Thanks for letting me know, i have done a bit of research and also found sapphire autos in Ruislip...thy seem to have a good rep.Welcome to the forum Chris.
Lovely car and a great choice.
You also have a great MB indy nearby in Wayne Gates in Harrow.
it was private. I was looking for like 6-8 months, as i like low mileage cars, so that i can then keep them for longer.Welcome and it looks great!
Was it a private purchase? Or through a dealer?

Do you find it risky though? I'm always a little apprehensive about buying a more expensive car just in case there is something wrong with it and the owner is being a little unscrupulous. My friend once bought a Subaru Impreza with an engine problem the engine was knocking, and the guy had filled it with the thickest oil he could find. It was fine on the test drive, but by the time he got home it was knocking like crazy and he found out it needed a new engine... expensive lesson learnt!it was private.

Sure it is risky, but at the end of the day you have to go with your gut, i saw a few where once i met the owner i was already put off, so i gave those a wide berth, this one, the owner was a decent chap, had a full service history from merc, and was only 4 years old, so chances of there being anything major wrong with it was slim (in my opinion). I did the standard AA car check and it came with an extended warranty which was transferred to me and the owner was quick to point out the minor faults with the car himself i.e stone chips, interior scuffing etc I'm no mechanic, but i can tell when there are potential problems with the car, and i managed to get under it have a look and he took me for a long test drive (and let me drive it) so i could get a feel for the car. Price was right, covered until 2019 with the extended warranty and the bloke was decent, so i took the chance. Had it serviced by Merc Watford when i got it as it was due the 'B' service and they were impressed with the condition of the car, the only thing they found wrong was oil was a bit low, other than that it was all good.Do you find it risky though?
