Default Wanted - A good nose around an Amazon

Hi All,

Looking to buy my first Amazon but would like a good nose around a car first without the hassle of an eager seller breathing down my neck.

Someone who could answer some dumb questions too would be a bonus.

So if you have an Amazon (doesn't matter which model) and are in the Cheshire area (or Derby where I work) and have some free time to chew the cud over your pride an joy I would very much appreciate your time.

PM me if you can help.

Biscuits can be supplied or an ice cream if its a nice day

Many thanks,

Mike.

Hi Mike, a tempting offer but I am in North London, maybe a bit far away for you. I am sure someone will step up.

Great cars and I am sure I saw a buyers guide somewhere, although I may have imagined that.

If you fancy a run down to Droitwich you're welcome to have a nose around mine, one of which is on the road in reasonable nick, and one which isn't.
Regards
Andy.

Might just take you up on that Andy, not too far and I might be down Coventry way soon so not much of a detour in the scheme of things.

Will be in touch if I can work it in.

Much appreciated.

Mike.

I live in Beeston (just outside Nottingham).

You're welcome to come 'round one day and have a look at my Amazon... always happy to talk about cars!

Won't be available for a week or two though as my car is currently in the bodyshop.

Hi Mike (great name by the way!),

I'm regularly over Castle Donnington way so maybe take you up on the offer when your car is back.

Many thanks.

Mike.

Don't know if you've managed to get your questions answered, but if you are in the Coventry area, I'm only a few minutes down the road and would be happy to have a chat.

Many thanks Ric, appreciate the offer.

Been snowed under with family stuff lately so not got my head around cars at the moment.

Your name is on the contact list for future (hopefully near future rather than far!)

Regards,

Mike.
