    I enquired about them before. Cars checked out, mostly high mileage cars, used to do ex fleet cars . They seem to have a high turnover of stock so suppose they just make small profit to move cars on. Around a good few years

    Is 100k on a 2001 car high enough? I'm not entirely sure what the norm is here...

    But they seem okay anyways yeah?

    yeah they seem to be.
    100k is 12k per year which is average enough.
    as usual check for service history and bring a mechanic

    Do I still have to bring a mechanic even though I'm buying from a dealer? And service history, what exactly do I ask here? Not used to buying!

    its always good to have someone with you that knows something about cars.
    Just ask dealer if they have a service history for the car

    The concensus on boards is that SIMI is of no real use when called upon tp help out. but i'm sure you could do a search for a Thread about them.
    Have you a link to the car your looking at.
    someone else recently posted (today/yesterday) a website that tells you what to ask when purchasing a used car.
    Can't stress enough about bringing a mechanic with you regardless of dealer you purchase from

    Defo not, what i have stated has been said here on a daily basis.
    Q's and nature of Q's possibly do sound suspicous now that you say it.

    Haha, jesus, not at all. Genuine questions here...just haven't bought before so maybe that's why it's coming across as a little strange. Plus I was asking should I be concerned about the company!

    I'll go rooting for that thread, thanks.
