hi thanks for taking the time to show me all your suggestions.........unfortunatey i telephoned north western caravans early yesterday morning to enquire if the motorhome that you have kindly suggested was still for sale etc,as this was ideal. i was told by a chap called alan that it definately was for sale, it was a part exchange bargain, and was priced at £5995 . so i told them that i was coming to look /purchase it straight away and was leaving nottingham within the hour and he said he would get every thing ready for me and would not show anyone else in the mean time, and took all my details including mobile number..............so me and the mrs along with our youngest son set off for macclesfield just out side manchester, about a 70 mile trip.
when we got there we was greeted by the manager who told us that alan the chap who i spoken to earler had nipped out, and that the talbot autohomes highlander that i had come all the way to see was actually sold, and had been sold since last thursday to a couple from ireland who had not picked it up yet, and alan who had told us that it was still for sale had made a mistake.
we was completely gob smacked and very very dissapointed, we was made to travel all that way for absolutely nothing, and was told that they was just about to phone me when i came through the gates!!!asolutely terrible service.............i was fumming but coudnt do anything..........thank you for you other two suggestions but these two are out of our budget as £ 7500 is our absolute maximum.
thanks once again.

I am so sorry I gave you a duff lead, I used Pammys PC, it was given with the very best intentions, I will make apoint of giving North western a peice of my mind, and a sour report in our feed back system, the one advertised on pre loved is also a trader and being in the trade myself know only too well, any deal this time of year is a good deal. give them a call and offer your maximum cash no part exchange if the vehicle is suitable,subject to viewing, point out if £7500 wont buy it, there is no point coming, dont be shy he may be glad of your call, I would even be tempted to make a silly offer on the other one too, you have nothing to loose and every thing to gain, there is one out there for you
Regards Geo
Pammy,s other half
PS if I can be of any help, Ill even call them for you to sound them out if your a bit unsure of hagging

hi geo,
i want to say a very big thank you for your advice and kind offer of phoneing on my behalf which is very much appreciated.
i will take your advice and enquire over the phone weather it is worth coming to see both of the motorhomes with £7.5k in my pocket, and like you have said....if its a no, its a no..... ive got nothing to loose!!

thanks once again.

ps, if you come accross any more i would appreciate you letting me know.
