Re: Mangoletsi

Mangoletsi is an excellent dealership but why aren't there more like it and nearer than Knutsford [it's not really even in Knutsford!]

Re: Mangoletsi

DA we used to have three dealerships in the NW Caledonia in Warrington and Preston both sh!te IMO and Mango's.

Last year ARUK stripped a lot of dealers of their franchises because they where so poor.

The dealership network is a bit thinner because they are now looking for Quality of service that's why Mango's survived

Thanks for posting why not join us at our next meet

We always welcome a new face

Re: Mangoletsi

used to be 3 caledonia's - preston, warrington & manchester, reg vardy in stockport, lythgoe in rochdale and i believe there was one in bolton as well.

now just mango's. perfect example of survival of the fittest. the others were evidently rubbish. caledonia (from personal experience) were sh*te.

Re: Mangoletsi

You could have a point there Ghosty

Service reminder from Mango's 1st class post on decent paper offer of MOT which is due up soon and a nice brochure

Leaders my Punto dealer a crappy 2nd class smudged letter

If I buy a 500 Abarth it won't be from Leaders
