Hi all, I'm currently looking to change my car, currently have an Abarth Punto Evo and for a 19 year old my taste is quite weird and I'm looking for something bigger. Two cars I've been looking at are imports- Volvo V70R and the Subaru Legacy 2.0 GT twin scroll.
A place in Birmingham called Cadwell cars has both of these options and seems too good to be true. Website seems legit and lots of good reviews on the website, not so much on trustpilot. Last experience I had with another dealer around the Midlands they turned out to be con artists... and don't want the same thing happening again.
Does anyone have any advice or experience with the place?
Thanks!

Assume you mean Canwell Cars in Sutton Coldfield rather than Birmingham? They've been going quite a long time and seem to have an okay reputation locally. Looking at reviews, it seems they aren't adverse to selling the odd lemon so I'd just tread carefully like any other used car purchase and assume you won't get a great deal of help from them if the st hits the fan. It's pretty much my approach to any used car purchase.

Are you sure it's "Cadwell" cars and not "Canwell" cars ??
https://www.canwellcars.co.uk/ seems to match your description.
