Perrys Motor Sales

Alfa Romeo, sexy, yes, fallible, maybe. Not this dealer though.
Everyone should own an Alfa Romeo they say. So I thought, flush with the thought of a decent car allowance, let’s see if its true.
I have to admit, buying a used Alfa can be somewhat disheartening. Having decided on the largest one you can get (I like soft suspension, so the smaller ones banged my bum too much) I scoured all the ads and saw several that were sadly much neglected. Some Alfas shed their value fast, so I guess they end up in the hands of people who want the image but can’t afford to look after it, so to speak.
Finally, I found Perrys. The car made me go weak at the knees and, except for the odd blemish, immaculate.
Price agreed, I waited to see how many of the blemishes were fixed when I came to collect it.
Attention to detail, not usually what I expect to see from a main dealer, but Perrys (or, presumably their bodywork chap) had it. Not only did I get an immaculate, sexy Alfa, but one that actually looked and worked well 10 inches away from it as well as 10 feet away.
:-(3 weeks later, oil leak. It smells inside, I’m thinking £n, 000 down the drain. But no, I was warrantied to the hilt and despite the huge amount of labour to get it fixed (over £1,700), fixed it was, and properly.
5 years on and I’m still happy. OK, so I recently sold the car due to change of circumstances, but I really, really, really miss it.
Perrys, thanks for the experience.
