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 of the car. Fair enough - I Ordered the car 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 same way - they use parallel imports. If you don't know what you are doing, or are unsure what you are buying then avoid these guys like the plague - they will take advantage of you. If the price look too good to be true the car probably is too.

Advantages: Excellent service, very cheap prices, good website Disadvantages: not many options on colour. what you see is what you get and a lot of the same colour
