid I’m a nosy sod too. Went in main offices and noticed the military precision regarding all and each cars paperwork and history file.
Attention to detail and the paper trail is key for me with cars (More so on the older stuff) and someone with OCD hangs out here!

So imo, the automotive choice and showroom standard at Amari is U.K. class leading - What about the gaffer and his right hand man???

The sales dude Anil is fantastic. He ain’t your usual run of the mill salesman. Not pushy at all He’s a listener, attentive, knowledgeable and obviously a petrol head. I had a few requests throughout and on collection and all and everything was perfectly dealt with. Again, not used to this.

Amari himself?? Well he isn’t your usual human let alone Supercar business owner

I’ve spoken and dealt with him over the years and it’s always been refreshingly & hilariously unforgettable. The man is pure theatre and a unique character. And all the better for it.
If you like to have your handheld and having your ears filled with sugar coated mainstream BS - he ain’t going to float your boat.
If, on the other hand, your a realist and like it how it is - with zero crap. He’s the real deal.

I rate this this place - end of

Holy cow! Thought I’d share my own experiences with recent dealings. Everything was of the upmost positive nature - I am certainly not biased, blinkered or dumb (debatable) and can assure you, not connected in anyway
I do my homework and carry out due diligence but ultimately I like to make my own judgement and not follow sometimes ancient historical negativity & naysayers.

Ok, my transaction was small change in the scheme of things, but all the same - I felt 100% confidence dealing with Amari.

The problem is you have lost all credibility because you have been talking them up for over 10 years. So one can only assume you have an ulterior motive.
Credibility ? Talking em up ? Motive ?

Jeez you must have have some axe to grind, if you do -fair enough, but please don’t cast unfounded waffle as to my thoughts or opinion - I think I may have voiced my opinion once or twice over the last decade but if you’ve trawled through all my posts to declare that fact, you would also notice equally similar positive comments, pointed to other car dealers whom I may have come across and enjoyed a great experience ie Bramley, Romans etc

Your right. This is going one way. And so am I....
Final few words
My heading to thread was a tad tongue in cheek
Amari is a fairly one off chap. Like him or not - and I do His stock is nothing but almighty. One can’t deny that.

I did fancy a car he had and subsequently made purchase. Shock Horror and please don’t st your pants, I concluded I was a happy customer and let it be known.
It would appear I’m not alone, in fact, low and behold, a couple more have said the same on this very same thread. Mind, they could be on the pay role too??

Here is a funny observation Quite a while ago I made comment on here about how I’d bought a rather expensive RS from probably one of the countries largest OPC’s. On purchase I was assured it was HPi and entitlement clear. About 2 years into ownership I discovered the previous keeper was still paying his £2k plus a month repayments, on the car he didn’t own, and there was still a massive balance marked against the car.

No comment or remarks were made at all by my good PH friends
Conversely, say something good and you’d better look out !

Jonny, I was willing to believe your original post was naive even though you have been here long enough to know better. What concerns me is your continued defense of the outfit. Surely, you would have done two minutes of research to find out what kind of fire you are playing with and yet you continued telling us how happy you are with the transaction.

It’s like saying “Harold Shipman was a loverly doctor” at a “Harold Shipman killed my mother convention”.

  • *********************
Naive and myself are luckily distant strangers. I’ve also been lucky enough to buy just one or two automobiles over the years.
As previously mentioned, this car was a monetary minnow in the scheme of things. However, it still involved my hard earned credit so my own ‘feel safe’ checklist was duly applied.
Who owns car, who can rightly sell car, HPi green lights etc etc ??
On this occasion, I’d had my eye on this actual car for some years and thus built up a clearer picture and understanding. So there you go - the car was without question.
What about the outfit now selling it ?

Of course I’d read negative ramblings with plenty of animated posters ready to put the boot in. Maybe most would take all this info on board and not risk it.
I’m in business and take risks, albeit calculated, every single day. I’m also aware that in business your going to ruffle feathers sometimes and not have a completely bunch of happy clients.
So instead of following the vocal crowd I like to make my own call and judgement.

I went, I saw, I liked, I bought, I was happy, and god forgive me, I told...
It must of happened before, it may happen again or maybe I was just lucky

I’m sure some of Harold Shipman’s patients made an appointment and left The Doctors surgery feeling better.

It won't be so great as nearly everyone is not able to 'name and shame' due to posting rules. So you have someone praising them but presumably has an ulterior motive.
Please presume nothing Bobby. Once again for clarity and to be crystal clear. I have zero ulterior motive, agenda or upside here. My transaction is done and dusted and I was absolutely not asked to write a post or leave positive feedback etc.

I did so because I was happy and genuinely satisfied - I understand and appreciate others may not be and hold a different opinion. I’m not attempting to contradict, question or make futile others opinions, whatever they might be.
They are entitled to them as I was/am - being in the happy camp

What's "hard earned credit", and why would you use it when you can just use normal credit? The point about normal credit is that you don't have to earn it until after you've borrowed it.
Jeez .... it’s a wasted stab at humour, trying to keep an element of lightheartedness here.

There was no ‘credit’ - it was all my ‘hard earned money‘ !

Calm down tigers. Tis nothing but the truth.
As mentioned, I’m over the moon but will admit - did look a tad fresher in the showroom

why do you use the name "jonny finance" then ?
A reasonable question. A nickname bestowed upon me many years ago. Started doing what I do at a young age
with friends and associates hooking on to the assumption that I was doing ok (and knew what I was doing.) I have nowt to do with finance and am distinctly adverse to it - whenever possible..
But ‘Jonny Finance’ does have a nice ring to it .

There is also a reason that many companies do. It’s called rehabilitation.

Amey, Balfour Beatty, Biffa, Costa, Co-Op, DHL, First direct, Gregg’s... the list goes on... all have public schemes to help ex convicts rehabilitated back into the world after prison.

Look at Timpsons 10% of their workforce are ex-convicts...

You have shown a very narrow minded view of someone I’m guessing you don’t even know! I don’t know him either I’m just offering my opinion from a real life interaction.

Have you bought a car off him or are you just jumping on the bandwagon of once a criminal always a criminal?
Steady Dan

Not another one - there is some parity brewing here. It won’t go down well.

And that’s exactly what it was. A coincidence
I didn’t realise he was getting a bashing on another thread. I became that happy customer last weekend and would of posted up earlier if I’d known 🤪
