hello! went to WHITE CITY, CAR GIANT, there were a dozen Ford Focus cars to choose from all very similar

Went in our Nissan R Reg, they gave us £100 for it and we drove off in a £9000 Ford Focus auto!! brilliant!!

Hello & welcome, hope you enjoy driving your focus as much as I do.

Looking at the photo of your car I'm not sure if I've seen those wheels before, mind I'm always surprised at the different wheel/model combos I see out and about.

Welcome to the site Matey!

cheers Wes, the wheels look pretty clean to me. one of the things that really amazed me was the socket in the passenger glove box where you can insert a data stick. When you press to start the audio system you can also press AUX, the data stick then plays your MP3s! this is pretty nifty !!

We went to Car Giant in LONDON on a bank holiday, the place was pretty busy but they always have plenty of cars to look over, we were taken on a test drive by one of their many staff. I really like the idea that you are buying a reliable car from a reliable dealer - you just go there with your old car, they take the old car off you and you drive out in your new car, so many hassles cut out of the way by doing that

We took the car to a local garage for a full service as we weren't sure what condition it was in totally although it looked brand new, garage found nothing of significance so after that we had a weeks' holiday away in it! marvellous!

Hi Matey,

The cynic in me suspects that you work for Car Giant, judging from the wording in your posts. If not, please do accept my apologies, and enjoy your new Focus. Hope to see you around on the forum. :)

Cheeky. ;)

I've been to Car Giant before, I found it to be a pretty miserable place, but that's just me.

I used to make my customers feel very relaxed and had a laugh with them when i was selling at Fords. I was very often told that i was the nicest salesman they had ever met, my response was always the same "yeah, thats why i hardly make any money!":D

Hi welcome :)

Welcome! Nice car.

However CarGiant is a horrible place to go and buy a car from.

However CarGiant is a horrible place to go and buy a car from.

During my last visit (ages ago), when firing up several cars, nearly half of them had check engine lights or other various warnings get thrown up. You can also tell that a few of the cars have been sitting on the lot since the 20th century. Shady place IMO.
