I read somewhere that ALEGEDLY the OFT had issue with number of Stratstone dealers in the Aylesbury, Dunstable, Milton Keynes area. Obviously this is from a 'competition' perspective to allow customers to have fair pricing. I guess they sold to keep the OFT happy perhaps? TDV8 HSE in Java/Ebony with Zebrano Wood, RSE, Hybrid TV, and a few other bells and whistles.

Wow.

The same post three times. Is this a new record?








Talk about trying to over inflate your post count.  Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

I know someone, who is Chairman of Perrys Luton....He emailed me the other day:-

"We bought the business in December last year from Pendragon who trade as Stratstone. They had to sell the business as a result of acquiring the Reg Vardy Group, the DTI said they had too many Land Rover business's in the area and one had to go. It's a good opportunity for us, we have two other Land Rover businesses in Yorkshire and they do very well"

He has promised that one of his guys who will look after me on my next visit to the dealership. Nice chap.

Will keep you updated.

Last Monday I went to Perrys Dunstable, and test drove a new TDV8. Very nice motor, and improved brakes and suspension. A lot better than my old TDV8.

The sales guy, called Matt, is superb, gave me a good hospitality during my time there. not pushy, very helpful and doesnt have the demeanour of your usual sickly car salesman

Just a heads up to you guys, as you maybe aware the former Stratstone Dealership has changed hands as is now under the management of Perrys Motor Group.

The line up of staff is the same, and if you received bad service prior then unfortunately you can gauruntee no improvement on that front, and with the current change over, the moral amongst employees is at an all time low, and very little motivation is present.

If you enter the dealership, then you will notice its lack of atmosphere and sparce appearance, Perrys have unfortunately not taken over the business in a smooth manner, no thought or planning has been used, and there are currently no computer systems in operation.

I can't forsee a bright horizon for Land Rover in Luton, and would recommend the far more exclusive dealerships in either Milton Keynes or Aylesbury.

Welcome KenRRS

Some of us know, that at times, you chaps are the meat in the sandwich, so to speak.

It will be good to hear the other side of the story....pity an Australian dealer principal is not on here as well !

I bought my D3 from Stratstones in Luton and have to say the whole process was nice & easy. I hope Perry's continue in the same way. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.
