Hi Peeps,
I've had VERY BAD experiences with both companies (although must admit that I would always try and steer away from former lease cars anyhow due to the way they are often, but not always, treated).
Bristol Trade Centre were offering a W Plate Golf GTi 1.8T for ?8k last September and seemed to think that was competitive. It had done 110k miles and the front wings and bonnet had obviously been painted (the finish just didn't match). I think what go t me was the sales guy's consistant denial that any paintwork had been carried-out and it was OBVIOUS that it had been!
This may not apply to all their stock, but I would buy from them with with caution mate.
Maybe someone on here could take some pics of it for you first to save ya the journey? [:#]
