Great trade centre reviews and resources

I had never bought a car before from any car supermarket, but I found this website with thousands of cars on at reasonable prices. If you want a second hand car in perfect condition, don't come to the Great Trade Centre. If you want amazing choice of vehicles at a reasonable price then this is the place for you. I live nowhere near London, but after looking at the website I felt it was well worth a visit. Just make sure you know what make and model of car you want before you turn up - or you may need a weeks holiday to look around. We turned up knowing exactly what we wanted, but it still took us a few hours to decide which car to buy. Out budget was what I would call average (£7000.00) and for this we could get a decent low mileage 2 year old Picasso. You choose the car that you like, go to the help desks with the reg no. and the assistants provide you with a computer generated report of the knowledge they have on previous owners, service history ect. If you are still interested they give you the keys to turn the engine on and look at the inside of the car. If you still like the car that you have picked you can go back to the office and ask to test drive with a salesman. Now I don't know about you, but when I test drive a car I expect to go a few miles in it to get the feel. These guys only take half a mile down the road. A bit of a waste of time! Don't get me wrong, I've not really had any problems with the car I bought and overall I am happy with the service, but this prcess along with the paperwork could be tidied up by them. When you have gone through the process of paperwork for buying the vehicle it goes for servicing which takes approx 2 hours. When this is done you can pay for the car - the worst proccess I have ever seen. You join a queue of people and wait to pay. When you get to the front it seems to take an age to complete payment. Why can't you pay while they are servicing the car?
