Anyway you'd better buy it, might get a discount Monday when I am down at Simpsons
I'm sure you get good enough discount from them anyway!

We would only sell a car out of our garage that we went through with a fine tooth comb, its not worth the hassle otherwise

As Shimmy says, if you are not entirely happy, dont buy it just because it might be the cheapest CSL out there.

Im sure it will be fine though.
I know exactly what your saying, and I realise that they wouldn't put their reputation on the line for the sake of a few thousand pounds and a load of grief, but I would hate to look back on the purchase and regret it because I didn't do the right checks.

To be honest it's not to see if they are pulling the wool over my eye's because I know they are a genuine bunch of guys, it's more so I can assess the value. If it's never had anything major done to it then I'd be less prepared to pay £xxxxx than if it had a few major items replaced already...

As for buying with my heart, i'll have to see. I don't think the car is fully prepped yet and it looks like it's going to be a miserable day tomorrow so it wont be as easy to fall for as going to see one that's freshly detailed on a bright sunny day.

But we shall see
