Son in law is going to look & hopefully buy a used car from a dealer/trader tomorrow, I have a concern over the advert
GENUINE MILEAGE OF 86,000
TO LOOK AT AND DRIVE THE CAR YOU WOULD THINK IT HAD DONE A WHOLE LOT LESS.
WELL ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION.
IT HAS HAD 2 OWNERS + THE SUPPLYING DEALER FROM NEW.
THE CAR COMES SERVICE HISTORY (12 STAMPS IN THE BOOK) AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION TO VERIFY THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER WANTED FOR A PENNY IN MAINTENANCE.
LAST SERVICED 11/05/2017 @ 82537 MILES.
THE CAR HAS THIS WEEK BEEN FITTED WITH A REPLACEMENT FLY WHEEL AND CLUTCH KIT.
WE WILL BE PLACING IT THROUGH AN MOT TEST BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS SO IT WILL COME WITH A FULL YEARS CERTIFICATE.
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB, SAFE, LUXURIOUS SPECIFICATION INCLUDING:-
DRIVER,PASSENGER AND SIDE AIR BAGS
ANTI LOCK BRAKES
ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL.
POWER ASSISTED STEERING
AIR CONDITIONING
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
ELECTRIC MIRRORS
REVERSE PARK ASSIST
ALLOY WHEELS
FRONT AND REAR QUICK CLEAR SCREEN
ETC. ETC.ETC.
THE EXTERIOR IS FINISHED IN SILVER METALLIC.
CLOSE INSPECTION WILL OBVIOUSLY REVEAL AGE RELATED IMPERFECTION SUCH AS SMALL STONE CHIPS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES THAT CAN ONLY BE EXPECTED ON AN 11 YEAR OLD SECOND HAND CAR.
IN REALITY, FOR ITS AGE AND MILEAGE, IT IS VERY TIDY AND PRESENTABLE
DRIVES REALLY WELL WITH NO KNOCKS, BANGS OR SQUEAKS.
THE PERFORMANCE AND ALL ROUND RIDE QUALITY ARE ABSOLUTELY SUPERB.
THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD.
THE 1997cc DIESEL ENGINE IS VERY, RESPONSIVE, SMOOTH AND QUIET.
THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING IS FEATHER LIGHT.
THE SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION IS SMOOTH BOTH UP AND DOWN THE GEARS.
SAFE AND LUXURIOUS MOTORING AT ITS VERY BEST FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY.
VERY ECONOMICAL WITH 50 MPG + EASILY ACHIEVED
HPI CLEAR. NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT AND FREE FROM ANY FINANCIAL AGREEMENTS
My concern in the advert he/they go onto this
TO ABIDE BY CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE ABOVE DESCRIPTION IS ACCURATE TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE AND THAT ANY KNOWN FAULTS HAVE BEEN LISTED.
ANY VEHICLE WE SELL THAT HAS EITHER COVERED IN EXCESS OF 50,000 MILES OR IS OVER 5 YEARS OLD IS SOLD AS SEEN FOR SPARES OR REPAIR WITH NO WARRANTY IMPLIED OR GIVEN.
If it says it on the invoice is it their get out of jail free card, I've personally said to the SIL if they put that on the invoice I would walk away, but what's the actual legality, as he is paying a premium to buy from the trade, he may as well buy private.
