I was just wondering if anyone had any dealings with Oakleigh Garage in Chesham?
They have a high mileage but mint cruiser in and I was thinking of taking a trip down to see it. As I live in NE Scotland it will be a a case of a few days away from home to view it. What i wanted to know was whether they were a reasonably trustworthy car dealer (as far as car dealers go!!) The guy seems to have been pretty honest with me but I didn't want to set out to go and see it to be presented with a rough old nail.
Any help will be greatly received
Thanks in advance _________________ I'm an amnesic bolaemic with a slow metabolism and a fast pie arm. |

The one I'm looking at is the white one with Yak in the registration. Eddie Taro from HPOC is popping down for me tomorrow to give me a heads up on its condition. Thanks for the offer anyway. ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) _________________ I'm an amnesic bolaemic with a slow metabolism and a fast pie arm. |

Well my mate went to Oakleigh Garage to look at a white Landcruiser for me. Now the salesman told me the truck was mint inside and out with not a spot of rust and damn near mechanically perfect. Mmm not bad for a 200K motor I thought.
My mate got there and was on the phone within minutes. Transmission leaks, both front swivels are goosed and pishing oil out, oil leak from engine, rot all over the tailgate, scratches everywhere. The only decent bit on the car is the nice interior so he says. Needless to say its not worth the £5.5K they are asking for it so wont be going for that one.
He does have another white one with lower mileage for £6.5K in a lot better knick but that one is way out of my budget so I'm still looking ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ I'm an amnesic bolaemic with a slow metabolism and a fast pie arm. |

Hi everyone I've just joined. I've always wanted an Amazon especially the TD version. They're just an honest beast of a car I like the shape of the earlier 1990- 2000 models. Plus now its about all I could afford
I'm looking for a mechanically sound Amazon to be used during the family holidays / weekends and seen an advert on Auto trader for a Landcrusier VX Turbo 1994 (Green) Reg L19 PDW at the Oakleigh Garage. I was wondering if anyone here knows the car or even can recommend or offer an alternative. I am concerned it has to be mechanically sound. Bad enough having the kids asking me if we're there yet but I don't want to be on stressed about a car throwing a tantrum too
Thanks in advance for any information.
