Anyone know these?

Post by volkscraft » Tue Nov 23, 2010 10:11 pm

Firstly Anyone know anything about the Mugello Blue one at Pete Smith Cars Coleford:

Also the one that was previously at motoring legends Southampton, Now seems to be in Lincoln with Car solutions.

As you can probably guess I'm looking for a Dark Coloured avant with black leather.

The Mugello Blue with the low mileage is attractive. Driver's seat looks a bit worn on the RH bolster...

I went down and inspected the one at Pete smith's today . Not a bad car but it does need a few ££££ to get it right .

The car solutions one say's one owner, but it's had atleast 3 in Northern Island?
Aparently these don't show up on our dvla owners list. It was up for £19.995 2 months ago and the seller from southampton was really pushing me to buy it.

Said the same to me. I was a bit suspicious of them to be honest, they offered it with a '5 Star Warranty'. I looked in to it a bit and found the warranty company only do that for vehicles up to 5 years old..... I sent an email asking weather it would pay out in the unusual instance the gearbox failed, I didn't get a reply.
I was hoping customer service may be a bit more impressive when 16k is involved. Obviously not.

I was put off by some strange answers to some of my questions. Shame cause it does look like a nice motor. If it was closer to me to begin with i would have gone to have a look instead of e-mailing.
Fair play to the guy for telling us about the owners though, can't knock him for that!!
I've tried getting in touch with the person selling the Daytona avant in Gloucester for £19k but with no joy.

Just spoke to car solutions on the phone, He is taking delivery of the Daytona one tonight. He knows nothing about the Northern ireland owners, but should know more tomorrow when he gets the paperwork.
Chunky79 How far are they from you? Are you going to have a look or have you been put off with answers that ring alarm bells?

I've ruled that one out. Something just doesn't seem right to me. BUT, that doesn't mean there is anything up with it.
Could be a fantastic price, even though car solutions have had it up at 2 different prices???
