Had a browse today and, although they are not exactly giving them away they are quite a bit cheaper than the prices quoted on Parkers. Now, I know Parkers tend to overestimate a bit, but I reckon you could still save a bob or two:

Edit: Forgot to say...no trade-in and no test drive.

Strangely...they don't seem to have any omegas. ;D

For many reasons I would not touch them, and certainly if test drives are not an option! ::) ::) ;)

Well I would use them if I were in the market. I doubt you'd get the 'used car dealer' service, they couldn't afford the publicity, especially as they are a fledgeling company in this market.

I am not so sure Steve ::) ::)

I wouldn't trust Tesco with anything, especially when it comes to selling cars and providing a good after care service; they cannot do that in their own stores!! ::) ::) ::)

But, hey I am dead biased against them for various reasons, including from a professional retailers point of view! ::) :D :D :D ;)

They are not offering any afterservice. One months warranty. ::)

In that case I certainly would not go down that route! ::) ::) ::) ::)  What a gamble you would be taking! :-X :-X

Not as much of a gamble as a private sale.

My opinion of Tesco was shattered having found a mango I bought there to be rotten to the stone. [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

Oh no! They probably only sell rusty cars then. ::) ;D

As usual, Tesco find a niche they haven't yet dominated and enter it, minded to snuff out any competition and then drive quality down and prices up. >:(

Surely only a total idiot would buy a used car without a test drive nor any real comeback  (unless it was stupidly cheap). I guess some will see the big brand name and trust it, though. Oh, it's OK - you can return it in the first 7 days*

Depends on the size of the adults. ::)

You can watch an AA man doing a test drive, just ask for a really fat one. ;D

My Mum test drove one of those and complained it was gutless. :o

That might not sound too odd, unless you know my Mum's driving style. If she complains about a car it normally means it's missing a wheel. ;D
