  1. There an argument to say anything passed the manufacturer warranty is wear n tear.... if the manufacturer won’t guarantee it why should we.....
  2. Exactly. We are not offering the same guarantee as the manufacturer. 3 years Max on average from new FFS ! it’s 14 years old, did the buyer purchase a warranty to specifically cover a gearbox fault on his 14 year old car ? No, so why should you pay for it to be repaired ?
  3. Why ? 3k is pocket money. It’s a banger, it cost a 20th if it’s original price. It’s 14 year old.
  4. Please give the facts, don’t elaborate, just the facts.
  5. Let them destroy it, the fact they haven’t stopped using it makes them complicit. You are in a legal dispute, the magistrate will dismiss.
  6. I can assure you that is exactly how they drive, it’s a characteristic of the gearbox. Likes
  7. Would you. With a stinking attitude like that you would be told to take responsibility and ownership for the maintenance and repairs of your own car.
  8. There is no definitive answer. I can highly recommend them also. Wait though, until you really need them because you’ll get a years coverage from that date.
  9. The point is I cover the warranty and the CRA in that discussion, I say the car is freshly motd, independently inspected and accurately described which I guarantee. Customer signs to agree. I few minutes educating goes a long way.
  10. Simple answer is do not offer a warranty, I don’t, I never have and I tell every billy why, because I believe most of the time they aren’t worth the paper they are written on, especially on older cars way past the period the manufacturer was prepared to guarantee it. This is pertinent because warranty’s generally don’t cover wear n tear and neither does the CRA. However, Mr Customer there are a few good ones out there and there is nothing wrong in you purchasing your own insurance if you want coverage over and above. Ill be honest, it is very rare I pay a penny after thirty days.
  11. Agreed, the first question “is it still for sale?” Second question “how do I pay the deposit?” ending with.... I loved your video Simon That is exactly how it should happen
  12. Andy, you need to know if your goods have been seized by the court, if not they don’t have any right to keep them.
  13. Dear Mr Customer, the CRA2015 is designed to protect buyers and sellers equally. Wear and tear is specifically excluded. As the owner of a 14 year old BMW (11 years past it’s warranty) you should expect wear and tear. It is your responsibility for the repair and maintenance of your vehicle. OkayDokay, if you give an inch they’ll take a mile. Stonewall them. The way I look at it is very simple.... If the broken or worn part has been used many years past the manufacturers guaranteed period then quite simply it’s “wear n tear”
  14. I would, just go in there and take back your property. It’s yours.
  15. Follow yer nose; trust your own judgement.
