\n \t\t\t

A small showroom with strong opinions about cars.<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Independent, family-run and deliberately not enormous. We buy the cars we'd want ourselves, prepare them in our own workshop, and sell them at the price on the tag.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Our story<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Meridian started as two people, one lift and a rented lot. The idea hasn't changed: sell fewer cars, know every one of them, and be here in ten years to service the ones we sold.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We are an independent dealer, which means nobody at a head office tells us what to stock. We buy from auctions, trades and private sellers, and we turn down far more than we take. What we keep goes through our own workshop before anyone sees a listing \u2014 the inspection report and the history report are attached to the car, not to the sales pitch.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Pricing is one number. It is set from real market data, reviewed weekly, and it is what you pay plus tax and licensing. If you find the same car cheaper somewhere, we'd rather you told us than haggled.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

What we stand for<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

One price, in writing<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The tag is the deal. No documentation fee, no market adjustment, no \"let me ask my manager\".<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Inspected by people who'd have to fix it<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our own technicians sign off on every car \u2014 the same ones who'll see it again at its next service.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Take your time<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Long test drives, overnight where sensible, and no pressure to sign on the day. A car you regret is bad for both of us.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n

Selection<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

We look at far more cars than we buy. History report, prior repairs, service records and a cold start before a deposit changes hands.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/article>\n

Workshop<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

A documented multi-point inspection by our own technicians. Anything worn is replaced, and the report travels with the car.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/article>\n

Detailing<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Paint correction where warranted, interior deep-clean, and an honest note in the listing about anything we chose to leave alone.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/article>\n
