I spotted a 4 year old Saab 9-3 convertible with high mileage advertised on Auto-trader by Park Road Garage in Bedford. I am far from being an expert on cars , but took the car out for a lengthy test drive and all seemed well, so with the garage including a free 3 month parts and labour warranty, together with seeing it had a full service history and an HPI check confirmed there were no issues to be wary of, I decided to buy it and paid using a VISA card in case of any issues occurring after I had bought it. Thankfully, almost three weeks in, there have been no issues.
I am happy with the price I paid for the car, which reflected the high mileage. I was also pleasantly surprised that the garage gave me the price I wanted to trade in my old car. These guys are easy to deal with and I would not hesitate to do business with them again.
I had (thankfully) already bought my new car from them, before reading their reviews. Some of the reviews I read were so damning that I would most likely have not made the trip up there from Potters Bar, if I had read them beforehand, as I would have done normally when dealing with someone I don't know. When I returned to collect the car and deliver my old car, I asked the salesman about the negative reviews and he informed me that they were bogus reviews made by a disgruntled competitor. Based upon the distinct contrast between the excellent service I received compared with the content of the negative reviews, I am inclined to believe that unfortunately these guys are indeed the victim of malicious reviews. When I was there they had an extensive stock of mid to high end vehicles and you only need to look around their stock to see that they are legitimate.
This is a genuine review I have at time of posting this review, no connection or relationship with anyone connected with this dealer, other than in relation to my purchase as detailed above. Whilst I am unable to comment on other customers experiences, my own experience has left me extremely dubious about those reviews which appear to have a common theme of advising would be customers to "steer clear" or "stay away". Go take a look and make up your own mind
