Hello, i have had a completely different experience of Liveridge. Like all dealers their prices are more expensive than a private purchase, of course as you do get the comfort of a warranty with your purchase, and actually the extended warranty at the cost of £170.00 is well worth it if you are buying any car that is over 10 years old.
I have now bought 9 cars from Liveridge and on the whole they have been fault free for the first year at least. My fleet are used excessively and as such things do go wrong and when they do Liveridge either advise me or indeed put the problems right cheaply if they are outside the warranty period.
Two of my purchases have been full refurbishments, and i have to say they look absolutely mint. The last one i had done i was offered 2k more from an acquaintance than i actually paid and as such i made a quick buck!!!
In my humble opinion I have tried other dealers such as Nene and Symonites and found Liveridge's labour rates cheaper. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone...
