'My wife and I drove to Barrow from the Yorkshire coast to pick up our Ford Galaxy this weekend. Due to time restrictions we weren't able to take up the offer of overnight accommodation, but it was an excuse to take lunch in the nearby Lake District anyway.
Having searched car dealers thoroughly for the right car for us, we settled for a car from Furness Park and we did most of the deal on the telephone with Grant Dixon. We were looking particularly for a very low mileage used vehicle. Everything he said was straightforward and because we had a car to part exchange, we had to be perfectly honest and straighforward with him, as he gave us a very fair part ex price over the telephone, based on our evaluation of our old car.
When we arrived, he was clearly happy with our evaluation of our old car and we were happy with the very competitive price on the new car. We spent approximately one hour on the Furness Park site finalising our purchase and then drove our new car home. The car was ready and well prepared and for once, I did not have to make a call to locate missing parts, accessories or manuals etc.
This has to be the easiest and most straightforward car purchase I have ever made. When we trade our car in the future, I'll certainly be looking to Furness Park first. If only all car dealers worked this way.'
