General comments: 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 and sit in a waiting area until someone was free? I waited half an hour and still nothing. I asked another member what was going on. She gave me a snappy reply as if she was doing me a favour? I smiled at her and walked out of the door. I was holding a leaflet with Dillon from the Magic Roundabout saying "don't be a dillon". I couldn't have put it better myself!

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 ...
