CarCraft Leeds & Bradford Car Supermarket

Carcraft is one of , if not THE biggest Car used car dealers, with 11 hypermarkets across the UK. With over 8000 cars to choose from there is certainly something for everyone and every budget! We bought a new, well used, car on Mothers Day this year. We decided that we needed a bigger family car with me expecting our second child. And it was as good an excuse as any other!! So, why did we choose Carcraft, Well, we are not the richest people in ...
...about getting some help from Carcraft as they offer credit facilities. We visited the Carcraft website and browsed through the hundreds of cars in their portfolio. Great! so easy and in no time at all we chose a car and emailed them to display an interest! We chose a Citroen Picasso, a great People carrier at less than £4K for a 2001 registration. In no time at all, Carcraft were on the telephone to us, asking us about whether we were really intrested ...

Review of CarCraft Leeds & Bradford Car Supermarket

...questionaire to complete on how Carcraft can improve. It all seems very systematic, and i didnt feel like i was really in control of what i wanted to do. I was told where to park, told where the entrace was, Pounced upon by a sales rep who wasn't really bothered about who i was, and who i knew was going to be a pain in the rear until the time i got out of this place. I made it clear that i didnt want to buy anything that day - and i would reccomend ...
...any car you want. On the negative side of things, it's not so good if you want the freedom to choose where to go or what to do, or if you're actually buying a car - you'll need a bigger loan than you thought, if Carcraft have it there way. ...

Review of CarCraft Leeds & Bradford Car Supermarket

Now if you are looking for a car you must be a very picky person if you dont find one here! The place itself is huge and they stock many varieties of the same car - whether its by year or colour. I had one thing in mind - finding myself a gorgeous little peugeot 206 in blue. I had looked everywhere but was having no luck so we tried here. Now be warned, like any other car place you have your typical pouncing salesmen! Its as though they are taught ...
...one has found you theres no getting away. Although friendly they are very persuasive so go in with a fixed idea of what you want and how much you want to pay -and stick to it! Now you will be spoilt for choice when looking around and i instantly spotted a whole group of 206's. The great thing about this place is that you can get in and out of the cars, touching things to find out if it has what your looking for. If you can get to the car without ...

Review of CarCraft Leeds & Bradford Car Supermarket

I usually make snap decisions about things I probably shouldn't, and buying a car was one of them. I saw the car (a 51 plate Ford Focus) on the website on the Saturday night, and went in to see the car on the Sunday. After a quick chat with my girlfriend, I decided to go ahead with it. The salesman didn't seem to interested, and as soon as I said I would buy the car, he took my details and that was that. Then I went to get my detaiuls taken for ...
...for more than 4 hours in the waiting area. The financial consultant I talked to was very helpful. He showed me the terms they could offer. I had a quick look over it and said yes. He asked me if I was sure, and then pointed out the APR of 24%. He advised me not to go for the deal, and that it would be cheaper for me to go elsewhere for finance. This was very hinest of him! In the end, In paid a bigger deposit, and he managed to wangle me a cheaper ...

...found a car on the carcraft website and we arrange to travel up to leeds to view it. when she enquired about the car she was told to stop it being sold she would have to pay a £100 deposit , this would be returned if you didnt buy the car. on the way to view the car the clutch on the car went so she had to get a tow back home to get it fixed. she phoned carcraft and explain the problem , they did try and get her to take the car to leeds and they ...
...as she is self employed she doesnt get much time of to drive 250 miles to view a car . the guy that we spoke to said that they would refund the £100. in total this week we have had 7 calls demanding to know when she will be buying the car. buying the car ? she hadnt even seen it. now we have been told that the £100 deposit is non returnable . so what they are saying is if you see a car on the internet and you want to view it you have to pay a deposit.which ...

On entrance to Carcraft Leeds we were approached by one of the sales team and we told her that we had come for our appointment, she went off to find the person we were there to see. On her return she said that she had been told to look after us, after choosing a car she sorted out what could only be described as a fools deal. my wife and I were told to take a seat and think about the deal. we were about to leave when I received a call on my mobile, ...
...and that the panels were not in line. Finally the Engine Management System packed in. Carcraft simply told me that it was bought under Sold as Seen and it was nothing to do with them. We were there for six hours and I have ended up with a 12.5k banger. ...

Carcraft Lakeside This company are the worst of car dealers They are very crafty with their selling techniques My son was quite upset when he though he had actually bought a car at a reasonable price (having shook hands on the deal!) only for the salesman to get his 'manager' to come and say the car couldnt be sold at the agreed price and then tried to re negotiate with warranty's etc needless to say we told our son walked away ...

The second you walk through the door, you will be pounced on by salesman, as by most companies. Beware of handing over your keys for them to value your existing car, as you just might not see them again. It is their "practice" as told by a manager, to keep your keys as you haven't bought anything yet!!! The price advertised on the internent is not the price in the showroom, salesman even had the nerve to confirm that price on the internet, was just to get you there and through the door!!! eg, 1,300.00 more. Certainley not an experience to repeat, I will be telling my friends. ...

Review of CarCraft Leeds & Bradford Car Supermarket

...Sunday! It seemed confusing to Carcraft that someone else was buying the car for me and that the finance would not be in the same name as the driver. Anyway after agreeing on £179 per month over 5 years which if you work it out is still a fortune for 51 plate Peugeot 206, we were taken to the little box rooms in the back and practically forced to buy the extended warranty (which I have since found out is totally useless as nothing is covered). Then ...
...I tried to speak to Carcraft who told me that I only had 3 months to report any faults even though it supposedly had a 120 point check and an amazing extended warranty! Since then I have had to pay for a full new exhaust pipe, a new catalytic converter and a new CPU for the electrics costing me a total of £1,200 (none of which was covered under the warranty!) since last November. I have now sold the wreck that they gave me and bought an older car ...
