I bought from Silverdale in May (?) this year, 2013. I did post my opinions on the end of an old Silverdale thread, on this forum.

I bought a Mondeo Estate Titanium X. About 10 months old, 9K miles. All done over the phone. I knew what model I wanted and phoned Silverdale (got their name from a Google search). Spoke with Ross who said he has access to cars that are out on contract hire/fleets/etc. He offered me 4 that met my spec, along with full details. He said that it would take 7/10 days to get the car in, check it over, etc. Sure enough, I got a call a week later saying the car was ready. I could either collect or they would deliver. Either way there was no committment to buy until I'd checked the car over myself.

I asked them to deliver. It arrived on a small transporter. Looked good "as decribed". Two new front tyres (yes, after 9K miles), full valet.I took it for a spin. It all worked. Paid the driver and that was that. About £1500 less that I could haggle with any local dealer

Not the way that everyone might want to buy a car but it's now done 15K miles without any problem. Based on this one experience, I would recommend Silverdale.

(Edit - sorry Tony, we had a complaint so I had to remove the (needlessly offensive) post above, which you were replying to. As a dealer yourself, I know you'll understand that it's quite out of order to accuse a dealer of clocking - a criminal offence - without any evidence.)
