Top and bottom of it .. 'LOT ' of the dealers putting the cars in the auctions know there is an issue, I don't buy anything from Auctions [ Especially when I read these horror stories anyway] a read either here or another forum where a car was put in DA by a group - but when you look at the group's website they retail similar price/type of cars, so that car must have an issue if they won't retail it - however no mention of issues when its put through the sale [ they think they are clever !] Was talking to a trader last week ,1st I met him he called into the showroom was telling me about two Merc's he'd bought from the main dealer . when he told me the dealer and the 2 cars , I said I would be suspicious as they normally retail those cars, and I thought they now have an auction policy too... Yes you've guessed it one of them he was told had a 'wheel bearing' noise circa £100 , Needs a diff ! He thinks thats going to cost £700/800.. second car .. drives perfectly.. Only thing is on ' cold' start up the engine rattles for ' quite' a while ..... the dealerships answer " we were not aware of any issues ", both cars supplied /serviced by the dealer " .. the trader said " Thought I was in luck getting into this dealer and buying GOOD stock " Think the dealer was thinking I'll stitch him him while he's trying to get in here " Very sad but too many dealers / traders trying to screw others over !

Some very nice cars

What's your website Steve sounds like some nice bits of stock are in and out.

I have been stung a few times and will now not buy anything that i cant go and collect myself. If you have a good delivery driver who will help you and give the car a good checking over before loading then maybe ok but most of the time they will just chuck it on the back of a wagon and drop it in to you with any problems. Very rarely will the trainee salesman who is appraising the cars bother to lift the bonnet and even if they did would not know what they was looking at so its a gamble. What does piss me off is that they sometimes avoid taking a picture of any damage/scratches but just mark it as a S on the diagram. Is it really that hard to get a close up picture of the damage so we can bid accordingly?

Thought I would post this on the Forum as I feel it is really important for you to understand how important I feel this 1000 Voices Partnership with Autovolo.co.uk is. Firstly I never thought in a million years how much disruption my ‘Open Letter to Autotrader’ would cause in the industry and beyond and that was only my VOICE can you imagine what we can do with 1000 voices? This letter has opened up some very large doors, which I feel as an industry we should take advantage of. The reason I’m pushing this out is that I feel this is the answer we have been looking for. Low risk, high return and our voices will be heard at long last……ALL 1000 of them! Now I’m not going to bang on like a broken record , however I feel so strongly that this is an opportunity not to be missed and I will be PUTTING MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS on this one. We need to put all this negative energy surrounding AutoTrader behind us and use it in a positive way and this can start with an on interest to 1000voices@autovolo.co.uk . If you have already registered, congratulations you are ready for change and I’ll see you at the Dealer Meeting in August, if you have not registered………just do it, before you miss the chance! I’m more than happy to answer questions by email or by phone, my contact details are below. Talk soon.

For a start I wouldn't be paying his bills for a mechanic he's got to look at it, he should of brought it back to you to look at , if you do give him his money back charge him a months rental , look how much it would of cost to hire a car and charge him 50% of that and if he's done a few miles charge him for that as well.... don't roll over to easy .

Ill stick to em if you all aren't bothered! :-)
