Anyone ever used these ? Looked at a couple of cars pricing seems keen. Anything to be aware of ? Any haggle in the prices ?

Got the wife's last two nearly new focus's from them.
And the parent's Mercedes.

Prices were really keen on Focus's so only a little flexibility.
Their business model probably makes its money from selling finance, extras etc
Pay cash, with no part-ex, win win

Excellent to deal with, and all three cars have been perfect

Cheers I'm trying to get an idea what they are like . Normally like to deal with indys as I feel the back up is better if something goes wrong or at least ones I have used. I guess part ex prices are tight , I think RFL is to be added on to price and somesort of revaleting fee.

Business model appears to be in their purchase price. I have a Mitsubishi Galant 1997 with very low mileage, FSH and new tyres. I am the first to admit it is not worth a deal of money but thought it would be more than 120 quid. Good job I didn't want to sell it really.

Quite a few of my customers in and around Wakey have used them and by and large, they have been quite good at dealing with issues. Big advantage is that you can see almost one of every make/model of car and compare before committing yourself.
As I understand it, some of their cars are bought at auction from fleet companies which may explain their pricing structure. You can always haggle with any car seller.

If I was selling the low mileage Galant I would never try to part ex something like that, private sale really.
