katie-   10 #1 Posted December 13, 2016 Hi all,  First off apologies if I have put this in the wrong place  I was just wondering if anyone has experience of MPD Cars on Penistone Road?  I have spotted a car there which looks good - this will be my first car so I'm just a tiny bit stressed about it all!  I can't link to the website but it's the one at 716 Penistone Road  Thanks very much!

Â Hi, it's near the dog track and the Big Yellow Self Storage, if you Google MPD Cars Sheffield it should take you to it on Maps (still can't post links yet or I would do!)

Starlc   11 #4 Posted December 13, 2016 You would be better asking someone you know that knows about cars to go with you and look at some private sales as they will be a lot cheaper and you will have had someone look at it ?

Â I don't know anyone who lives local to me and knows about cars unfortunately. Yes I would consider private sale, I understand there are advantages and disadvantages to both garages and private sellers though. And yes I will get anything checked over before buying!

DO YOU KNOW ANYONE IN THE TRADE THAT CAN LOOK AT IT FOR YOU. IF THE GARAGE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE IT SHOULDNT BE A PROBLEM. SORRY THIS IS IN CAPITALsSNOT SHOUTING AT YOU LOL , Â I've not set my heart on it, I've just seen it on Autotrader and on paper it sounds like it might be a good car (also I quite like the colour:P). And yes I will get a mechanic to look at it! I just want to know if anyone has experience of this garage. The only thing I can find on the internet is a load of suspiciously glowing reviews on Google, all from users who haven't rated any other businesses. I don't know much about cars and I want to try and make sure I pick a reputable dealer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I have known a few over the years and seen what they do and it's not good but there will be genuine ones as well.  Good luck !
