Buy from these people at your own peril! I bought a vauxhall astra from them just under a year ago and it was barely a week I had it before warning lights started flashing. Now (just in time for Christmas) the alternator has gone, all kinds of fluids are leaking and the car is a complete non-runner. I should blame myself more as the warning signs were already there when I looked around the dealership but the fact they were legally allowed to sell a car in that condition is shocking! Don't make the same mistake I did and spend your money elsewhere.

Always a good selection of cars and Mark is honest about the condition. His You Tube Channel is also entertaining, especially when his mobile rings during the video

I have just bought a car from off this website without going to see it and it is everything that the proprietor described it to be. I am exceedingly pleased with the car as most of it is still like new after 55 years. The proprietor is overloaded with work so be patient and bear with him if things appear to be a little difficult at times as he is completely sincere and he will attend to any issues that you might have.
