I can recommend Cargiant. I've bought a car from there and so have a couple of friends, we've all been impressed with the after-sales service.
I had a couple of issues about 3 months after I bought my car, instead of referring me to the warranty company they gave me the choice of bringing the car back to them to be fixed or taking it to a main dealer and they'd pick up the tab.
Off to the dealer it went and they just paid by card over the phone, very impressed!ǝןqqıʍComment

This was Carcraft though so the total number of braincells of the staff was less than my shoe size and I don't have big feet.Comment

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

My strategy recently has been to get the best prices from internet brokers then ring round the franchised dealers till I found one who got (very) close to the broker price. Most recent purchase for daughter was Peugeot 107 that came very close to the best broker price I could find and was within 20 miles of homePublic Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

I've had more hassles with expensive cars than cheap ones but that's just how the cards fell for me.
A friend of mine bought a 3 year old Audi A6, full dealer history, one owner, all the boxes ticked. Once month later, numerous electronic niggles start, passenger door won't open, then the cam belt goes. He couldn't wait to get shot of it but lost a fortune.
Another mate bought a Yaris for about £1500 just for going to the station. He had it for 4 years and the only thing it needed (apart from regular servicing like any other car) was an indicator bulb.
Just spin the bottle and pick the one it points to.Comment
