Had some bad news with my cars engine today, (it is over 18 years old so it was bound to give up the ghost at some point) so am starting too look for a new/used model. Been looking about and seen there's a dealership called 'UK Car Club ltd' on shooters hill near the sun in the sands. cant see any reviews on the web for them so just wondered if anybody has had any experience with them before? If they're trustworthy and reasonably priced?

thanks in advance.

    My advice would be to get yourself a brand new Hyundai for 100 quid a month, with 5 year warranty mate.

    sounds pretty good, but I don't think you own the car at the end of the contract. not from what I can see anyway.

    Imo leasing is the way forward. Hassle free motoring

    Erm? Absolutely no!! Put them in room 101 with Estate Agents and folk who eat popcorn in the cinema!! Scourge on bloody society.

    Is it ok to eat popcorn outside the cinema?

    @Karim_myBagheri you've probably seen the companies house info which gives the names of the directors, their dates of birth, date of incorporation and no outstanding charges as at the last annual return however one is due shortly.

    In the old days you could obtain a status report on a business through your bank which if all good would say something like 'good for normal business engagements including your figure and purpose'.

    Not sure if this service is still available though but you can of course always request an AA or RAC vehicle check or have a quick look here http://www.confused.com/vehicle-check Good luck.

    18 years old? Think its about time you upgraded to an Austin Allegro or Maxi, most models come with cassette player as standard

    @Karim_myBagheri subsequently found that this dealer also has premises (half a dozen cars up an alley on Google maps) at Manor Park E126AD https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/uk-car-club

    If you want to buy a used motor go to Car Giant.

    Bought a car from him 18 months ago. Would definitely recommend him.

    I'm waiting for something similar to happen to my car, but still have a few years before it 18 years old.

    I bought my first ever car from Ray Morris in Welling (near big Tesco). I know it's not Shooters Hill but it's on the same long long long road! (bloody Romans!) Mainly automatics but they do a few manuals. Seemed good at the time (25 years ago mind you!) and has been there years without changing it name.

    If you lease then be careful of the mileage limitation. Normally you're only allowed to drive 6k per year without incurring penalties. That is a no deal for me which is why I'm now saving up for a pre registered for when my darling finally goes.

    Good luck

    My present car is an 08 plate, and I searched on the internet for used cars. I bought it as used from a main Ford dealer in Gillingham with 25 miles on the clock at a massive discount.
    Used, with twenty five miles on the clock, all the usual warranties minus about four months.

    Just to confirm its CaMbridge Motors for the record, mis-typed on my phone!
