Having visited several second-hand car dealers in the vicinity and others online, I was not overly impressed, but persevered searching. I found IngramCars online more or less by co-incidence at a fairly late stage. I am delighted I did!
Simon Ingram was knowledgeable, unassuming and came across as an honest person rather than somebody who just wanted to strike the most advantageous deal for himself. He fairly pointed out some minor defects that I was also aware of but equally praised the way I had looked after my fairly venerable Skoda Superb Elegance, which, for its age, had a lowish mileage. He said that its condition warranted a price above the average, made an offer I was happy with and we agreed on a sale there and then.
The whole process was pleasant, civilised and quite refreshing. My next contact with him is likely to buy a car to replace the one I sold!
