i have just sold my dec 99 turbo to a dealer from www.turbocentr.co.uk. So what you ask?
the thing is i live in the north of scotland 600 miles away from him !. the car was on sale on the for sale section and he contacted me ,flew up into inverness airport and 30 minutes the deal was done with me getting the full asking price.the whole deal was done without the usual fault picking etc.not all dealers are out to rob us! i know he is going to make money on it but i am happy with the price i got.someone local to me missed out a prefect condition my 00 for a good price.
he works for the www.turdocentre.co.uk

He contacted me as well when I was selling. Offered me a grand less than my Scoobynet/Autotrader advert so I declined. Seemeed genuine though. Told me he was buying for Turbocentre and had the cash ready to buy. Luckily I sold mine for a couple hundred under asking price so didnt need to take him up. At least someone is buying the damn things.

Hi George
Thanks for calling to see if i made it back, it took me 8 hours but it was a good drive
You have some great roads up there
If anyone else is wanting to sell there car then please email me, I buy all the cars for http://www.turbocentre.co.uk and if you have anything interesting let me know!
I am fair about pricing, I am NOT out to shaft anyone, like i said to George, if you are happy with what you get for the car and i am happy with what i pay for it, then whats it matter whether i am trade or not?
Once again, thanks George, the car was exactly how you said it was!
Martyn

I bought a Renault 5 GT from Turbocentre a few years back when they had just about the best selection of 5's available in the UK
