Good Points: The price.
General comments: The car I bought required a new engine & new headlights. The car was not fit for purpose and they should not have sold it to me. No compensation for my time or mileage trying to get the faults diagnosed and rectified was offered.
I spent several weeks and many phonecalls trying to get this dispute resolved. The individuals were always willing enough to help but their obviously dealing with too many cars - they were poor at returning calls and am I left very fustrated with them.
If your car works then great but if it doesn't you're in trouble - I definately wouldn't buy a car from them without taking out an extra period of warranty.
May as well cut out the middle man and buy direct from an auction.

I visited The Car People in Ashton mid week, it was quiet and there were 5 - 6 sales people in the showroom (which you have to go through to get to where the cars are), however apart from saying hello; not one of them hassled us.
We were free to roam around and have a good look at all the cars on the lot. Which is set out really well in sections such as super mini, family, 4 x 4 etc.
Back in the showroom they have computer terminals so that you can check stock from all over the group. We did th ...

We were looking for a car last december 2007 after our old vauxhall was written off. after looking at the Car People website we made a visit to their Ashton-under-Lyne branch, its unbelievable the amount of cars they have in. We looked around with no pressure put on us at all, the staff were so helpful. The prices are fantastic compared to a new one. We are so pleased with our new Vauxhall Astra estate. We certainly recommend them.

We bought a Nissan Nivara for £14k from The Car People on 28th September 2007. The vehicle wasn't even fit for purpose. It didn't start first time (which they must have been aware of as they'd started it up around the corner and left it running for my test drive) and lost power whilst driving. They also managed to botch a paint job on the tailgate between my test drive and me collecting the car. When I bought it I told them I wanted it to tow my caravan. I am frightened to put my two small ...

As long as you do your research thoroughly and have a good idea of prices for the car you would like then I would highly recommend taking a look at The Car People Car Supermarket. We actually came away with a car we didn't even consider before hand, but such was the price and quality of this other car, we ended up with something else far more practical (and cheaper) than we had set out for.
Do your homework then take a look around here...we went a few times without any pressure whatsoever to si ...

The Car People, Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester is well situated, near to the M60, once there, there are no problems parking. I purchased my Citroen from them in May 2005 and have had no problems to date, touch wood. I certainly would have no hesitation to buy from them again. However, always remember if the car you are after is not there, ask one of the sales team if they could obtain one for you, you never know, and there is always another day to look round, the stock is always changing.

I bought a car from them in Nov 05 and it is the best car showroom I have every dealt with in the 6years I have been driving. They promise they will not approach you and this is very true. There is always someone around if you need them but you are under no pressure even when you ask for the keys to look inside the cars. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I was so happy with the service provided that for other members of my family have bought cars from them. Recommended to take a look round t ...
