Question

Has anyone bought a Scooby (or any other car) from this company?

What was the service like?

They currently have MY01 5 doors for £18499 and 4 doors for £17999 with 3 year warranty. I assume that these are Euro UK spec imports with an aftermarket warranty?

Thumbs up

I've not heard anything bad personally and I've looked at this company for some time myself. They also had a special of some sort which looked good value, they are all EU imports though.

IMHO.

A friend has bought two cars from them, a Ford Puma and an Alfa 156. Both cars have been fine. He said that the cars weren't that well valeted on delivery though.

Bought a van from them, no problems sofar, I agree with Ian it could have been valetted better, mainly the roof, but then it is a high top, but then again what does a valet cost when your going to save thousands.

Oh well, the money you save on the car will pay for Wax Wizard to visit and do his usual top job.

Do you have to declare a car purchased from a supermarket as an import to your insurance company? After all, all cars made in a different country to this one are imported.

Do not know about motorpoint but one of the other similar dealers in the Midlands has just been fined for receiving cars from a company that imported them from Cyprus and had them clocked.
