Morning All

Looking at buying a SLK. Have seen a lovely one at The Car shop Leicester. Has anybody bought from them?
All seems fine, but have been burnt before

My general impression of the Car shop which is based on the one in Doncaster are they have average cars which they sell above market price, however they do have the odd mint car in there. Never bought from them but visited several times when looking for SWMBO last car, eventually ended up buying a new one from the Volvo dealer for cheaper. My advice is do your research on similar cars advertised to get a price you are comfortable with paying. Also these places work on selling finance so play them at their own game haggle down the price of the car on the basis you will take finance then as they final nibble tell them the finance has to be capable of being paid off after the first installment with no penalty and pay it off, you win as you get the car at the price you want, they win because they get their commission on the finance I did this with SWMBO Racing Puma with Carcraft and got a stunning deal, good luck

Now that is clever advice - never thought of that myself. Thank you.
