    Anybody have any reviews on the above? Thinking of getting a car from them and would like to hear from anyone who has bought from them.
    Cheers!

    Avoid, they sell a lot of insurance write-off's that have been repaired.

    OMG, so glad to read this. Was just about to contact them with what seemed like a 'very good value' Fiesta! Thanks again

    I've no such horror story, but I did go to look at a car from those guys and wasn't impressed with the car or the sales-folk. I personally wouldn't have ruled out buying from them, but I would be uneasy and it would definitely be a "keep your eyes open"/caveat-emptor scenario.

    I wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't true. There's nothing wrong with buying an previous write off repair as long as:

    1. The car has been repaired to a good standard using good quality parts and by qualified and skilled professional repairers, get the car independently assessed by a qualified automotive engineer and not just a mechanic.(nothing against mechanics)
    2. The retail price is 20-25% cheaper than other equivalent non write off repaired cars
    3. The dealer tells you it was as write off repair, this IS a legal requirement when it's a dealer selling the car
    4. You're aware that the insurance company that wrote off the car may decide never to insure that car again but other insurers probably will as insurers don't share write off info
    5. It may well prove difficult to sell on or trade it in in the future

    BUYER BEWARE!!!!! Do your homework before parting with €
