Question Which is the best car supermarket?

Parents are looking to buy a new run around for the city...

Something small easy to park and cheap and cheerful to run

Anybody know of any good Car supermarkets doing good deals on small cars right now?

Cheers mi dears,

Plums....

I don't know about car supermarkets, but I have been getting good quotes from United Counties recently. They supply UK sourced cars.

Give them a look.......

I'd use a broker for a UK car, 3 years warranty etc. rather than risking a supermarket, there's not much in it these days
Try www.drivethedeal.co.uk there's a function on the website where you put in your budget and it comes back with all the cars.

I just bought a new ford KA (pre-reg but only two miles) (got an v.excellent deal)
car supermarkets couldn't compete with local main Ford dealer - and the attitude on the phone of the car supermarkets was take it or leave it (so I did) + surprisingly the ford dealer was brilliant.

if your interested in who it was and where - drop me an e.mail and I'll give you contact and name details.

dac.clay@virgin.net
its in Yorkshire if thats not too far (always worth a drive if you get the right deal anyway)

Bought a couple of cars from www.mh2k.com

If they are not bothered about performance they had some delivery milage Skoda Fabia 1.2 64bhp with ambient spec including aircon and cd for £6999.

you could of course cut the s/markets out and go direct to where they get most of there stock from.......the Fleet Auctions....a bit of prep (none in the case of the Trade Centre), throw in a rubbish warranty, squeeze you on Finance and hey Presto loadsa money....convenient, thats all.
