Advantages: Will save you money Disadvantages: Local dealer won't like you!
...I found myself on the Motorpoint of Derby website. Within seconds, I had found a Hyundai Coupe listed in their ever so easy to use stock list, for £13,999, £4000 less than my local dealer.
The only problem was, they didn't have one in silver. My local dealer had told me that silver would cost extra as it was metallic paint, so I was prepared to pay a bit extra for the colour of my choice. I decided to call Motorpoint to see if they could get me ... ...local dealership was right. Motorpoint would provide their own warranty for 12 months, however there would still be a 3 years manufacturer's warranty as well. "Why did Motorpoint go through the added expense of an additional warranty?" I asked. Some local dealers, may get a bit funny with an imported car, and might try to wriggle out of doing any warranty work, so the extra warranty was a 'just in case'. I was soon to put this to the test.
In terms ...

...but when we arrived at motorpoint all of our fears subsided. It is a really professionally run business.
When it came to handing over the keys to our old car i whispered to my husband would they knock off some money they were giving us for our car as it did have a few minor scratches and chips here and there. But no they didn't! The salesman said "our boys in the garage can fix those no bother! it doesn't affect the price" again different from the ... ...were more confident to use Motorpoint than a main dealer. They again offered us a lot more for the old car, save us more than £5000 on brand new car and in fact was £2000 cheaper than second hand ones we had seen.
I have put none for disadvantages but that is only from my point of view. I suppose really there are a few things that I should make people aware of:
* You are the second name on the log book.
* The cars are imported so this affects ...

Advantages: Massive cost savings, excellent service. Disadvantages: only one central base in the UK
...a new Ford Focus from MOTORPOINT at Derby. He had a small choice of colours available ex stock at the time, but was able to choose from a wide selection of models. He paid under £10,000 for a model which retails in the UK for almost£13,500.
The service provided by Motorpoint was excellent, with no hassel and no problems at all. He merely had to visit the Post Office close to Motorpoint to obtain a tax disc for the car, and within an hour of visiting ... ...He has had only two problems with the car: 1) The service booklet was in flemish, but he obtained a new English version from Ford UK with no difficulty, 2) The car radio developed a small problem, but his local dealer replaced the radio without a quibble.
Slightly better prices still, can be obtained by travelling to Belgium, Holland etc to buy your new car, however I doubt if the hassel of getting the importation documents etc is really worth the ...

Advantages: Reasonable Cost Disadvantages: Very poor service
...have been an advert about Motorpoint in Derby and decided to give it a try.
My daughter went with us to see what they had although she was not looking to change her car at the time.
We travelled up to Derby and had a good look around but alas nothing took my wife and my fancy.
My daughter fell in love with a year old Silver Rover 25. About two hours later when all the paperwork had been completed, with some hard sell regarding finance, etc we ... ...sort everything out.
My daughter and I travelled back to Derby to collect the car.
We were just about to drive out through the barrier having shown the gatekeeper the paperwork, when I noticed there was no Tax Disc in the windscreen.
We parked up and I went to the Main Office and was told I would have to see the Sales person.
I went out and spoke to him and he acted as though it was our fault for not noticing it before. When I said he had not ...

Advantages: competitive deals Disadvantages: no test drive, inconsistent sales information
...my Renault Scenic 1.6 auto expression was imported from Cyprus by Motorpoint to full UK Specification and the selling price was a massive 28% off UK list price. Although cars have delivery mileage, you only get the balance of 3 year warranty and registered as the second owner. ...
