Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 22:32 Post subject: Strictly Pajeros...? (and hello!) |
|
|
Hi, I've been lurking for a while
I have gone from idle dreaming to serious dreaming to considering to teetering on the edge of deciding to seriously look for a Pajero - pref 2.8 lwb - and I was just wondering whether anyone had had any experience of Strictly Pajeros, he advertises on Autotrader, but I can't find an independent website. All I know is he's 174 miles away so I don't really want to embark on a 3h journey only to discover it's a wasted trip iykwim?
Any advice/views greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark |

Without trying to blacken their name or character, or making slanderous remarks etc, I personally remember reading a few posts and also chatting in the chatroom more recently, where that trading name has cropped up......... and maybe you should look around a bit more |

Thanks, fellas
I suspected as much, tbh - after posting I did some more digging and found he had another car on autotrader, using a very similar name to the one I quoted... and I'd seen a thread earlier on here about the place - I think it's yours, Roy... Shame, because the car I was interested in looks good...
Appreciate the heads-up - hope you get it sorted out to your satisfaction, Roy.
And all being well I will see you both again on these boards, as an owner of a decent Paj

If you're on the lookout, there's another in Stirling to be wary of
There's been a lot of negative posts about them too
Won't mention the name but have a wee search though this section and you'll find it |

Try the classified ads on here sure someone was selling a 2.8 lwb blue silver the other week.I bought mine from a reputable dealer but i think if i was buying another i would go private, as you can pick them up a lot cheaper knowing now what to look for |

Thanks, guys
A combination of my extensive lurking and background reading and my needs (wants?!), I'm after a 2.8 LWB...
...yeah, I prob should go private but I have this silly notion that I'm not as likely to get stung if I go to a dealer |

That's why I previously suggested that he/she should drop Nick Dudley a PM......... Nicks 2.8 LWB is a beauty.
As for dealers , what is their warranty/guarantee actually worth? If you travel a lot of miles to buy one, and something goes wrong within the warranty/guarantee period, they would want you to bring it back to them, (at your own cost), and when you look into it, it is just so they can bodge the repair job as cheaply as possible (trade price spares, their own labour etc). The loaded extra price that you pay when buying from a dealer, is not worth it, when buying any car aged over 10 years, maybe even less than 10 years. You are better off buying the right motor privately, at a price that is acceptable to you, keeping the difference between private and dealer in your pocket, to cover any unforseen circumstances, if they happen to occur. |

Was In Bolton Today on maneuvers
I had read up about STRICTLY PAJEROS and now using CARS 2 GO LTD also!
Thought what hell will have a look while I am here!
Rang up and the bloke was cagey about giving his exact location??? (more on that in min!)
He told me postcode and said he would tell me where they were when I got to the trading estate!
I found place but couldn`t see any cars so had to ring him! He directed me to round a few corners to what looked like a Pajero scrapyard (now the reason for not telling me?? I would have drove off ha-ha!)
Got out and he was busy with jump leads on a lwb for some victim/customer on way???
He pointed to 3 sad looking swb and said prices but wasn`t really listening at this point
they were the most tired looking examples I have come accross, and he had a few more lwb looking equally as bad!
In a fenced off area there were several donor vehicles in various states of distress!
I said sorry mate they not for me? he said ok and caried on with his open heart surgery on lwb!
Bottom line I wouldn`t bother unless you nearby and wan`t a laugh! |

that would be prestwich ind estate in atherton then, used to be bulloughs nut and bolt works.
why does no one want to tell anyone where the chancers work from? been to the place for another member on here and the cars you saw have been there for an absolute age. the bloke actually lives in leigh.
(did get told the other day that he has been getting nocturnal visitors looking for parts)lol.
anyone who does talk to him shouls also report him to autotrader as they don't seem to mind allowing scam artists and chancers using their site to take folks hard earned off em |

It certainly unreal never seen such a scrapyard ha-ha!
Tell you what though if I had drove xxx miles and got there to find what greets you! I would lets say be a tad unhappy ha-ha!
What makes me laugh is the descriptions in autotrader make the cars sound so desirable? He should have been a story teller or a Politician ha-ha!
Wants a big Sticky so any members don`t go there really?
I was lucky was just in area anyhow, and just killing time while Wife was visiting friends |
