Peterborough dealer

[NDFR]

Hi everyone a friend of mine is looking for a C320 CDI and has come across this one.

https://www.vcars.co.uk/used-cars/cardetails.php?t=ukwebsites&u=196922

Is anyone here familiar with the dealer?

I welcome any comments on the vehicle. I have agreed to take him to view on Saturday and he will travel with the cash to buy if suitable.

Thanks.

I'll ask around - see if anyone knows anything. It's on the southbound A1 in an old petrol station opposite the entrance to RAF Wittering, so if you're coming up the A1 from the south you need to go past it and come off at Stamford to head south.

Have you noticed that the reviewers' names all seem to follow the same template as if someone is creating lots and lots of positive reviews.

I would treat those reviews with a pinch of salt. After all, why would everyone who buys from this dealer give 5 stars. Surely some would give 4 or 3 stars, and some would definitely give 2 or 1 star for poor service.

Even the most sincere dealer would attract negative criticism.

I drive past this garage every fortnight or so, and I don't think they have been trading that long. i seem to remember another car traders name less than a year ago

Didn't they used to flog motorhomes IIRC?

I live a few miles away.

The site seems to have a newly branded dealer there about annually.

If the car is sound then maybe take out a third party warranty, or cross your fingers, in case they arent there soon after.

Thanks to you all for the input.
