Best dealer visit yet.

Chuffed to actual bits, honestly. Got new tyres fitted for $340 and they've lasted way longer than the last set.

Trade-in appt was clean.

$2,100 bodywork and I drove it off the lot the same afternoon, didn't think that was possible.

Marco knows his stuff.

Lior let me take it on the motorway for the test drive which was a nice touch. Honestly the smoothest car buy I've ever done.

Finally.

mid-November test drive turned into me buying the thing, didn't even plan it. Lior let me take it on the motorway for the test drive which was a nice touch. Trade-in came in at $4,900 which was honestly better than the two quotes I got elsewhere.

Love it.

Trade-in came in at $4,900 which was honestly better than the two quotes I got elsewhere. Sal walked me through alot of the options and never once made me feel dumb for asking. The brake service was done quicker than they quoted and the price matched the estimate exactly.

Smooth and honest.

The 10k service was $89 and they topped up the washer fluid, dont see that often. Chuffed to actual bits, honestly.

Nope.

Scam. Rosa smiled through the whole pitch and then disappeared when the gearbox started whining on the way home. They told me the car passed inspection and the mechanic I took it to found alot of rust under the sill.

Sketchy at best

A mid-November drive turned into three hours of pressure selling for a car that wasn't the one I came to see. Still waiting on the callback the sales guy promised two weeks ago. The paint on the bonnet started bubbling two weeks after I drove it off the lot.

Burned on the trade-in

the list price turned into £24.3k by the time Imani finished adding floor mats and gap insurance i never asked for. Took it in for the brake check and they handed me back a quote for tyres i didn't need.

The paint on the bonnet started bubbling two weeks after I drove it off the lot. Fine, if you enjoy being lied to about milage. Imani hid the second key behind a $150 'processing' fee that was never on the quote.
