Motorpoint car sales?

Options
Has anyone used these people?

Seen a car I like the look of but have an old car to part ex.

They seem to offer good value.

Thanks

    Haven't used these people, but in general car supermarkets give poor trade-in values.

    Hi

    I used them a couple of years ago, and they were really good value for money. Didnt part ex-change as I sold my car privately, but got a really good deal on an MX5, I used there branch in Derby.

    Hi,
    Have used motorpoint before but the only thing i would say is that i only got a year's warranty. I have since bought from an internet dealer and i have to say that it was the easiest thing i have ever done. They even part-ex'd without looking at my old car!! Got the full warranty package and they delivered. BELTINNN!!

    Check the background of what you are buying so you know whether it is a good deal or not.

    For example a lot of their stock of Fiestas, Corsas, etc are ex-daily rental cars from the Channel Islands.

    You may not have anything against owning a car with such a history, but it might make it more difficult to sell when you want to change it in a couple of years.

    I would agree with Altarf on the previous history part. When i went to part ex my old motorpoint car they classed it as having two previous owners even though i had bought from new! Just a load of salesman patter really but they will try it on.

    Hi Sianypooh
    Can you tell me which internet dealer you used. I'm looking to buy a Golf TDi but have heard of some horror stories of the cars never arriving! Anyone else had a good deal and service?
