Agree with Eck, I've done some proper road trips to get cars.

Last time i bought from Evans Halshaw i paid a £100 deposit, they transported the car from Norwich to York. Car was spot on so committed, would they not have transported it to you?

I'm pretty sure most dealerships do this. If you see a car at another branch they can usually get it brought to your closest dealership. Means the company as a whole still gets the sale so there not loosing out.

I did ask this they said no, hence the travelling, I guess as I rang them that dealer wanted the sale. If I'd gone into my local one and asked about it they'd probably of moved it down for me, although either way it was toss
Just been to my local drive vauxhall as they've had some real good examples in so there on the hunt for me.
I don't mind the travelling bar when you get there and it's not what yo were told wasted the whole day and left me £60 out of pocket. On the flip side guess that's the risk you take
Don't want a private sale as want the warranty and peace of mind

See I'd find it so hard to actually trust it's as good as the seller claims especially after this garage fucked me over. I have gone 200 miles 4 hour drive before loved the drive home

Haha; I did the oposite; Bristol to Edingburgh and a drive back.
I have done 4 hours to essex to take one (TVR) look at a car and walked away cos it was so shite! But then the following week a trip to Hull where I bought one and drove it back that day; worth the effort sometimes

Any one purchased a car from these before sparshatts group? Seen a car I'm quite interested in but have never heard of this dealership before. Was kind of hoping to go through vauxhall or a big company.
Or are these guys fairly well known?

Trusted then for the likes of warranty ect? I've never heard of them but like you say after some investigating seems there all based around the south.
