Motorpoint

No connection with Motorpoint but in general, you want to look at recent reviews rather than historical stuff.

odd that Motorpoint got "Car Supermarket of the year 2013" award

Rather 'burn in hell' than save £6k (or, around 40%) on a brand spanking new car?

I'd put up with a whole heap of shit from the seller to save that kind of cash.

Posted by someone with a single review to their name, back in 2007. Even then it sounds dubious, as I've never known a main dealer to be cheaper than Motorpoint.

Another ancient report - seemingly from someone who had saved many thousands of pounds on a parallel import.

I'll draw your attention to this, from a site moderator:

'Guys, can you all be mindful of your comments re. Motor Point. We've had complaints from them in the past re. certain comments about their service, some which were derogatory and not based on actual facts.'

Which throws into doubt anything that's being posted.

(Ignoring the fact that it's another ancient post and seemingly something which can and does happen in many dealerships across the country every day)

What you're not posting are the many thousands of positive experiences from people who bought new or very nearly brand new cars at nigh on half price (like the MG things they're selling at the moment - £8k for a brand new large hatch... ie. about the price of a half decent Sandero)

A number of years ago I looked at buying from them, as they'd sell me a brand new BMW 525i SE for *a third* of the price BMW wanted for a similar car - specs. weren't exactly matched, as they were imported from the Far East - and they only came with a 2 year aftermarket warranty - but £14k for a brand new 525i was a steal.

I'm beginning to think Barry works for Carcraft.

Or maybe he was fired from Motorpoint for being useless.

OK I have no experience of Motorpoint, but if you want some up to date comments (ie 2013) on one of the original questions (ie is the price negotiable) you might like to look here.

Even there, it appears that at least 1 poster is confusing Motorpoint with Carcraft.

Most things are in your opinion. My used car priced at £ 4995 was overpriced perhaps not stupidly so but overpriced all the same. I reckon it was definitely worth 15% of the original asking price at the time so roughly £

Ignore him Steve, he's just an attention seeker. I've never seen so much crap posted about a single car purchase, even dragging up old threads to continue to feed his disorder.

I thought I made a good point, SteveH does seem to think everything is overpriced. I would liked to have seen him negotiate a 20% discount on my car as they probably paid about £ 3500 for it and would want a bit more than £ 500 profit!

Ah come on Mike I know I am not very intelligent but there's no reason to discriminate against me for it!
