motorpoint.co.ukNewest Review: ... negotiate on the price - the price you see is the price you pay, but that price does go up straight away by about £200 to cover administrative costs. For me this still made it a competitive garage price for the car so wasn't too bothered - however you need to decide based on your own case needs. The car I chose had a low carbon emission, and the saleman advised me that this meant the car tax would be £35 a year, the emission rate on their website and on the paperwork aligned and on checking the figure the rate of £35 was confirmed. The car was transferred to Derby and when I went to collect it I had to go to a local post office to get the... more |

I bought my car from Motorpoint 2 years ago, I had used their website and others to find the car that I wanted and felt for the car I was after Motorpoint presented the greater variety. After visiting the Derby branch I realised that the cars I wanted to see were in Peterborough and so may the journey there. I found the car that I wanted - the first thing that Motorpoint will tell you is they do not negotiate on the price - the price you see is the price you pay, but that price does go up straight away by about £200 to cover administrative costs.

I purchased a BMW 320d in June 2007. The vehicle was new and not registered in UK but, as an import, had a reduced 2 years European warranty that had already commenced, expiring in April 2008. I was advised to purchase an extended warranty from Motorpoint that cost £399.00 for 12 months. At the end of 2008 the electronic unit for the ABS and DSC failed on the vehicle requiring a replacement at a cost pf £1800.00. I was dismayed to find in the small print of my extended warranty that the maximum claim was £970.00. Apart from being a 'rip-off' taking into account the purchase price, clearly this is not an appropriate warranty for a BMW vehicle. I have since purchased a 12 months warranty from Warranty Direct at a cost of just over £300.00 for cover up to £7,500.00. DON'T BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MOTORPOINT.

I used Motorpoints internet sales site to organize the purchase and part exchange of my old car for an Astra ctdi. Because I live in Scotland, it was arranged for the viewing and purchase to be at the Glasgow branch. All went well initially - but I was assumed to pay the last installment of my finance on the old car which was a standing order on the *28th* of each month month. I ordered the car on the 12th of the month and was phoned by the Derby branch that they wanted the deal done in Glasgow on thursday the *27th* of that month. They said that if it didn't happen then, the part exchange would lose a calander month in the glasses car valuation guide and ... Read the complete review
