Having seen so many bad write ups on them I would never buy a car from them.

Bought a Audi A3 from Car Giant a good few years back, had no issues with them. But it was paid for with car allowance and I was in a rush to get a car.

Second hand car buying is pretty much lucky dip wherever you buy car from unless you are good at spotting issues and know what to look for, even then its not fail safe....  If it can be helped, never rush into a used car, take your time, try and get some decent warranty.

I remember my old man buying a mk3 cavalier tdi about 15 years ago from carcraft (or whatever it was called back then) in Cardiff. Was pissing down on the way back from picking it up, and the wiper motor packed in.  :laugh:

walked into a car craft supermarket with a mate (not for me I prefer bargains)

They tried and tried to sell me a car. I flipped the convo and started selling him the car. Good times  :grin:

Used to work there & some of the cars are not that bad,

Quite a lot were Irish imports when I was there,

Some of the cars were quite well used & just not prept up to a good standard, Lots of little faults both mechanical & body wise that were repaired on the cheap
