Guys, they do good value cars, wondering on quality of vehicle, plus if prices are firm, any other pros or cons or feedback?

Cheers!

    I've never used them, but I'm often competing with their buyers at BCA...

    Pray you never have a problem, because you will get nothing from them. They will also upsell on high price insurances and protection plans.
  • hi i brought from them a couple of years ago and had no problem with purchase, saved alot of money, i saw car i wanted paid £200 quid depoist then sorted a loan out , not through them, as like most places like this you pay more if they arrange finance , insurances etc . i tried to haggle but to no avail but i wasnt really upset because the price was good anyway. i will use them again

    i have read good things about them and i think Quinten Willson ownes part of it

    you can't really haggle with them or motorpoint as they only have £200-300 profit margin but no harm asking:D
    Honesty is the best policy doesn't matter which web site
    you are on!

    if i had known then what i know now!

    a bargain is only a bargain if you really need it!

    The owner of Trade Sales sold out a couple of years ago. They used to sell a lot of imports. I bought a new Toyota Yaris saving about £2500 on list price. Nowdays, they sell mainly ex-rental cars. There are bargains to be had, but you will not know how the car had been treated before.
