thebees Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 DW Cars are ace, cheap, cheerful and he always has a varied stock of 'normal' cars. Bye David White, we went there once but he was very stubborn over his inflated price on a Carina so we left & didn't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi Everyone,yes it looks like David White at Snugborough has gone...not too sure why but would like to add that David White Cars is nothing to do with D.W Cars Ltd, based at Rosemount Douglas...they have been going for 30 odd years or so and have some great low mileage cars bikes and vans in i remember that place as elm tree motors, frank crompton was the man there then, that was around 25 years ago i reckon,possibly less. certainly not been DW cars for 30 years.

Nitro Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 did rich step into the fourum and out of the closet in only 2 posts .is this a record?? To try and promote DW cars?...............yes. I looked at a couple of cars from DW cars, the one I fancied had no log book or any service book/info, I was told this was due to someone mislaying the document folder (another customer apparently!), whether that was true or not I have no idea, I walked away at that point as I see no reason why a service book needs to leave the car!

I wouldn't let that bother you, there's no need for a driver's door lock, spare wheel or the ignition barrel to leave the vehicle either but I've owned plenty of well priced cars without one or all of them & never had a problem. As long as it's got four wheels & the manufacturer's badge on the front is the same as the one on the back then she's worth a punt. Never pay more than 150 quid though & always make sure it's got atleast half a tank of fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Bespoke Sales are on the East Quay where City cars traded, they advertise in the papers every week and trade seems quite vibrant, they also have a workshop on the trading estate near B and Q.

dave1978 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I think you will find a few changes this year in the car sales industry. What, like they start charging what a car is worth rather than +40% ? I mean come on!!! :- http://www.bespokegroup.im/stock.php?id=231 http://www.dunstablecarcentre.co.uk/used-cars/vauxhall-tigra-1-8i-16v-sport-2dr-dunstable-201142422916636 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave1978 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It is absolutely ridiculous. Try and trade in a car an they will give you 'glasses guide' UK prices and then try and rip you off with manx prices with your next motor. Take the Vauxhall Tigra example above - expect to be offered circa £2000 best case scenario at trade in but if you were buying it, itd cost you nearly £7k. It is quite frankly ridiculous and disgusting and I am looking forward to the bastards going out of business this year when peple finally wise up with the other cuts. How they have the nerve to try and fob you off with UK trade in prices and then attempt to charge you practically twice the going rate is beyond me. WHO PAYS THESE PRICES! Have a day out in civilisation and save yourself literally thousands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
