Untrustworthy and Terrible Garage

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE BUYING FROM STOCKSFIELD MOTOR COMPANY. After seeing a good looking VW golf advertised by this dealership through autotrader, similarly to another reviewer on autotrader, i decided to travel 3 hours to come and view the car. Upon arrival I was surprised to find the car dirty inside and out (you would expect an effort to be made by a dealer after a viewing had been arranged a few days prior). I asked why this was and was given terrible excuses about the garage being next to a “very busy road” which somehow affected how dirty the car was. From what I was told over the phone and what was shown in the pictures in the advert, the car was in great condition. This wasn’t the case at all. I found out that one of the owners had been using the car as his personal vehicle for what seemed to be a long time due to the state the car was in (it didn’t look like it had been cleaned in weeks, had scratches, a dent on the bumper and peeling paint on the wheels). I was told that there was 2 warning lights for the ABS and ESP (traction control) which weren’t mentioned on the advert. I also asked the owners about how they came about the car, to which they both couldn’t give a straight answer (this for me is a BIG WARNING sign that I was dealing with very untrustworthy people). The staff were very rude, to the point in which I was called “a little shit” after politely telling them i wasn’t interested in the car for the reasons previously mentioned. I wish that i would have read the reviews on here before making such a long wasted journey, as it seems other people have had similar experiences with this dealership. I hope this review helps to keep people away from this untrustworthy and horrible garage.
