    the tinted glass on that to me screams skanger mobile. Wouldn't be too worried with a high mileage jazz if its been looked after properly but you could probably find better. Can just imagine that particular one cruising with big alloys and the tunes blaring!

    I don't know where cargiant get there cars from, but there is something about that with makes me think it's a Jap.

    Not a bad car, tint is a bit off putting but everyone to there own. Also make sure you get a good exchange rate:D

    In my opinion, it would have a better resale as a manual, so if conditions allow, that's what i would be going for.

    Thanks for the input guys.

    The car is on my diveway now :) Picked it up yesterday.

    Well the tinted thing can be resolved easily but just removing the stickers I guess.

    The car came with full service history from Alan Day honda UK and is not import.


    I live in london about 20 minutes from Car giant showroom :) .

    I can only buy automatics as I passed my full UK license for "automatics only" :(

    That's a bit extreme isint it? The car isint exactly modded up. I have tinted windows on my car, mainly because of my daughter in the back. As my car is also black, the tint keeps the car cool (in the temperature sense!). Also, I do tend to carry a fair amount of stuff in the car from a security point of view.

    Also what are they like with haggling?

    Did you get anything off the price or extras?

    The car is in great condition and drives smooth.
    have automatic sunroof and etc.
    The car if fully serviced and washed when you go to pick it up.

    They dont do any bargaining what so ever. The price you see is the price you pay.

    I tried haggling but they were not interested.

    they sell about 1000 cars a month.

    I bought it with a 1 year warranty for extra 290 pounds <they offer up to 3 year warranty with 14 day cooling off period>
    That covers for every thing.

    Paid the money by debit card.


    also 7 day free driveaway insurance is included with all their cars.
    each car contains 5 litre of fuel when leaving the place.

    they have some great bargains.

    The best thing for me was peace of mind.

    You got a great deal, that place really sounds like the business as well.
