Personal and friendly attitude of Sales Adviser, Lewis Chapman. Very competitive deal on a new Ford Puma. I appreciated being able to phone him on a direct line rather than going through the seemingly usual telephone experience of clicking on various numbers to speak to a person.

This is my second purchase (through…

This is my second purchase (through Julian) at FCD, qualifying as a veteran (ex RAF Chief Technician). Once again using FCD website I was able to rapidly drill down to through brands to each model of interest. Some great deals are available especially for BMW and Audi. Deals for each possible configuration are listed with RRP, saving and FCD price along side. Once selected you can then see the equipment and technical specification. Having selected a BMW model and contacted Julian he directed me to the manufacturer's configuration website to specify specifically the model and engine option as well as colour and trim options etc. Once completed I passed the configurator link to Julian who obtained an offer price from BMW, a massive saving unobtainable elsewhere.
