As I seem to live much of my life through the recommendations of my fellow NSC-ers, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good 'ol honest used car dealership in the Brighton area. My budget is about 5k and I need something cheaper to run than my old 4x4.

I know a couple of people who have brought cars from Woodbourne Motors who have been very happy.

Lighthouse motors overpriced and poor after sales service. Their Warranty is an absolute farce.
Have bought 2 cars, mine and missus, from Wholesale Motors on Portland road and they have great after sales and also a decent warranty.

Think you will struggle to get a new car for 5k in Britain.
You can get the nano in India and have change left over though

If i were you i would seriously consider buying from here British Car Auctions


I have purchased my last 2 cabs from their auction house at Blackbushe , both were ex company/lease cars , 1 owner from new , full main dealer service history etc , etc and both have given me 100,000 + miles for general wear and tear (starters , brakes , tyres , clutch)
Should you buy from the auction you will cut out the middle man (garage/forecourt) and save yourself the £500.00 + they bung on top :wink:

Downside is the drive , probably 1 hour 30 from Brighton to either Paddock Wood or Blackbushe , but well worth a look at the website at the very least .

might not have much in your budget but car supermarket in Crawley has a great range so you get to see about 500 cars at once. I bought a couple of cars from there never any problems
