I was looking at a BMW estate. The Auto Trader ad seemed very promising - high spec car, reasonable mileage, lots of warranty, so I called them in the morning to arrange a visit that afternoon. Travelled from Liverpool to see the car. When I arrived, the car was in a garage next door on a ramp, having an injector fitted. The mechanics weren't going to take the car off the ramp for me to look at (not that the first impression left me wanting to touch the car with a barge pole). The salesman then proceeded to take me to his office to discuss terms - valued my trade-in Merc slk at 3000 out of the book and proceeded to offer me £2000 for it. Shame I can't mark these shysters out of 5 for cheek ;-) In short, if you're not local - be wary.
