    I bought a car from Fords of Winsford in August, I specifically asked if it had had accdent damage and was told NO
    It turns out the car is a AVIS hire car like 80% of their cars, and as such they self insure - meaning that accident damaged cars are not flagged. So when you and I pay £48 to the AA or HPI for a car check it turns out clean when in fact the car is a shed
    Beware of what you are buying - try a main dealer in comparison

    I bought a VW 2004 car from Fords Of Winsford last year and a rear wheel arch panel now is disintergrating into rust. Local body shop tell me that it had been replaced and and not resprayed well enough,hence rust., and additionally the front wing had been resprayed. Of course none of this was in the car advert/info description and wasn't noticable to this average bloke. I am currently investigating where I stand with regards to the mis-selling of goods...

    It ' s my first purchase from Fords Of Winsford, my car is a Focus CMax. Lovely and is like new. Its 05 so is actually 3 years old but they have cleaned it up lovely and its shiny new....All my friends have said I have got a really good deal with the car which I agree. Very low mileage I have the full service history. I would definitely be going again in about 4-5 years when I need to re-new. My mum and Dad bought a car from there 15 years ago and still have it now. They have never had any probl ...

    You can spend all day looking round FOW if you wanted to. Absolutely no pressure to buy and it's very relaxed. Also can't fault them for After Sales care. Fantastic customer serivce.

    Very expensive now, had bought several cars over the years off Fords Of Winsford, all with little trouble however was extremely insulted by an offer on a car worth trade value 750 pounds more than they offered. Far cheaper and an overall much better deal at most main dealers.
    Slick outfit that is now taking advantage of punters by in my opinion ripping them off with poor part exchange values and dear cars.

    Some years ago, I purchased a Ford Mondeo Estate from Fords of Winsford. My trade-in car was in poor condition so was offered trade value which was a very fair offer. Overall then, I was a very satisfied customer. Recently, I returned to them seeking a Focus Estate, and with a decent trade-in car. I was shocked : the trade-in offer was miserable and most of their Focus Estate cars I looked at had some sort of visible accident damage. One car had an "interesting" number of tyre makes fitted! My l ...

    My wife and I paid our first and, what will be, only visit to the FOW car supermarket yesterday.
    We had cash in our back pocket and were confident that we would be able to do a good part-ex deal and upgrade her car. Initial impressions of the site were good and we felt like kids in a sweet shop. The layout and vehicle information provided was excellent. We had done some research the night before on the net and knew beforehand which vehicles (Volvos) we wanted to look at. The first disappointment ...

    Visited Fords of Winsford at the weekend for the first time. The first thing that strikes you is the size of the place, it's huge. The next thing is that they have pictures of the Magic Roundabout characters everywhere? Very odd I thought. They describe it as the friendly car buying experience or something. Well after two hours of looking around various cars, I had not been approached by one salesman, not even to say a friendly hello.
    I asked to speak to somebody about a Golf and was told to go ...

    I bought an 07 Vectra SRI which on comparison with Arnold Clark Vauxhall came in at a £1500 better deal. The size of the place is huge. If you are not sure what car you are after you may be there some time - child in a sweet shop.

    I have been a party to two car purchases here from Fords Of Winsford and I have to say if you have no idea what you want it is great because you can compare all sorts of cars. However, do your homework first. Don't expect the salesmen to know everything about every car because they are not specialists. Pile em high and sell em cheap is what they do here. Main dealers pamper and charge more so take your pick! On both occasions we got good deals and I would always buy cars from here!
    I have worke ...

    Fords of Winsford (FOW) is big. Very big. The first time I visited was on a quiet Tuesday morning. It was bitterly cold, very windy, there had been a heavy dew and the sun was blindingly low in the sky. As I looked out over the sweeping forecourt of so many cars I wondered what I should buy.

    Why I was there
    ---------------------

    I was at FOW since my car (an MG ZR) had been written off just before Christmas, and I was due a financial settlement. I picked up a stock-list at the entrance ...

    I am in the process of buying a car from Fords Of Winsford, paid the deposit on a car worth 5399, my seperate finance company paid the rest entirely yesterday and now I find that Fords Of Winsford has no V5 document for the car and it will take 4 - 6 weeks to get a new one. and they did not tell me while I asked abou the car and test drove it, they did not tell me when I paid the deposit, but now 1 day before pick up I find out. THANKS FOW for nothing, now I have to get lifts somehow to work for ...

    I purchased an MGZT from FOW in March 2003 and accepted the deal that was on offer. As my car was only equipped with an emergency "tyreweld" repair kit (and didn't have a spare wheel) I was told by the salesman concerned that I would receive a 'spacesaver' wheel as soon as they could order one. Needless to say, this did not arrive - they argued that this was not a standard option fitted to the car!

    Furthermore, due to the fact that my trade-in car had a private registration (which was being ...
