when we were looking to buy our first van (only last year) the guy from Perthshire tried spinning us all sorts of half-truths (about not much difference in level of winterisation etc) to get us to buy what they obviously wanted rid of. End result was we walked away and wouldn't trust them enough to go back.
They may be a family business but honesty is everything when you are spending that much money

Capital motorcaravans is where we got ours (and take it for service/mot/advice etc every year). I don't know if they would have a Bolero though as they are Explorer group
edit to add: I saw this thread on the 'new posts' bit and it wasn't until after I'd posted that I realised it was in a specific Swift thread. Apologies if it is irrelevant (but they do have used 'vans of all makes)
We bought our motorhome from PC in December last year. Got a trade in price a couple of grand higher than the market value on our van. Got the SE kit fitted free. List price on the new van.
There were a few initial dificulties with some minor points which they sorted on the spot when I took it back for advice. There followed the usual round of teething waranty issues which were all dealt with.
Having had the van a while now a couple of other warranty issues have appeared so we will see how they do this time and I'll post bac here.
Incidently as for aftersales (by that I presume you mean warranty work) You can have that done at any authorised Swift deaer. Does not have to be where you purchased it.
bought our first Swift Sundance 630L brand new from PC, they even picked Up our caravan from Hoddom castle in Annan, got a good trade in as well. The moorhome was a bit of a bugger due to the bad build quality a, however they always put things right. We got it serviced at MHS and they were quite good for servicing. We changed our Sundance in for a 2 year old Burstner Eleganze and got a cracking deal, staff are quite good, especially parts, so all in all I would recommend Perthshire caravans for a motorhome!
Recently on holiday in the Aberdeen area when our habitation water pump failed.
Dyce Caravans of Aberdeen got us back and running within a few hours.
A good company to deal with (unlike some others !).
Thanks to Ian and Alan.

I said I'd post back on how Perthshire Caravans faired with my warranty jobs this time. Well, three out of three failures.
The first was the old sink draining too slowly chestnut again - failed to improve.
The second was a faulty valve on the outside shower - one month on still no contact to say part arrived in stock. Why could they not just borrow one from one of their vans to get me sorted. -Fail
Thirdly, habitation would not run from the vehicle battery. Gave me some flannel about how it wasn't wired to do this as it would drain the vehicle battery flat. I asked Sargent on this very forum for advice and he pointed me right to the problem which i fixed in minutes. So failed again Perthshire Caravans.
To give them their due though I has a slight coming together with a Beemers wing mirror causing a 4" hole in the offside skin. They fixed this superbly so it's as good as new. Cost my insurers £300 and me my £200 excess though.
Hi i got my bessie from Knowepark and have had no problems with any work needing done i think every dealer has the same problem they are willing to fix things but cannot get the spares to do so therefore i would not hesitate to go again to Knowepark also they are not that far away to get things done you say they dont do the bolero my bessie is made by swift so why not the bolero ???? i am baffled JAKS
I,ve bought 2 vans from Perthshire Caravans and had excellent service on both occasions.Previous posters are correct John in the sales shop is superb, nothing is too much trouble for him.Shop is well stocked and prices are keen.
Knowepark so far, are quite simply excellent. No hard selling, I also got transparency and honesty with regards to the fiat problems before I parted with my final settlement (95% of the balance!), and everything was done to time, without a hitch. I got a massive discount on a brand new (well over 10%).
Since buying the motorhome, I have been back for the LPG installaton, alarm and immobiliser, and currently my Sat and TV is being installed. Have been given discounts on various parts due to the overall business wth them.
To be fair, not had to test them as everything has been great more or less.
