MB Direct-Waltham Cross

Marcos

Did you get a chance to look?

Despite my comments ,I am still trying to buy this car,your input would help.
Anyone else near this Dealership?

Went to Ballsall Common Yesterday whilst in Brum.It was not very impressive.Very used car ,not what I would expect from MB!

Thanks
Barry

Barry, PM me and I will give you the number of a decent bloke in MB Direct B'ham (Erdington, not Balsall Common). If a deal can be done he will do it. I have bought 3 cars from him now and never regretted any of them.
I agree the BC depot is a bit tatty but they have some lovely machinery there. I almost fell for a sexy S class whilst looking at a E350. Loads of cars but they spent all of 3 quid on buying the site.

Dom.

Spoke to Erdingto ,they could do nothing.Balsall suggested I go direct to Waltham as it was their car and taking spin Bowler`s advice I used the end of the month try.Worked a treat.

Are we talking Balsall common or Walham Cros? Car is at Waltham Cross

It would be brilliant.I spoke with them tonight and have done a good deal.Not having seen the physical car yet,I have left a deposit.You could be my eyes,Not putting any onus on you.

I will PM you my details.

Thanks
Barry


Just had a nice chat with Barry, I'll pop along in the morning and have a good look over the car.
 
Well deal is done,Got the paperwork and a huge Thanks to RichardM who checked the vehicle over for me and alerted a few points.The Garage have agreed to sort anything out(rust on discs,Rusty wheel nuts.I will now Know to check these out when I pick it up.

Thanks to Richard and the Forum ,this is what makes it such a great site to visit.

Nice to hear about your purchase Barry :)
Im looking to buy a used car from MB Direct. Seen quite a few i like but not 100% sure to go ahead, because im so far away from most of their garages. I would like to be able to look at the actual car properly before putting the £500 holding deposit on it. They all say that the deposit is subject to me viewing etc etc, but i've heard that they dont refund you your money as quick as they take it from you.

Please let us know how you get on with the collection etc.

P.S
Does anyone know if all the MB Direct garages do free delivery?
Is it nationwide? Do they deliver on the back of a trailer or do they drive it?

I was like you ,I am in Glasgow but the right car was in London.Richard M kindly took pics for me.I am unhappy with some,but I have written a fax to them clearly pointing out all concerns ,leaving the onus on them to get it sorted or be honest about any problems.

I believe they do deliver ,but I was not offered it .I have now asked,but I got a good deal and have a trade in they have not seen.

I will let you know the final outcome

Yes, I can vouch for that!

The two cars I bought from them in the last two years were both bought unseen. Some cars just come up with the right spec at the right time and seem good value! There were just some very small niggles (drivers seat not spotless on one, and a spare key missing on the other) but both were sorted quickly. I was honest with the description of my trade-ins and there were no problems on valuation.
Rest easy...I found they do just what it says on their header.:)
Great that another forum member could be your eyes for you.....we like helpful!:D
 
Well,Just had the SLK delivered fom Waltham Cross.They had sent it oon its way before I could get RichardM to inspect it.They have painted the wheel nuts & caliper bolts,these will probably have rusted again by end of winter.Wheels have been refurbished and paint is peeling.Valve rubbers are painted silver,so poor job there.I have spoken with the General manager who is going to get my local Garage to refurb them.This is an 11 month old car!

Otherwise the car is in good nic,everything there and they even suppied floor mats,serviced it (its now done 10500 miles) and delivered it/picked up the PX and returned to London.That has been good service along with the good deal I got.Rear tyres seem to be fairly new too.

was not informed about my plate change which has yet to happen as I paid for this and for plate,but I am told they will send these to me.

Overall they have been helpful,but feel the sales guy just wnted to sell it and get it out.The guys who drove it up said they were under sales pressure at the present to get cars moving.Now may be the time for you to get some good deals.
