Bought a car and its shagged.... How should I proceed? Help

Sounds like a lucky escape. £20k was a bit high.

That sounds like a great result then, it's unusual to hear that a dealer will just accept a car back without much of a fight.

Next car you decide to buy. Please look at it carefully during day light!

Hello, my name is Acme and I think we could be good friends.

They knew, just hoped that OP would put up.

Lucky escape OP. Sounds like they are a reasonable dealer after all, I'd say you're lucky as most dealers would resist.

I'm a bit surprised they are prepared to take it back to be honest.

Lucky escape.

there is no real world difference between the 28i, 30 and 35.

the E89 Z4 is a much more refined than the E85 so you don't "feel" the difference in power in normal day to day driving.

unless of course you are planning on doing 0-60 at every set of traffic lights you hit.

i take it you have driven all 3 models to testify different?

Just stop. Your opinion is not fact. The 35iS is worlds apart from the 28i/30i, it is close to the 35i but there are still many differentiators.

I must say, I read that post and was bit like 'eh? '

Talk about a near miss - lucky sod. Be more careful next time although the dealer doesn't sound like best.

You live and learn.

I assume you've never read any of his other posts then

Good result

Absolutely this unfortunately - I'm guessing they'll just do the same to the next poor sod who's interested, and hope they don't do their homework

What an absolute state that car is. Glad you're getting your money back, after its all done I'd give them a negative review online warning people because its clearly a scam.

I'd not perform the sigh of relief until everything has been cancelled, I think getting it on finance has been the saving grace here?

What do you expect? Everything he posts is absolute nonsense.

OP: Lots of lessons to be learn from this experience, I'm glad you got it sorted although extremely surprised at the outcome.

Quite likely, I think had you paid cash you’d have had a very different response.

But, fair play to them they could have made this a real headache, let’s hope they carry through but with the finance aspect I don’t see it being a problem.

I don't think this is the last we've heard of this - a dealer just accepting a car back without any kind of counter offer (discount to keep it etc) seems highly unusual.

Some do knowing they can just palm it off on another sucker who probably won't complain/return it and if the OP does complain/give them a bad review they can just wave it away.

Reading through the comments, it only came to light that it was imported from Africa after the sale. Clearly miss sold/falsely advertised and that probably why they have not kicked up a fuss.
