Hi

I went to GLC Swansea to look at some Delica's.
I spoke to a young bloke there, who to be honest in my (opinion) wasan't very friendly or helpful at all and wanted to do a mechnical inspection on my pajero before I could part exchange it in. I think he wanted to get it on a ramp to inspect it?!?

Please note -
Of course this is just my Opinion.

Hope that helps.

I went to GLC to look at a very nice Bongo. They wanted silly money though so I walked. In summary, too expensive and not very firendly.

Capels cars are not the best. Quite cheap but the lower end of the market in terms of condition. They had loads of Deli's when I went a couple of years ago but they were all pretty tatty. Not recommended.

I looked at Bristol Import Centre but again, couldn't find anything I liked. Prices were okay.

There was a little garage in Caerphilly who only has a couple of cars but they are good'uns and his prices are okay. Can't remember his name though.

Thanks for the feedback - very helpful to know. Have found another dealer in South Wles - 'Showroom Wales' in Skewen - cheaper prices than GLC and has some coming in next week so will take a look then. Any experience of them? Many thanks!

Hi

I have been to showroom wales to have a look at a Pajero Lwb, the guy who owned it seemed honest enough.
But I didn't buy anything off him so it's difficult to tell to for sure.
Be sure to ask him what he cover's in his warranty.

Good Luck!

Bough a pajero and later my Deli from Capels about 3 years ago, service good and warranty proved good when pajero needed auto box rebuild (900quids worth) so no complaints. But as srh pointed out the quality of their vehicles has gone down hill, but maybe worth a look as he may have something tidy there.....ROB

Got my facelift Deli from Capels in sept and its in realy good nick and up until now had no problems. They told me they are just going to import new shape delis from now on and as they own the model report and don't have to rent one for the sva they should be cheaper than most other importers.
Cheers Dave.
