Anyone Bought Used Car On-line ???

sp3

Has anyone bought a used car from one of the on-line dealers quoting "delivery to your door" ???

I've found Carsrusuk and Outsidelane (and I'm sure there are many more),who offer such a service and the price of their cars are considerably cheaper than the dealers. Both promise a money back guarantee.
So I was wondering whether anyone has had any experience of them or any others ? Autoquake seem to offer a mixed service, but very few other car dealers seem t omake it to these forums.

Either people are very happy with their service, or people just don't buy on-line.

Any personal experiences would be appreciated.

Never used em myself, because I always use eBay!

I've brought 4 cars in my life and all have been from eBay - never had a problem with the cars, if you know what your looking at you can get some great bargains on it.

Have you tried looking at using a broker. They can generally knock a fair bit off the dealer price as well due to fleet discounts and the good thing is you still end up buying from the dealer direct. Try Drivethedeal - http://www.drivethedeal.com/ as well as having alook over on the Honest John website - http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/

Hey I first came on here because I was thinking of buying a car from Autoquake last year. Well I read all the comments (most of them negative!) and bit the bullet and bought a car from them anyway. I feel abit bad really cos the whole experience was pretty positive and my car (Focus) was and is still great so being typically British because I didnt have anything to moan about I never updated my details!(Plus I was a bit put off because all the positive stuff I read just got disregarded by other people as being made up by Autoquake employees! which I am certainly not) I would definately recommend them but they can be quite limiting if your after a specific car. Thats why Im on here today. We recently have been looking for a smaller car, a fiesta diesel. Autoquake don't seem to have much in stock so we ended up going online through Autotrader and found a car in a garage in Wales. Theyve got loads to choose from, really helpful and like Autoquake bring the car down for you. Everything looked good so we bought it and unfortunately a week later found a problem with the injecter system. We panicked but theyve sorted it out for us and paid for all the work with no hesitation. So yet again I have been pretty shocked at having two good experiences with car sales within a year. This last experience has kinda jogged me to come back to this Forum and actually acknowledge and share when things do go right. Hope this reassures you. The garage in Wales is called Hillcrest Car Sales (sorry tried to give you a link but the site won't allow it! so just google it and the bloke to ask for is Phil. Good luck and I hope u get what your after.

Not enough people want to buy a car unseen & have i delivered to your door, Most people would want a choice.

Unless its the cheapest legal car advertised that week and your desperate.
