Didn't honour their offer on a perfect car.....

Ellie in the Office was excellent as was Wayne who came to collect the car. Unfortunately, after 2 hours of appraising and test driving the car (as new, 18 months old, 4,600 miles ) there was an issue with the office and it transpired the Dealer who was buying the car from PCBS pulled out. After numerous calls and delays they agreed to purchase the car for their own stock at £1500 less than agreed - I declined this offer on principal. Be mindful of this if asking them to buy your car.

These guys work ridiculously quick

These guys work ridiculously quick. Comms the whole time was top notch and the guys that came out were friendly and professional.

Really spent some time doing detailed checks and test drive, found a few defects that I wouldn’t say were as big as they made out, but due to them knocked me down on price. So be prepared that as transparent as you think you’ve been, they will still try and drive a hard bargain on your car. I’d advise going over your own car with a fine tooth comb and sending them EVERYTHING up front.

The defects they flagged were genuinely minor things I’d never have noticed but they used them to negotiate the price down beyond what I feel it would cost to repair, so just be prepared for that.

For transparency, their initial price was £21,500 but final offer was £19,850 based on an additional 2 incredibly small dents on the folds of 2 doors, and a scuffed aluminium fog light surround.

Overall, I would probably use them again purely for the convenience and speed of the whole thing. We agreed on the knocked down price and had the money within 15 minutes whilst standing on the drive.
