I bought one from them and when I came to sell it found that I couldn't as it it had outstanding finance on it from the previous owner!

The upshot of this was that the only way I could sell/trade in the car without getting involved in legal hassle was to go back to them with it, and (unhappily) trade it in against another from them.

I once bought a car from a trader (not Fords) that turned out to have outstanding finance. I wrote to the finance house explaining I'd bought it in good faith from a dealer. They wrote back confirming that they relinquished ownership of the car and it was mine to do with as I wished. One letter not a lot of legal hassle.

You were lucky!

The finance company involved were not so accommodating as yours!

Be careful, most of their stock are ex hire and rental cars with no service history as such manufacturer warranties are suspect
Best compare their deal with a main agent before commiting

That's how to stay in business for 50 years. Supply dodgy product;).

I've had an ex-motability from there. I believe they do a lot of those too.

Well having bought a 59 plate Focus from them in February and having an EGR valve failure and then a major oil leak and having to pay my Ford dealer £750 was no fun when I was told Ford UK wouldn't honour the warranty due to lack of service records

Did you not ask to see the service history before you bought the car ?

I was told by the showroom manager that the warranty was transferable because the car came from Provincial Securities a large leasing company and was therfore serviced 'in house' there would be no problem - he's no longer working for them, so i'm stuffed
