Motorpoint

One should never tempt fate. On Christmas day I was discussing motoring at a party and I announced that I had never had an accident in thirty years' driving. I also mentioned that I had had my car for over a decade and had no intention of changing it: the subtext of my remarks - I'm a careful driver, careful with my cash! You guessed it, the very next day the fates intervened to mock me. While driving on a dual carriageway, the car in front braked sharply and bang went my unblemished accident-free motoring record.. My own car was judged by the assessors to be a write off. Although I have ... more

I know the basics about cars. And as someone who loves to drive, I always make sure that I know exactly what I want from my car. This is my first tip when you approach Motorpoint - from my experience, you will get the best deal if you know what you want but you know what you would be willing to compromise on. I bought my car from Motorpoint in Derby 2 years ago this month (that's what reminded me to write this opinion). I was impressed with the car I received and the price I got it for. Their service on the day could have been a bit better but we'll come back to that later. I knew I wanted a ... more

Having just joined this site and looking at car supermarkets, I thought I'd share my experience. The price of the vehicle, and Motorpoint's service were both fantastic! If you want to buy a new/used car, this is THE place to go! The site at Derby is enormous (just off the A52 East of the City centre). Over 2000 cars are on show on the site. Parking for your own car is very restricted, and the cars are scattered about randomly. There are two sites the main site and a rear compound (which they will drive you to). Locating any specific vehicle is not easy! Virtually all of the cars are in the ... more

I have just bought a BMW 1 series from the Derby Motorpoint showroom and I had to tell other people about it because I was really happy with the deal that I got. This is my first car that I have been able to spend a bit of cash on, so was a major purchasing decision for me. I also had my heart set on a BMW but wasn't sure if my budget would stretch to the model which I wanted. That's a bit about me though, back to the review... I had heard good reviews about Motorpoint from my Father-in-law and also some work colleagues who had also bought from them. I was also prone to stumbling across their ... more
