    Quite. The speed with which they shift cars is astonishing. I've always had good experience with Motorpoint, and for me I like the fact they don't budge on price because their prices are rock bottom anyway. Ignore any extras they offer you and you will get a good deal.

    I think a lot of the problems lie in that people want to have their cake and eat it - Rock bottom prices, but thoroughly prepared cars, a cast iron year long warranty and A1 customer service.

    Unfortunately these are pretty much mutually exclusive.

    And sheer volume of cars

    Indeed. I was in one of Motorpoint's inbound compounds, and didn't realise it's size until the guard told me to go and look, I did and I couldn't believe it. Then he told me they'd be gone in a month :eek:

    Basically it's Aldi for cars. That's the price, it's cheap, you want it or you don't.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?
