Lookers Renault Stockport - Avoid their Ex-demos

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Damaged car, never advised when purchasing!

I bought a Renault Clio 172 Cup from Lookers Renault in April 2004. The car was an ex-demonstrator, I had an incident with the car where I needed some repair work done to one of the wings...whereon I was advised by the bodyshop that some 'touch-up' paint had been used to cover damage! I was horrified, and it turned out that the car had been involved in some form of impact, and not repaired properly. I was absolutely mortified that I'd paid £12,500 ...
...a poor standard. The even more mortifying thing was that there was a Renault Megane 225 which had been front-ended and this would have been repaired in-house, and therefore not declared on the HPI reports for that car, just like it wasn't for mine. I would never purchase another car from them due to my experiences...I went to a dealer as I thought that would be the best to go to a Renault dealer rather than private or through a backstreet dealer. ...

Review of Stockport Renault Car Dealer

WESTAWAY MOTORS

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: To many to go into

Westaway Motors are main dealers for Ford, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Subaru, Isusu, Dhaiatsu and KIA. On the surface the company appears to be a normal, bog standard, run of the mill, no frills car shop. If you are unfortunate to fall for their veneer of respectability you could end up buying one of their 'approved second hand range' that turns out to have 'serious previous damage' and upon being in collision with a mouse is made a catagory D and ...
...been 'thouroughly inspected' and was 'in excellent condition for its age and mileage' this customer believes Westaway Motors to be either miss selling cars or incompetent. Dealing with this company has been like stepping into the excrement of a diseased dog. Truely vile and something you would not want to do again. check out www.usedcarfromhell.co.uk ...

Review of Ford

Thought I was buying a NEW CAR not a demo model !

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: ????

...ordered a New Clio with Arnold Clark at the beginning of July. The sales people are very pushy and we should have walked away before signing the contract and found another Renault Dealer at that point ........ ! I will learn from my mistakes. They tried to push us into buying a second-hand car, but I stood my round and ordered a new one in the new pistachio colour, they continued to try and push us away from buying the new car in the specific colour ...
...finally got a call from Arnold Clark on the 20th October letting us know that our new car was ready for collection. Due to financial commitments we could not collect the car till the 28th October, and Arnold Clark were very happy with this as it gave them time to sort out our new car ready for us to collect ....... yeah right !! We called into Arnold Clark yesterday to check what was required of us to complete the sale, we pulled into the car-park ...

Review of Arnold Clark

David Penman Cars, Great people to do business with

Advantages: Great company
Disadvantages: Only one branch.

...competition, Lookers, are no longer SEAT dealers in Middlesbrough. When I ask people why they use Penman's, and indeed why so many of their customers keep returning, one customer has bought fifteen cars in twenty years, the answer is always the same. They offer consistantly good service at a very reasonable price! The deals they offer are always very competitive and where they really score is their after sales care. They have been SEAT dealers ...

Review of Seat

Rude and unbusinesslike

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: waste of time

I drove some distance to look at a car these guys advertised. It was a 12-year old Jeep, so I did not expect anything great. I picked up on the screeching ignition and rear hatch that would not stay open by itself, which he explained as normal for a car that age. Then I asked him what the ratting was coming from under the car. I was expecting an answer to explain it away, or even better a trust-engendering bit of honesty like "yeah, the exhaust will ...
...Oh no, was I in for a surprise! He just said "if you want a new car, go buy a new car". He then walked off without another word. Clearly not interested further talk. I could not believe a salesman would be so rude. What a complete waste of time. ...
