Has anyone bought from somewhere like motorpoint or trade sales?

Im planning on doing so very soon, but would like to see if there are any satisfied customers out there? - or dissatisfied?

Is there anything I should be looking out for particularly? bucket seats and underseal seem to be the things Ive heard. Any comments/experiences welcome.. Andy

I was going to buy from a supermarket in Derby until I discovered the cars were sourced outside the EU. Make sure you get an EU car and you should not have any warranty problems, Holland & Belgium seem to get the best votes.

ADP have you not considered buying direct and saving even more ££££'s.It's no more hassle believe me, maybe just a longer wait.

..and just to keep things related to your question, I think the only concern (apart from paying more than direct) is what si mentioned.

I would do, but my car got totalled and I had to cancel one that was on its way, Im now in the position to buy - quickly though

boultsy

ah bummer, well it was, not now though I guess

Try Litchfield's there's a link in the link I posted earlier, definitely worth considering over any supermarket, Ian's a scooby fan himself and they offer a lot of after market options all covered under their 3 year warranty. It looks by far the best deal for a quick fix.

spoke to Ian, 5 months waiting list though....

ADP,

I know for a fact Motor Depot have cars on the way now. Try them and phil should sort you out.

Well Lane Turbo Centre sorted me - same price as Trade Sales etc but EU cars, and they're getting them in all the time

Don't I remember someone saying recently that Well Lane had quite a few new imports in stock...

P.S. That will teach me to slowly type responses while in a meeting...

Bought a Focus from Trade-Sales. No complaints at all - paid £10k for a car with a list of £14.5k.
Not the smarmiest service, and only 1 year warranty but for that saving I couldn't care less

ADP

Well lane looks good(though 200 miles plus away), but I live about 10 mins from trade sales so its a shame they seem to have a bad rep for Scoobies. Maybe I could agree to hand over the cash only on receipt of all the appropriate gubbins?

Just ask them point blank wher their Scoobs are sourced. If they can confirm 100% in writing that it's Europe (ie Belgium or Holland) then you should be OK. Otherwise, walk away - it's not worth the hassle.

I tried them last August when out last car (not a Scoob) was hit by a third party - and ended up ordering a MY02 WRX wagon from Alain Knockaert in Ypres, Belgium. Much cheaper, better service, proper documents and the wait soon passed (only 4 months)......
