Who are they motorhomedepotcom? (1 Viewer)

[Sundowner ll]

I'm soon to buy my first MH though, still not 100% as to make model, even more so now after receiving welcome advice on here. Looking on ebay & autotrader I see a lot of the posts have the motorhomedepotcom acting as "Brokers/Agents" Why do you need a broker? (Sounds like an extra cost to me.) What is their involvement with these sales? is it better to use them? Anyone had dealings with them?
I've mainly been looking on ebay and auto-trader, is there somewhere else I should be looking? Hope these questions aren't too silly or too repetitive.
Thanks again in advance for any advice.
Jack Beauregard,

They have been around for years. I think they are basically brokers. Not researched them but seen them eBay for years so can't be that bad.

Got mine from motorhome depot. Had a great experience and better service than I was getting from dealers.

Do you trust estate agents?
In my view only, Motorhome depot are no more than an estate agency selling motorhomes for a commission fee.
Whereas an estate agent may well live in a bricks and mortar establishment and have good knowledge, if not experience of the pitfalls of owning a property, I doubt many of them brokering and advertising motorhomes for sale, actually own one, or have ever used one.
Only my opinion though.

other than the fact each area is treated as an independent concern and head office not interested in the VERY dodgy actions of some salesmen

I sold our 2 year old Motorhome through them and they were brilliant, sold in less than 3 weeks for full asking price.

Motorhome Depot – Dodgy Dealers

If you plan to sell your motorhome, don’t do it through these guys unless you want to be ripped off. I needed to sell my motorhome quickly and didn’t want any hassle myself and so I appointed these guys as brokers. We agreed a fixed value that I would receive when the vehicle was sold with...

They are Based in Mansfield
As am I
I have purchased through them they act as intermediaries introducing seller to buyer
and handle the deal for the seller
They offer no guarantee or warranty on any of there sales its just like buying private
they do take a chunk from the seller, you can make offers below their asking price
you can view MoHo prior to purchase you are not allowed to negotiate with the seller direct
any attempt to cut them out will cost the seller dearly, he has signed a legal contract with them
I paid a holding deposit a week before and paid balance in full on the day of viewing and drove it home
after having paid due diligence as to the buyers right to sell via HPI
And double checking all the numbers and documents matched.
A happy experience BUT
If your not savvy buying and inspecting a vehicle or MoHo use a dealer and get warranties. or take someone who is
you can get hab checks and AA reports up front if you pay for them,
Holding deposits are there to hold vehicle for you and are FULLY REFUNDABLE if the Mo Ho is not as described
I noted all the bad reviews come from people who made silly mistakes and did not understand what or how the system works
I bought 4 k under lowest dealer price
and got a 2 year newer MoHo for that lower price too
and 5k worth of extras included.

Do you trust estate agents?

As someone who invests in property repeatedly, NO I don’t.

And I’d rather trust a cornered rattlesnake than a franchise selling system that takes no responsibility for franchisees than the need no more experience than the fee to sign up.

Just look at Richard Woods (Director) history and tell me you think you’d trust him

I can confirm that all financial dealings were with Head Office, Bank transfers and al deposits go to them the salesman does not see or touch the monies
Most of the disbelievers have no personal knowledge of them
and as i said earlier its the sellers who dont know what there doing that causes problems.

I was not supporting them at all.
I know a few estate agents, and have had dealings with a few, and would not trust them with my grandkids piggybanks.

I recently sold my motorhome through them,

YES it did cost me £3k but they did all the advertising, weeding out wannabes , doing the veiwing & handover durning covid Etc

in the end it sold within a few weeks, I got my money I wanted, I didnt have to take sh$te from tyre kickers and I was pleased with the outcome.

 

[Mrsambulancekidd]

Having had dealings with them I would say NO, deal with them at your peril.
