Default Dicksons of Dunblane

Anyone have any opinions on this dealership? I have a mate looking for an Integra Type R and they seem to have plenty in stock.

er, no they dont. You need to phone and ask what they have in stock first. We went down there and they had exactly NONE for sale.

All they had there was their shabby looking demonstrator and one that had been sold, but had not been prepped. They advertise loads, but most are long gone or are not here yet.

Their attitiude isnt exactly the best either. They know these cars sell themselves, so they dont really make much of an effort with you.

They showed us pictures of one they had bought at auction that week and said "if you want it, you'll have to buy it today".

They also wont let you test drive the one you want. Think thats what the demo is for.

As a result of all that, we went elsewhere and have one due in about a month

From what i've seen of the stock it also seems to be a bit on the expensive side.

Plenty of other dealers bringing in DC5's so worth looking around

They never replied to any emails I sent or returned any calls regarding a DC5 or a scoob so I gave up wasting my time and went elsewhere in the end.

All I have ever heard is negative press about these guys.

They seem to look down on everyone and dont give test drives.

If you go over to the DC5 owners club there are some good ones for sale there...
