Just a warning if you are looking to buy a car from the above place at weston super mare.

I was recently on the look out for a new car so like you do i trawled the internet to find likey cars then went out to look at them. Found a car at the above so went down for a look and test drive. This was a typical car supermarket but the salespeople weren't overbearing. After the test drive i sat down with them to discuss the car and the first alarm bell sounded.

The car was listed as £6495 on the forecourt so as i was interested i asked what trade in value my car was worth, they offered me below market trade values iaw Parkers price guide but i got them back up to the correct value or so i thought. i then asked about the warranty and was told the car was sold as seen so i would have to buy a 3 month warranty for £375!! This discouraged me enough that i left the garage.

On returning home i decided to have a look at the car on-line again only to find it listed as £5995 so i rang the salesman straight back. Turns out this is the 'cash' only price and that if you have a trade in a £500 admin fee is added to the price hence being marked at £6495. This and the repeated calls from the salesman over the next few days was the final nail in the coffin.

Having checked their website i couldn't see any 'small print' about the above 'fees'.

Although they were not your typical car supermarket be warned about the hidden costs!! Definatey not Money Saving!
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
