Phantom cars are on website but not on their forecourt (not just once or twice as can happen but many times). Length of warranty / MOT has been lied about, they tell buyer that the car has been fully / recently serviced when it hasnt. people have reported that they have swapped over tyres and wheels after purchase but before collection.

Why would you buy a car from them?
Most the stuff uv just listed has no bearing what so ever on me as a car buyer for the following reasons:

- 'prices been put up after test drive arrangement'...well dont buy the bloody car then. My price wasnt put up, I fought for decrease in price as is the norm when it comes to 2nd hand car sales. Why would I have an issue buying a car from there just because someone else had that issue but I didnt.
- 'test drives refused until finance arranged', if this is really the case, walk out the door. I was told I had to come to general agreement on price b4 test drive. I told them this was a meaningless agreement as I wouldnt be paying a penny until I test drove the car. They let me test drive the car before anything was agreed, so no issue for me on this point.
- 'phantom cars on website'. Well the car I saw on the website was there when I got there!!!!!!!!! Again, no issue for me. If it wasnt there I'd say bye bye!
- 'length of MOT, warranty and servicing lied about'. Not in my case so again no issues for me.
- 'tyres/wheels swapped over'. Not in my case, everything in good shape on pickup. Disgraceful that that should happen to anyone but I made sure all was in order on collection.

Why would I buy a car from them? Why wouldnt I buy a car I thought was reasonable and actually existed when I got there, that I could indeed test drive.!
