I saw the comment about 'If Volvo nerd don't waste my time blah blah'. Can't believe the guy is still trying to put t this car and is lying. Some hipster will buy this after watching Luther and want a 'cool' Volvo car, unknowingly it's junk on wheels... The garage itself reminds me of a garage in Fife who clearly sell cars with questionable history. I found out they buy cars which have been in bad accidents (not sure if written off) repair them (quality is poor) and then sell them on to the unscrupulous. Some of their listings do say 'minor damage repair'... Shame these places don't get shut down for good and owners do lengthy jail time. Playing with people's lives. |

years ago i got a on train to see a car described as good. It had been damaged in the front and the whole thing didnt seem right. The salesman was slimey sod bull*****er so i went for a test drive having to listen to more bull, the car was definatly wrong, on returning to the forecourt i bumped it along the side of another car pretending my foot fell off the clutch. Whilst waking back to the station i passed a forecourt with an almost identical car that was able to negotiate a deal, wait a couple of hours while they sorted it out and drove it home.

Cars and Vans
101a Longford Road Coventry CV66DY I can't get over the fact the prime market for this car would be a "Volvo Nerd" but the seller is actively discouraging them from applying to buy it! It's at times like this i wish i worked for Trading Standards and could walk in there as the "average man on the street looking for a car" and already had a team ready to swoop and impound every vehicle on their forecourt until it was inspected and arrest them on sight on suspicion of whatever was most dangerous and most likely to stick!

This was years ago. Not sure if it's still there, but way across Lochgelly area. Just looking at Gerry's listings reminded me of said garage.

I pity the poor sod that buys the 500 Abarth off them, those (in my oppinion as I am in the trade) are a gamble at the best of times...

Having seen some of their history online Ross, i pity any poor sod that buys any product from them! Including, but not limited to, unicycles, wheelbarrows, prams, granny shopping trolleys, bicycles, tricycles, lawnmowers!

Cheers

A highly impractical idea but one that has certain smile-making merits, a load of us turn up in our Volvos and just start driving round the place in a big loop, lapping it so to speak continuously preventing any poor unsuspecting victim from buying anything from the place!
