Amazing experience car exactly as described

I’m writing this after enduring a full day of abuse and lies from this dealership. I bought a car online and when it arrived yesterday it was not as described. There was no sat nav or Apple car play. The wrong multimedia unit was listed. It didn’t have the original alloys as listed. There wasn’t a full service history. They didn’t complete a full service before they sold it to me. The car arrived filthy dirty on the exterior and interior. Mould was forming in the boot. A panel join was rusting and corroded. There were many notable scratches and chips which I was told it didn’t have. Most significantly there was an outstanding safety recall on the vehicle that I wasn’t notified of. The V5 was also suspicious. They said the vehicle had no previous owners and it wasn’t even owned by the dealership. I have had to contact the name listed as owner despite it saying there were no owners to see if they had even sold it to the dealership and to ensure that it wasn’t a stolen vehicle. They agreed to deliver and the driver did not stay when I started to raise concerns. He took off without me signing anything. I received a poorly written invoice which had grammatical errors and lacked any genuine information of the agreed sale and was frankly worthless. The people I have spoken to from this company have been extremely abusive and have called me a ‘stupid woman’ and told me to ‘get lost’ when I raised concerns with them. I asked for a refund and they have refused. They have threatened me repeatedly when I have said that I need to take this further. I don’t want the vehicle and have told them to collect and give me a full refund based on being mis-led by their false advertising and constant lies and deceit. There were even receipts in the car for a petrol station where they used different cards that were declined. Very suspicious. They are untrustworthy and as soon as they have your money they will ignore any issues you have and refuse to give you back your money despite our consumer rights under the 2015 act. I have stopped trying to speak to them on the phone as they are so vile. I’ve issued them with a formal letter of complaint and quoted my rights to a full refund within the 14 day period but they are still refusing. These people are fraudsters and only care about money. Happy to rip you off and then abuse you if you try to exert your rights. I’ve never been spoken to with such hostility by a man before. Under no circumstances go anywhere near these people. Protect yourselves.

Booked to take a car for a test drive and then was told when I turned up with the car in front of me that you have to really be keen on the car and a deposit has to be taken. Easier to walk away from businesses that waste time.

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE.
If I could give a -1* I would have. Please people if you want a safe car and not to be aggressively responded to or totally ripped off do NOT buy anything from these. The car I purchased was parked on my front for 6 months, I took it for a mechanical report and it was too unsafe for me to drive home I had to have some repairs done just to park it up. I seriously can not advise strongly enough to keep clear from these people. They are aggressive towards you once you have purchased the vehicle, say they are going to do this and that and do nothing. How they can sleep at night selling the death traps they do I will never know!

Car not as described. Car was allegedly serviced but no documents or proof have been provided.

Car has several faults and missing items such as Sat Nav. Garage has not responded to any communications.

Bought a car from these people back in March via the internet. Received the car fine in good working order. They didn’t tell me the got a parking ticket and adjusted the paperwork to make it look like the car was mine.
I have tried to fight it but i’m left with a parking ticket bill over £100. Cars direct have refused any correspondence. I would avoid at all costs.

Purchased a car from them in May 2023 which had a faulty suspension. I sent a quote to the dealership for approximate repair and contacted them twice and there has been no response! Please avoid because they do not provide any after care at all. Paid full price for the car which I now regret. I do not recommend and very upset with being ignored.

I went for a viewing on the Saturday, was as described on the website, paid a deposit, and picked up the car on the Thursday as it was the long Easter weekend. I came down from Manchester and the guys were kind enough to pick me up from the station and sort all the paperwork out. Excellent customer service and real genuine guys. I would wholly recommend this place to anyone looking to purchase a car.
