I bought a faulty car from them, the problem surfaced a month after the purchase and I'm still chasing them, a year later (!!!) to have it fixed or returned!! They ignore every single approach. Avoid them for your own good

Beware of this car dealer-bought a BMW 320d last year-within 2 months the timing chain broke.At first they said the warranty was only valid for 1 month on cars with over 100,000 miles,even though the"salesman" told me 3 months. They refused to pay the repair costs,saying the car should have been returned to them(Devon to Nottingham)but as I had been lied to on several occasions I wasn't happy about them collecting the car. They then instructed solicitors and I went to arbitration(waste of time!) They offered £500,then £300 and then nothing! Use another dealer is my advice.

I found a car online and took a chance I arranged finance and we picked it up. Simple as that they even put a bow on it on request and were very helpful I would recommend Ideal Car in Nottingham.

First let me point out that I knowingly bought a Cat D it was advertised on autotrader as such but not on the dealer website, of course they would have told me but think it should have been advertised as such, I love the car, not happy with the problems, dealer said they would sort out the recall then said they're unable to do so as a dealer, I spoke to BMW a couple of days ago and it's a lie, anyone can sort out the recall, the car developed an oil leak after 3 weeks ownership but only 2 weeks on the road quoted £300 + VAT to fix, inform dealer but not interested, point out also that 2 locking wheel nuts missing plus locking nut key also missing, get email from dealers lawyer, now I have lost trust I put the car in for a service, just had a call from the garage, brake pads badly worn, front and rear brake discs badly pitted front and rear, so more expense, dealer did offer to fix oil leak but I don't have the time to go back and forth to Nottingham or they offered £100 toward repair, next option was alternative dispute resolution costing £49.50 but I wouldn't be allowed to leave a review and I think its important that customers can make an informed decision, looks like I will have to sort out all the problems then go and see my own lawyer

"Bizarre experience"

The only good part to my experience with Ideal Car is that the £250 deposit I had paid to reserve a Skoda Roomster on ebay was refunded instantly, however I feel I should still warn others about my experience. After paying the deposit by bank transfer I did a little googling about this dealer and came across these reviews which made me a little concerned. I was due to travel up from Cambridge by train tomorrow to pick up the car, but decided to take a trip to Nottingham today to check out the car first. I was greeted by the guys and the car was ready for me to expect. As I walked up to it alarm bells were ringing as paintwork on the rear nearside door and wing clearly didn’t match the rest of the car. It wasn’t hard to confirm that a bodywork repair had been done because the workmanship was so terrible. It can’t have been done by a professional. The paint also looked pretty flat on the nearside front door. I reckon the myopic clown who did the repair probably made a bad attempt at blowing it in the make the ‘join’ less obvious. In addition to this there were a couple of dents on the drivers door. It beggars belief that a car sales business would put a car in this state up for sale. This is the sort of thing you may expect to come across with a private sale. A waste of half a day and a few gallons of fuel.
