Very nice. A proper show no one car...

Great profile pic!

Yeah, they're currently under investigation by trading standards (according to a review I read). I hope he sees this before finalising the deal if he's already negotiating. Would hate to see him commit without knowing this, even if he does go ahead and decides to buy.

I would walk away mate. I looked at this as well (haven't been to view). Recognised the company name as it's 10 mins from me and they have a shocking rep! The company is TopClass Car Sales in Barrhead. I'll let you do the search yourself and make your own decision but something to consider. Hope...

Aye like 10 minutes away haha! How have u found the reliability, running cost and maintenance over the 4 cars? Have some been much better than others?

Did you buy yours off someone on here Danny?

I'm just outside Glasgow in Paisley. Where are u mate? Did it take u a while to find the right car? It's just convincing someone to take the 8-9 hour round trip and possibly coming back empty handed. I've seen a few for under £2k but it's just finding the right one. I'd hate to jump on one for...
