Don't necessarily see a problem here. Better than private seller or dealer trying to cover up faults with cheap bodges etc. Buyer beware - you always need to know what you are looking at wherever you are buying from.

+1. We bought our SV from them a couple of years back. No probs with test riding. Haggled the price down a bit but, yes, still probably paid high, but it is a dealer and we were wanting to buy quick, could afford to pay above rock bottom and the variety on offer was useful. Had no real problem with it since. Having said that, the pre-pick up prep wasn't top notch and so I wouldn't trust their servicing.
