I have been trawling the web as you do when looking for a MH. I came across BCS Manchester via E Bay. They have some nice vans on E Bay but they are not shown on their web pages which made me a little suspicious. Having searched on here they seem to get some praise from @PaulyP & @Badknee with other good comments. Was wondering if anyone else has had dealings with them or other recent experiences.
TIA

We've not bought from them but when we were looking we popped in and they came across very friendly and answered any questions we asked. Sorry I can't help you more.

Gave me a part ex price for my van over the phone which I was happy with
Told me if the van was as i described it they would honour the price
Went up to see the van I was interested in by train as I live in South Wales
Showed them some photos of the van and told me they would honour the price they quoted

Living the dream.
Hi @Dartagnan, yes we bought from BCS Manchester which is nowhere near Manchester but is just outside Rochdale near Hollingworth Lake.
As has been said the Moho's are the best presented used models we have ever come across.
We bought this....

I can honestly say there wasn't a thing in it that didn't work, not one single job inside needed sorting. We had it a week or two (full timers) and headed off to some friends in South Wales and the exhaust broke, it looked perfect from the outside but was corroded on the inside.
I was told by BCS over the phone to get it fixed, pay the bill and they would reimburse me in full. My friend took me to a local garage on the Saturday morning and explained what happened but couldn't do a full repair but would get us home, the temp fix was perfect, I paid the man and we set off a few days later and all was fine.
I got back to BCS and they took the exhaust off while I waited and took it to an exhaust specialist who replaced the flange that had had broken then paid for the temp repair I had done.
The website and eBay change daily, they sell so many vans its hard to keep up, ours hadn't even been advertised when we arrived, it had just been valeted and had a full service including cam belt and water pump change @36k due to age rather than mileage, six brand new tyres for the same reason.
Top company and from our dealings with them and other peoples I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. (y)

I bought my very first mh from them and agree with comments made so far, very professional outfit with fantastic customer service and every mh on display has been cleaned, serviced and checked for everything working. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Thank you. I think it was one of your posts that I had also read (can't exactly remember due to some cognitive issues!)

Many thanks for the comprehensive reply. As with the other replies it's very helpful and reassured.
Ahh Hollingworth Lake. My late mother used to take my brother and I there as young boys on the bus as a special treat in the 60's. There was a boating lake there.
We lived in Royton and I can recall cycling from there to Chadderton. By coincidence I was on a motorway a few years ago and passed by there and couldn't believe the difference. (Enough of reminiscing)

Brilliant. Thank you for the reply very reassuring and will definitely watch their website. I wouldn't like to ring them and show any real interest in case it puts a few grand on similiar vans that may come into stock

A huge thank you to everyone who replied. I am very grateful to you all and once again shows how extremely helpful members of this forum are. It's of particularly significance to me as amongst my health issues I suffer with anxiety and anything that helps relieve any potential worry is a huge help.
Once again very many thanks.
