Thanks for this so far everyone. My natural tendancy has always been to buy from a dealer but if I can find a good one privately and find its history etc. from you guys then I'm willing to give it a go! I suppose it makes sense 'cos the likes of TCS/Specialist cars only give 2/3 months warranty anyway so it would be cheaper to find a private one and get an RAC check?

Hi, Just trying to canvass opinion on buying a car from either TCS or Specialistcars? I've read one thread on here about TCS commenting on the fact the guy's just in it to make money on turning cars over asap etc. Which is all well and good but when I buy a car such as a Corrado I expect the dealer to be a specialist/enthusiast - someone whom I can contact if there are problems or I want advice etc. This doesn't necessarily seem the case with TCS? Their cars are usually around 2K cheaper than Specialist cars which is a lot but does the additional 2K get you a car from a dealer who picks his cars carefully, provides excellent back up service, is knowledgeable and willing to go the 'extra mile' with the after sales, 'cos if he is then that's who I'd rather buy from.... So, anyone had dealings with Specialistcars and willing to share their opinion(s)? Cheers, Adrian Previous owner of '91 G60 and '93 Dragon Green VR6 now wanting to get back behind the wheel!
