Cash purchase of new private car

This is my second purchase from Forces Cars Direct and on each occasion the service received has been professional and helpful. The process from order to delivery was explained clearly along with how my trade-in vehicle sale would be managed. In addition, the discount on manufacturer's retail price was substantial. I would recommend this company.

Very easy and hassel free

Very easy to navigate and select what i liked and put into a comparison.

Once i had picked what i was after, the rest was carried out by FCR's team which made it hassel free.

It was easier than going to a show room / dealership.

New car

I’ve brought my last 3 cars from Forces Car Direct they are great value for money although on some models you have to wait a while but others are on par with the dealerships and at a price that they can’t match. My sales representative Lewis has always been great.

As we order direct with the manufacturers we are still in-line with standard build times for cars and some are quicker than others. Our team will always talk through any stock availability or build times though.
