I finally Bought something, (and it's never been written off)

[ca9phoenix]

Didn't expect the issues with a 2.5 year old car. Wrong again!

The other disaster was a cat c repaired 2008 focus st. But I expected that and it was on a trial basis from my mate..... No thank you very much.

If you're not happy and they are willing to take it back, surely get it sent back before they change their mind.

 

[ca9phoenix]

Kind of difficult when my old banger has gone forever, its my only car and I'm 200 miles from home on a week away with the wife! Car was delivered on Friday evening, no one in to speak to until this morning about it!

Just a nightmare from beginning to end.

 

[Jono8]

Surprised that they are so willing to take it back to be honest. However from what you are describing, it sounds like it has had some sort of accident in between you seeing it and it being delivered! is the new tyre on the same side as the resprayed stuff?

 

[ca9phoenix]

No but I think the conties were on the back before. I couldn't be 100% but I'm sure I remarked on the P-Zeros on the front.

 

[Sui]

So you're driving it around a lot in the meantime, are they aware of that?

 

[Jono8]

This is a very odd story.

 

[ca9phoenix]

Why do you say that?

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

So you're driving it around a lot in the meantime, are they aware of that?

This would be my concern

Wish me luck (third time lucky)

You don't know how to buy a car.

Do you not have a friend you can take with you who knows a little something?

 

[rodenal]

As above, don't you have a friend or family member who can look these things over for you?

 

[ca9phoenix]

It's all sorted now, garage are covering the costs of the repairs. It's all minor stuff so I'm happy with it.

 

[Amos91]

So you're happy with a car that seems to have been bumped and bodged together? Okay then.

 

[Janesy B]

As above, don't buy another car on your own.

 

[GravyMonster]

OP, have you actually HPI'd this one to make sure it's not a cat C/D?

With all the dodgy overspray, complete lack of history, plus wiring sticking out of the door (how could you miss that ) this one sounds a bit of a shed.

 

[pepsilol]

None of that stuff was minor for an 11 plate car. Sorry but it sounds like it was a right heap of turd. Any you can't polish a turd.

 

[ca9phoenix]

Yes I've hpi checked it, I finally have the service history and its full and complete. The company are slowly sorting stuff out.

Nothing wrong with the way it drives just minor cosmetic stuff which had they sorted it the first time I would never have noticed.

 

[ca9phoenix]

you can't polish a turd.

But you can cover it in glitter!

To be fair my wife had an idiot farmer drive into the wing of her Golf GTi when it was parked (I suspect he was sozzled) and dent it. Much to my IMENSE annoyance it was not repaired well, I was stupid and went with the farmer arranging the repair as I was out the country in the US at the time and it looked crap needing doing again. Car was perfect, wing had a small dent so you might look at it and see a right bag of worms if you had seen the first repair when the car was absolutely perfect bar a badly painted front wing that colour matched but didn't seem well lacquered.

 

[rodenal]

minor!!!!? I'd hate to see what you think is major cosmetic faults. For such a new car it sounds like a dog
