I bought my car through them. Not a lot to say to be honest from a buyer perspective, very helpful and friendly although in truth they didn’t know an awful lot about Atoms technically but did have plenty of receipts and paperwork etc. The price was the clincher for me, after negotiation was well over 10% less than the equivalent used car direct from the factory (it was November and the car had been in their stock for a few months though), although the flip side is I didn’t have the confidence of a factory ‘signed off’ car, and he even refused to fill the tank up! I think margins are tight, but as a result everyone wins to a degree. I got lucky as iv since had the car checked and all is well.
It’s a fantastic dealership though with some weird and wonderful cars for sale, I regularly go on the website just to see what the latest strange stock is. Hence why they often stock Atoms.
Id say if the price they are offering is satisfactory to what you want then I see no reason based on my experience to not do it.
However I would also recommend putting a ‘for sale’ thread up on this forum with the details of your car etc, as buyers often frequent here whilst looking for a car. You never know you may get lucky
