Car Supermarkets > Fords of Winsford Car Supermarkets

  AFFORDABLE FORDS - VAUXHALLS, ROVERS, MAZDAS ETC.

Advantages: Vast selection of cars, low mileage, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Gets very busy at weekends

...WE DECIDED TO GO TO FORDS OF WINSFORD = I had actually bought a car from them a few years ago and my husband bought his last car from them, so we were aware of the vast choice in cars available, how reasonably priced they were and knew they were a trustworthy and reputable company. Fords of Winsford won the "Which Car" award for Britain's Best Car Supermarket in 2002, 2004 and 2005. And with good reason ...
...and transit vans. Fords of Winsford do not actually sell brand new cars, but many of the vehicles for sale have a very low mileage and are always in superb condition. They tend to sell a lot of fleet cars which usually have a low mileage and it is for this reason they can afford to sell them at such reasonable prices. Although no new cars are sold here, neither will you find old cars. The cars for sale usually date back no further than five years. ...

Review of Fords of Winsford Car Supermarket

BE WARY OF BULLISH SALES AND PARALLEL IMPORTS

Advantages: Can't offer any I'm afraid - good deals to be had from standard dealers at moment
Disadvantages: can't be trusted - If you like gambling they're great.

Motorpoint Glasgow - nearly duped into buying Ford Fiesta 1.4 % Door Titanium. Be very careful before you buy a new car from motorpoint. Bullish sales tactics on phone - they will reduce deposit from £500 to £300 for you - a 'special deal'. The spec of the cars they sell are no where near that of UK cars. They use parallel imports (in this case, Malta). When I asked about spec they initally said that they 'couldn't guarantee' the final specification ...
...subject to deposit refund if spec vastly different. Car transported from Derby to Glasgow. I e-mailed them the UK spec and was then told it (the spec) was exactly the same 'except for the floor mats'. It turned out they had frankly lied to get me to view the car. I got to Glasgow to view car - Vastly different spec - Instead of Ford Fiesta Titanium it was more like Fiesta Style/Zetec. I would imagine they deal with all makes/models of car in the ...

Review of Motorpoint

Not a good place to buy a car!

Advantages: Price of the car was cheap.
Disadvantages: It took 3 attempts to get car driving properly. Horrible customer service.

I have just bought a car from CarGiant and found it an extremely stressful and unpleasant experience. Buying a car from Car Giant is not something I would recommend that anyone does. At one stage the “customer service” people were being so unreasonable when I made a request of them that I vowed that I would share how bad my experience had been with the widest possible audience unless they at least considered my request for some sort of refund for ...
...that anyone who buys from Car Giant does so with their eyes wide open. I’m posting this review in as many places as possible in the hope that everyone who needs to see it will see it and avoid the error that I made. I had read a few poor reviews of Car Giant before I bought, but not enough to dissuade me. I hope that this adds to the information out there to allow people to make an informed choice. My basic advice would probably be – don’t. My experience ...

...6 month old car from Jefferies Farm - UnbeatableCar from their Crawley Car Supermarket I had been and browsed there before and had often been tempted because its like an Aladdin’s cave, everywhere you turn there’s another nice car. We were looking for a particular type of car, so we decided to look at their website UnbeatableCar.com to see if they had any in stock. We found the site very simple to use, but also clear and informative, we managed to ...

Review of Jefferies Farm Trade Centre Car Supermarket

Cargiant - Steer well clear!

Advantages: Lots of cars to choose from.
Disadvantages: Impersonable, dishonest, inferior cars,

...of 30 mph). The car drove fine as far as i could tell at that speed. I decided to go ahead with the purchase. When driving at motorway speeds there was a massive amount of road noise. The car was inspected at a garage and both the rear tyres had distorted tread patterns. Also the brakes had excessive corrosion. On speaking to Cargiant they said that the car was inspected and was safe. (NOT TRUE The brakes would fail and MOT and one of the tyres). ...
...out any work that isn't absolutely essential. (In this case work that was essential). I have now spent an additional £350 to bring up to scratch. Bringing cost nearer to main dealer prices! THE FINANCE: I was told by two people that the loan rate would be 8%. I made clear that i would not purchase if the rate was higher. Checking my paperwork i now find it is over 14.5% (I will be letting the FSA know about this). SUMMARY: Do not go there! Too big, ...
