Looking at a couple of replacement cars and Motorpoint are offering some great deals. Anyone brought a car through them. Seems that most of their cars are European imports, anyone had issues with insurance on European imports?.

 

Dawn used Motorpoint, I think.

No issues with insurance on the Euro import for me - with Direct Line at least. Others have reported issues, although I would suggest that insurers who have an issue with a genuine Euro import of UK spec don't know their arse from there tit!

 

I used them for the CRV.

My mate's now used them three times and has nothing but praise for them.

He does tend to buy boring tat though...

 

Definitely talk to Dawn.

The cars are already priced to sell.

 

I can see they've got a couple of blacks & a bermuda in -

 

BG are showing five online - two of which are second hand. Not that that means they actually have the stock, of course! May have been sold and the site hasn't been updated. Well worth checking out though. Less than

 

Hi there

I did indeed buy my car from Motorpoint.

Things to check for are:

1. They sometimes pre-register the vehicles which means you are in effect the second owner. I specified that I had to be the first owner of the vehicle or it was no deal - ask though and get them to e-mail you this in writing.

2. Motorpoint are non negotiable - the price is cheap and that's what you get it for. i tried to haggle constantly with no luck.

3. The final price they quote you will include a cost of
