I don't know anything about them personally.

However, they are situated between the two roughest estates in Basildon.

Make of that what you will.

Well the car they have has a full md history and post variator however the guy on other end of the blower sounded like he didnt want to sell the car.

I've always thought the the only thing better than a QPV would be an AWD QPV.

And in the pics it looks Black, not Grey.

Longmans had X99DLH for sale in August last year at 48,616 miles and £27,995, so it looks like it has just been sitting there for 9 months and is £5k cheaper.

If MDs confirm no bug work was ever done, might be a gd deal!

Not sure why some dealers hold on to massively depreciating cars for so long. However cheap they bought it for surely they must be dropping a bit of cash now.

4WD did give me concern but suspected much if that info was pulled by an automated database somewhere.
Yeah, not sure how that would come from an automated database.
But my QP was advertised as being with heated seats (from an automated database) so the dealer ended up having to pay to put them in.
Maybe you should buy it quickly and then demand a 4WD upgrade.

Well, they felt they could not accept your offer of £6,500 for it. :p

I also don't understand why they don't take the trouble to describe the car accurately, and in a positive way, especially after all this time. The copy on the website is not exactly enticing, and also inaccurate. It makes a bit more sense if one of the directors is also enjoying the car and putting 5,000 miles a year on in, but if it is just sitting there waiting to go, surely a bit of effort makes sense.

Probably because 9 out of 10 car dealers are thick and have a mentality of horse salesmen.... unfortunately that has been my experience to date. You are spot on, it would take someone 10 min to correctly describe what they are selling but clearly they do not get it or cannot be bothered, eitherway they are not selling themselves very well....
