Hi all, I was wondering if I could have a little advice from those in the know.

I have been looking around for a deal on the new Ford Focus Zetec/Titanium (1.0L, 125PS) and came across nationwide-cars (Company No. 05013715), apparently it was previously called Cotswold Car Hire & Leasing Limited.

I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on this company or any other places I can find a new Ford Focus at a low price.

Thank you in advance.

A quick Google comes up with this:

I'll leave it to you to decide whether it's the same company that they are discussing, how genuine the posts are, and to do any further research ;-)

Hi NtrousA

The company you cite is Nationwide Cars Limited, which was incorporated in january 2004 as Cotswold Car Hire and Leasing Limited and changed it's name in may 2006. However it never traded at all until 2009 so has only filed 2 years accounts at Companies House.

The directors are Ian Whitecross, Hanka Whitecross (also shareholders) and Luke Whitecross. The latest accounts filed show accumulated losses of £48,499 as at 31/3/2011 and, technically, the net worth of the company was negative to the tune of £294,482. There is no adverse public information on the company, but the above figures do suggest that I would be cautious with financial transactions.
