Dont forget you have also added another owner which will drop the price further.

One of the things I look at when buying a second hand car is the ownership. If someone dumped it after only owning it for a short time it must be a lemon.

Dont think this is necassarily the case, The BMW M3 notoriously changes hands due to running costs, there are many cars that people buy just to own for a whiel and move on, sports cars etc.

Blimey, we have a new Astra at work and it's a great little car.

Arnold Clark are a box shifter for cars, they'll be happy to swap it but after fees, tax, finance charges and a duff trade in you'll be out of pocket twice or three times your estimate.

Im not sure that the thread starter has the actual new version of the Astra It may the older model which the new one replaced.

Trust me webuyanycar.com also known as Carcraft or 'Carcrafty' aren't very good at all.

My father uset to work for the company, not in a salesman capacity however and seen day in day out the tactics the company used to knock prices down.

And do you know how webuyanycar.com was born? A employee suggested that instead of Carcraft buying from car auctions and hire car companies in bulk and then paying £75 each to be transported to their sites that they should get people to bring the cars to them. So by you driving it there they are already £75 better off regardless of what they knock off.


Also to whoever mentioned about cars being sold to people with bad credit this is true. I remember my dad telling me they had sold one car five times to different people and every time Carcraft bought it back off the finance company when the people who bought it couldn't pay, so just imagine how much profit that one car made them.

After Evans Halshaw Vauxhall Leeds, Carcraft or without doubt the worst company I have ever had the misfortune to visit.

I didn't realise at the time that it was a sub-prime scumbag company.....I still have nightmares of the visit.

To me the best thing to do is go back to either the Arnold Clark garage you seen the Fiesta in and speak to them, sometimes AC isn't as bad as some people think. Also most of their finance is done in house, so although people call it being owned by the finance company, alot of deals are done through AC itself.
Speak to them and see what they say, the big sale will be over very soon, so they'll be able to put it back without the extra money off!
