Hexagon

[si.w]

Has anyone bought a car from Hexagon recently? I've done a search on here and saw some mixed reports - but mainly from a few years ago. Seems like there's been a fair bit of discussion about their prices being towards the upper end of the spectrum but I'm wondering whether the premium being added for buying from BMW main dealer would give peace of mind - if a car is from the dealer network I assume they've checked it out thoroughly - or is this being naive? The other thing with buying from them is not having to pay for the 12 month extended warranty (although I'm sure that's built into the price!).

I think what people are trying to say Simon,is that Hexagons cars are expensive even for a dealer.

hmmm. I'm looking to buy with longer term ownership in mind rather than having it for a year or so so am mentally justifying a higher purchase price to get a decent car but don't want to get my pants pulled down. I'll see what (if any) flexibility they've got in their pricing.

If a cars good, its good. Price sometimes has no reflection on this.

Didn't realise they had two in...

In short, yes they're at higher end and no, don't assume dealer car means issue free.

Going for the cheaper 04 car will give you more cover on the anti corrosion warranty (I think) but you've got a pimply arse (I prefer it clean, but that's just personal choice) and +5k miles.

All things being equal, I'd prob go for the older car with less miles if only £2k in it.....particularly if you are limiting your mileage.

Now everyone is going to get their arse cleaned up for the trip.
Wonder what they would ask for mine with 17K on the clock

They'd have to be asking late late 30's, maybe £40k?

I have kept an eye on Hexagon's ///M stock over the years, like-for-like they have continued to increase prices of the rarer models. There's a definite trend, look what's been happening to air cooled Porsche prices, same will happen to certain ///M cars, though on a lower trajectory.

It'd be nice if Elms sold CSLs, plenty of reassurance then in terms of how good the car had been prep'd.

Not all cars are the same buyer beware always have a good look at any car you buy even when a dealer is selling it

[shane@mbtech]

With a car as old as a CSL (10 years now), buy on condition alone, and IMO with a BMW warranty. Be it from private or dealer.

The likelihood of items failing is the same on any of them IMO, and just because you pay £5k more from a dealer does not mean it wont fail.

They do say there is no fool, like a fool with money

If you pay £5k more from a dealer, than you could buy private with a warranty, with the same miles, same condition, it just means that if you come to sell, you will be taking a £5k hit. You could not ask for £5k more come resale, just because it WAS bought from a dealer 12 months previous.

Thats my take anyhow.
