Car Supermarkets

Am sure done to death but in my used car search am starting to look at stock at these.

I get the sense the bigger ones are difficult to entirely t trust or enjoy the process (Big, Carsa, Car Giant, Motorpoint etc) but are the smaller ones like HPL or Minster that style themselves as supermarket “better”. I imagine you can still get decent cars from any of them with service history etc and not ex hire cars.

Can’t speak for most of them, but I’ve bought two cars from Cargiant and it was a pretty painless process. No hard sell on warranty or various insurances, one car had some suspension issues not long after I bought it - they were happy for me to take it to a main dealer and picked up the tab.

Only ones I've ever heard constant bad reports are Motoring World.

The likes of Hilton car supermarket just stick cars on the forecourt as is, fixed price, no negotiation. Yes they'll try flog finance, add ons, gap etc just say no. They might run a hosepipe over them, but inside you'll see how well (or not) the previous driver treated it. In some ways I prefer that over a steam cleaned engine bay. On the other hand, if you don't want to be emptying crisp packets from the glove box, or used condoms under the drivers seat, then you'd pay more from a dealer.
