Southams of Oswaldtwistle

I am thinking of buying a car from Southams of Oswaldtwistle, but I live miles away and know nothing about them. Are they a good, reputable company please. If anyone can give me their thoughts and advice it would be most welcome. Thank you. Jue

Tip No 1 - never buy 'owt from anyone in Ossy.

Jue · 04-08-2010, 21:24

Are you joking or is this your honest opinion, as I am going to spend a lot of money on a car and I need honest feedback please. Thank you.

I never joke...ask anyone else on the Accy Web site....honesty, integrity, truth are all my middle names.

But he is from Church jue, and you can't believe a word anybody from Church says, especially Tealeaf

I have never heard of them.
Webrowsing reveals they have a website and a postcode BB5 4LZ
...which leads you to West End (between Church and Oswaldtwistle)
...it isn't the one on the main rd - that is Brittania car sales.

Google maps indicate that it is on Spread Eagle St, but google street view does not reveal any car sales there.

Maybe someone living nearby can advise.

Having once been married to a second hand car dealer, I would not recommend any of them

Done a bit more delving-
That postcode at Spreadeagle St is a long way from the site, which is here
Accrington BB5 4LZ, United Kingdom - Google Maps

near the canal and Blythes Chemicals, opposite the old coke ovens

I must say that they sell uppercrust cars and give an 'embellished'

version of their location

Afraid i dont know much about them. They do seem to have some very nice vehicles there though every time i drive past....bit out of my price range these days though!

As with all second hand vehicles of a reasonably high value though, i think you would be best advised to get an AA vehicle inspection carried out if there is a car you really like the look of. Its peace of mind in the long run.

They've been there a few years now though, so i assume they are trading successfully!
