J&I Car Sales ltd

1, Maxwell Rd, Plymouth PL4 0SN, UK – 01752 255600

I was recommended to speak to the guys at J & I regarding purchasing a new vehicle. I visited the office and from the moment of entering every single member of staff were very happy, polite, courteous, helpful and very knowledgeable. The two gentlemen I dealt with, were so lovely and worked hard at helping me drive away in the car I had set out to find. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I was even kindly picked up and taken to the office on the day of collection. At no point, did I feel pressurised into buying a car or any add ons. Everything was explained clearly and I felt extremely confident when driving away in my new car.... one very very happy customer. I would definitely recommend J & I Car Sales. Thank you so much guys :)

Nice selection of cars at reasonable prices but salesmen a bit pushy with gap insurance warranty etc but all in all I would recommend

Russell Ham

Britannia Garage, 4 Wolseley Road, Milehouse, Plymouth PL2 3BH, UK – 01752 561905

Absolutely brilliant, put the car in for a cam belt, and my air intake box had a crack in it, which I had been meaning to take care of. Without even mentioning it, or charging for it, they repaired it. No attempt to capitalise on it, they just seem to want to look after there customers. My mother bought a car from Russel Ham a few years ago, and took it in for a repair a number of years later, well outside of warranty, they noticed a brake light had gone, and replaced it, again, without charging, or trying to get "brownie points" for it, they were simply looking after there customer. Could not recommend more highly.

Had an issue and they resolved it as quickly as they could! Nice and friendly, efficient, decent prices. Would definitely go to them again. Cheers guys :)

Russell Ham

112 Laira Bridge Road, Plymouth PL4 9LR, UK – 01752 672722

I have been taking my cars to Russel Ham for years so when i needed a replacement i was happy to try them. I have now had this car for nearly 5 years and, other than the usual break pads etc i have never had a problem. When my daughter needed a car i took her here and she was delighted with the choice and the lack of pressure selling. She has had this car for 6 months and is delighted. Although they provide finance, they advised that we should try elsewhere first as theirs was quite expensive. The Service and MOT offer was a bonus.

Always great service. I know the team work closely with trading standards to help ensure quality. It is unfortunate that some people are not always totally honest about the help they have been given. All cars, even new, can have problems and faults and this team always do their best to rectify when any fault LAYS with them.

What are you rights when your buy a used car?
The Citizen's Advice Bureau have an excellent and comprehensive section on their website. If you find something wrong after purchasing a used car It’s worth knowing that you’ll still have legal rights even if you don’t do the proper checks. If there’s something wrong with your used car you may have a legal right to a repair or some or all of your money back.

Make sure a trader is trustworthy
If you’re buying from a trader look for an established firm with links to trade associations like the Retail Motor Industry Federation or a sign that says they follow The Motor Ombudsman's code of practice look for a trader with cars inspected by an independent engineer or motoring organisations.

Buying from an auction
Auctions are the riskiest way of buying a used car as you probably won’t have the legal protection that you have buying through a trader. Ensure that you read the auction house’s T and Cs before buying a car.

Check a car’s history

Check the car’s details with the DVLA
  • Ask the seller for the car’s registration number
  • MOT test number
  • mileage
  • make and model
Use the DVLA’s free online vehicle information checker to make sure what the seller tells you matches the DVLA’s records.

Check the MOT and history
You should check that MOT tests have been done regularly throughout the car’s history. Check this on GOV.UK. This is a free service.

Get a private history check.
These will cost up to £20 – but they can be worth it! This will give you valuable information about serious problems the car might have including if:
the car has been stolen
the seller still owes money on the car
the car has been in a serious accident
the car is showing the correct mileage
the car has been written off

Inspect the car and take a test drive
You should arrange to view the car in daylight, preferably when it’s dry - it’s harder to spot damage to the car if it’s wet. It’s a good idea to meet at a private seller’s house so that if something goes wrong after you’ve bought the car, you’ll have a record of their address.

The AA has a useful checklist for what to look out for when inspecting a used car and its paperwork. Make sure you ask about the car’s service history.

Always take the car for a test drive.
Drive for at least 15 minutes on different types of road. The AA has a checklist for what to look out for when taking a test drive. If you’re still not sure - get an independent report
However, you can go a step further and get an independent report on the car. This will give you detailed information about the car’s condition and will cost around £100 to £200 an are available from motoring organisations like the AA
