The one in Manchester closed recently - any surprise?. It is about to become a Vauxhall dealer. I went there once. A boring range of cars which were highly priced and poor part exchange offers.

I went there. The one near Northampton, and they were very keen on telling me that I could borrow money to buy a car and pay less in interest that I was receiving in interest from a bank. They must have thought that because I had postman's uniform on, that I don't understand arithmetic. I do, though. and I didn't buy a car from them.

These places are basically loaning money at high interest and the car is almost incidental to their business.

The high pressure selling technique didn't work when my parents looked round there, silly finance rates & over the top prices where enough to put them off in less then 10 minutes.
Local Ford main dealer, totally different world, much better & larger range of approved used stock, nothing high pressure or silly there, how car buying should be & that's why they got the sale.
A lot of people knock main dealers but they can be a much better place to buy from then car supermarkets.

Walked around the one in Enfield a couple of times, while awaiting 'provisional sales' at BCA , almost next door.
Experience similar to above, but very polite girl on reception & was more than professional - unlike the ex double glazing salesmen in the showroom!!
Place IS GOOD for looking at vehicles, in a warmer/drier enviroment & OK if the customers have kiddies with them, also the vehicles are somewhat better than the now done away with YES! Car Credit - althogh similar scary finance deals.
so there's some good ponts almost, for them!
Other than that, hope anyone going there, gets chance to visit the auction centre, too - see how much they can save, if they sort their own finance!!
Saying that, I can quite easily see why inexperienced car owners/buyers will still be tempted - if it's an 'easy' £ amount per month, then they will be swayed!!

The one in Glasgow is no longer. I think they got sussed out . . . . . . . . . thankfully

Went to the one at Cannock. Apart from a relatively limited selection the desperation of the sales staff who started examining the car we'd brought with us, before we'd even discussed purchasing one off them (which we didn't) was appalling. anyone nearby would do best to go up the road to Motorhouse.
