They've got what looks like quite a nice SWB that im quite interested in, but with them being about 130 miles away thought i'd ask to see if anyone knows if theyve got a good rep or not?
cheers, paul. |

Price seems a bit steep to me... look closly and it looks like the arches and bumper corners are scratched and the rear n/s bumper is misaligned... also has holes in the dash...
Plenty about at the moment and if you pay top money then be picky.....
Good Luck |

I went to have a look when I was looking for mine. It's a bit of a back street garage on a small industrial estate, gave me the impression of a crash repair shop, dark and dirty. They had quite a few 4x4s in, none of them were as good as they looked on the photos (and I told him so). Rough looking, as if they'd seen plenty of off-road use, filthy interiors spring to mind as if they'd been through deep water. Over priced, and boss wasn't there to be able to talk about a deal. I walked away, felt like my time had been wasted to be honest, there's loads more around in better condition for less money.
That one doesn't look bad compared to what he had in when I looked (might still have them), bit it does look a bit expensive (I'd say at least a grand too dear). |

Just used the zoom feature and had a close look, you can also see the carpet on the drivers side is real dirty at the edge under the mats...
Don't get impatient... take your time... it's your for a long time.... persoanlly I'd get one from a private seller, check it over well, ask for it to be cold when you go to look at it, to test the pump seals... be very picky and give it a real good look over, most people are scared to ask the right questions and test the car properly... it's your money... spend it wisely...
Good Luck and have fun finding one... |

I would not buy a Paj from any-one who calls it a 4x4.

bit of an update...seen this on THAT site 290399107851 what do you guys think of that looks pretty mint, altho think the glow plug ecu's gone cos looks like theres a manual button on the dash, but apart from that looks pretty good...was thinking of putting a bid on, what do you think? |

Looks like a clean motor... three bumper end caps have a scrape, but apart from that it looks very clean... mind you it does look like people are getting carried away with the price, that is real top top money for it... but I suppose the good ones will always fetch good money...
Have a bid, but decide what you want to spend and bid that amount with 20secs to go.... don't get drawn into bidding earlier.. if you get it, you get it, if you don't there will be another along soon...
Also if/when you pick it up make sure to check it all over very well, the seller is a dealer and he hasn't said anything bad about it but I expect there will be something... make sure you give it a good test drive at all speeds and if you don't know much about cars workings then take someone who does.... he can't leave a buyer negative feedback anymore so even if you win it you can walk away if it's not as described... And certainly don't pay any deposit before you go to look at it...
Good Luck |

All I can say is there an ok bunch of lads, and dont judge a book by its cover, yes its a dodgy looking place and Barrie the owner looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp but he ok really. The guy that showed me roung the shogun I was looking at was really good, he had owned shoguns and pajero's and knew them inside out. They had some really nice motors in when I visited and I bought the Shogun and got £250 off it. I reckon there pretty genuine and I came away happy with what I bought. |
