Thread: Reliable used car place

  1. #1

    Reliable used car place

    Any recommendations within Cardiff?

    Some idiot decided to smash into the back of my car today, ignoring the fact that even thought the lights were green people weren't moving. The sod has a SA1 postcode to make it even better.

    That's a real bugger

    How much are you looking to spend and what do you need?

    If nearly new I'd point you towards Motorpoint in Newport as most of their cars are still within Manufacturers Warranty. There are some real bargains to be had there

    Cheers - least wasn't injured. The guy admitted liability, in that he couldn't exactly claim otherwise... so that should help. Bright side is his had an oil leak, possible radiator damage so as his same age as mine will prob be written off so he can go through the same shit I am.

    Budget is around £1500 - which is obviously a massive problem. Credit card close to maxed, in bank overdraft. Got new job which helps, but digging out of a hole right now. My old car I was running into ground - 03 reg, 153k but the engine ran pretty smoothly. Of course it means the valuation of it is somewhat between **** all and "you having a laugh?".

    There are some good second hand dealers in Bridgend and Barry .....there is one on broad Street but I can't remember it's name

    Avoid compact cars in Bridgend at waterton cross at all costs

    If you are fekd for a motor there is a scrap yard that sells em super cheap by the Vale Council Dept in Wenvoe, by the lane to go into Ely. They look OK. I can't say any more really you would have to look but he always has motors around 300 to 500. Might do until your new job kicks in properly mate. Run into the ground jobs or give it back 2 him. Good luck anyway.
