Break them off & replace with normal bolts. Horrible bloody things & who nicks alloy wheels anyway? Wasn’t that a crime from the 1980’s?

If only that was true in our case, a friend of mine bought a Civic from BCA a few weeks back. No warning lights on the dash, no faults declared. Paid online, booked the collection and went to pick it up. Car started but was barely running on two cylinders and engine management light flashing, took the keys back to the office and refused to take it. Rang the claims line when he got home and was basically told it was sold as seen and had to be collected, so he bit the bullet and went back for a second time. This time it wouldn’t even start, couldn’t even drive it out the car park so gave up. Rang claims line again and was told the car is sold as a car and that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a runner even though it was showed as running in the pictures. He’s now having to go down the legal route, absolute joke.

I was talking about this only yesterday, I think many of us have now got used to online buying & I’m in no hurry to return. With us all currently banned from attending auctions, the auction houses seem to have got their acts together & are doing a reasonable job on the appraisals. The few slip ups that have occurred have generally been sorted to my satisfaction. HOWEVER, once they reopen I assume we’ll be back to hiding behind the excuse of “you had the option to inspect the car, so fuck off”, meaning many of us will be ‘forced’ to attend physical auctions for fear of getting a lemon shoved where the sun doesn’t shine.

He missed out kids in car.

Normally a customer who can’t afford to buy from Audi but takes it to them for a health check so he can get the dealer he bought it from to pay for Audis standards.
