Available Car Supermarket

...heard all the adverts for available car.com we thought we would go and have a look around one of their forecourts just to get an idea of what we could get for what money. Availablecar.com are also available on line although not all cars in their show room are on line so it’s worth a visit to see what new vehicles have come in. They deal with cars ranging from £3000 to £15,000 so if you are looking for cheaper or have more money to spend you might ...
...it clear available car only sell second hand cars, so don’t go expecting to get anything brand new, although they have a great range of nearly new! We currently have a 02 Ford Focus and were looking for something a little bigger (but not too much, because at some point I’m going to have to park it myself!) and as new as possible. The show room and cars ---------------------------------- Hubby had his heart set on a Renault Scenic or a Focus C-Max, ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

...and sell it private as Available car would only really have any use for it by sending it to auction. The figures looked good, the finance was very competative and obviously the more cash you could send their way, the better the finance deal looked. We were offered a test drive, which we initially declined.... then accepted but chose not to drive it.... more sit and feel the ride. The sales rep was very knowledgeable about the range in general, ...
...the road. The only downside was that we could not collect for another week, as they had a lot on and we didn't have a lot of free time to be able to get in and pick it up during the day. They gave us the logbook which enabled us to do our bits of paperwork and arrange insurance.... while they valeted and MOT'd it (even though 3 months still remained on it) and performed what they call a 77 point check. We were offered a few extras, again this wasn't ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

...fair few positive reviews of Available Car Supermarket, I decided to travel from Blackpool to view a Nissan Almera Tino that I'd seen advertised. When entering the reception, I was immediately greeted and asked if I'd visited before as they gave me a full list of the vehicles available. I told them I was looking for a specific car, they found the car I was interested in and pointed me in the direction as to where the vehicle would be parked. I was ...
...member of staff was immediately available to bring the car to reception, before I could test drive the car I had to give a few brief details and then was taken to the car just outside. The 'salesman' who was to accompany me on the testdrive told me they had a set route which included a road with a 60 mph limit so I could drive the car through at all speeds, the test drive took approximately 10 minutes and I was very satisfied with both the car and ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

...well with the service of available cars in castle donington. Apart from a bit of bad luck when I tried to pick up my car. But more on that later. I'll first give you some info about this "car supermarket". Choice and availability Available car is a quite big "shop" to buy new and (mainly) used cars. They have more than 700 cars on site on the East Midlands, 10 acre car supermarket display, preparation, and distribution centre, located 1 mile from ...
...exactly what cars are currently available there, and - if you wish - explain you where to find the cars you are looking for. The place is structured by big, middle, small cars. Then you can walk through and have a look at the cars inside and outside. And nobody disturbs you, trying to sell you immediately. Something I really appreciated. But if you have a question? Be sure, there is somebody not far away from you. They have really lots of stuff taking ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

...up buying a car from Available Car, as they didn't have the model I decided to buy, but they impressed me so much I thought I'd write about my experiences with them. When I first heard of Available Car, the name put me off as I thought it would be another of these places more interested in the finance than the car. However after reading some reviews on Ciao, we decided to visit. First impressions were good - the showroom looks small from the front, ...
...This is the strength of Available Car - in one afternoon we were able to look at a huge range of cars that would have taken days visiting different dealers. All the cars are open, so you can sit in them, adjust the seats, and examine them as much as you want. We finally chose two cars to test drive, and went to find a salesman who arranged things. The test drive was brief, but at least gave a chance to get them up to a decent speed. He answered ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

I went along to Available Car in Castle Donnington a couple of Sundays ago looking to purchase a nearly new Ford Focus. It was overall an excellent experience and took the stress out of what can be a stressful transaction. The premise of Available Car is that there are no salesmen showing you around the cars and therefore no hard sell. You walk into a large showroom which has a few cars on the right hand side and seating areas on the left. You are ...
...I wanted to pay, at Available Car I got exactly what I wanted for the price I was willing to pay. They also offer finance but as I was paying cash I didn't notice what rates they had, they do have an excellent website which has all those sort of details on. The only problem I encountered with Available Car was that I had to wait nearly two weeks to pick my car up as they allocate you a slot. The reason they gave for this was that they were very ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

I had come across Available Car on their website about a year ago. I was very struck by their prices and the wide choice of cars. I was particularly interested in a Ford Fiesta Zetec that they had, so after phoning, I travelled the 200 miles by train from Kent to take a look. Someone from Available Car had arranged to meet me at Long Eaton train station, and he had a very pleasant manner. Overall, I was very impressed by their non-pressurised approach ...
...holding deposit though. I visited Available Car on two more occasions, and finally decided on a blue, 2004 Ford Fiesta TDCI, after test-driving it. After a rather long walk to their local post office to buy the car-tax, I drove the Fiesta the 200 miles home via the M1 (which they're situated 10 minutes from). Then things started to go wrong because when I got home I found some hairclips and a brush in the car, also the alloy wheels were very dirty ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

...had bought her fiat from available car so i decided to heve a look and see what they had. i can safely say it was a great decision,they had a wide selection of nearly new quality cars and after a good look round decided on a citroen c5 at this point i was jopined by a salesman who was extremely helpful and imformative. he arranged for me to take the car for a test drive which i did and this helped make my final decision to buy the car. i was ...
...was never put under any pressure to buy,he offered me a low deposit to secure the car so i could arrange my own finance with my bank. at no point did he try to convince me that i should use their finance. about a week later after securing my bank loan i returned to pick my car up, it had been valletted and looked in showroom condition. i would recomend them to anyone who wants a quallity car at competitive prices even if you dont live that close ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

...I went back to Available Car and asked for a full refund or a vehicle equal to the amount of what I paid as the vehicle was sold defective and could not be repaired. The sales Manager told me that the best he could offer was a vehicle that I had driven earlier that cut out 3 times within 1 mile and the bodywork looked like it had done the RAC rally twice and was up for sale for nearly £1000 cheaper than mine. This was very offensive as my car is ...
...refund to be told " absolutley NO " In my opinion the so called " uk car dealer of the year" are very happy to help when you are spending money but when it comes to refunds etc they are probably worse than the average small dealer. I would have got far better service from Aurthur Daley !!! BEWARE ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

Not at all helpful, unwilling to provide a service to help anyone but them selfs, it took ages to get the car in the first place even though we pleaded with them. Our sales man on the day of transfer , while we were waiting for our car was texting someone while we were sat at the desk! after we found out we needed a docoment we didnt have with us they were just like so you cant take the car then, no offer of help or advice. The car was amazing and i really wanted it otherwise i would of walked out there and then.. we will never deal with these again, they are seriously lacking in hte customer service department. ...

Review of Available Car Supermarket

The car I chose was nice, my only gripe with the company is the following.. Although you spend thousands on the car, they dont tax the car but have the cheek to give you a tax holder. Once I got the car, it was running on fumes and in a town I`am not familiar with, it was a mad rush to try and find a petrol station. I`ve been waiting weeks for my new log book to arrive, so I rang DVLA and no documents have been sent to them to notify change of ...
...to me to send the old log book in - which is wrong, they are leaving themselves wide open to prosecution. Also before I bought the car they couldnt answer any questions about it. They say they will find out and call you right back, they never do. The cars are fine, its the customer service which bothered me and once you sign on the dotted line they couldnt care less. ...
