    People used to be wary of smaller cars sales and I still am but not half as much as the big independents. Rip-off and you can never trust them unless you know someone who works there who you know will do a good job.

    Second hand cars are still way over priced and I cannot believe they are not having to lower their prices drastically like the owners of houses are having to. The car dealerships need a clear message sent to them.

    Second hand car prices are determined by supply and demand

    Recently fewer owners are changing their cars up to new models due to the recession. The result is popular economical second hand cars are holding their value.

    Of course Hurst's accept Credit cards as does all big retailers

    But why pay thru the nose?

    There are many small independent garages around, much more efficient and cheaper/ Also you don't have to use Hurst's service as part of a warranty, any VAT registered garage can do it using genuine parts

    Just to get the extra protection offered by CC company. If anything goes wrong I can get the money back.

    Is this for a service or deposit for or buying a vehicle?

    I didn't realise Hurst's were retailing old cars as the usual costs of warranty claims on such vehicles would make that uneconomic trading.

    How old is the car and how much are you spending?

    that's not particularly old and 7k is still a lot of money for a car

    You must have a big limit on ur credit card? and paying it off immediately

    Wish you luck anyhow
