I agree with your point from a second hand car salesman, the point you are missing is this car hasn’t been owned by anyone but the garage, they’ve had it repaired, they have not disclosed the fact the car had been repaired and there is no paperwork to support this. Had I been aware of the car having previous damage I would not have bought it and definitely not paid what I did. I get business is business but I would have expected more from a main dealer. That is why the unfair trading regulations exist, had I been aware I would not have bought this car! Also I’m sure you are aware due to Covid you are basically in and out, they actually wanted to deliver the car to my home address without me stepping foot in the garage. Is this the sort of behaviour you’d expect from a main dealer for one of their flagship cars, not a 10k second/third hand car in a backstreet garage! I could understand it if the car had been at a reduced price however it wasn’t in fact there were others cheaper but at a further distance from me.
thanks for your input and your opinion, I can’t help but wonder what your stance would be if it were you who’d thought for security to buy from a main dealer and buy a car with low mileage and no public owners only to find out all was not what it seemed leaving you feel somewhat duped!
It looks like I’ll have to seek legal advice to see what my options are.
