Is it another scrapper, a bit of history may help....year, model, miles etc?
It’s 2014 Range Rover sport stolen recovered with only 24000 miles

So was it really a main dealer who couldn’t find the issues? I really hope not as that is a bloody disgrace that they have effectively written off a 5 year old premium car. Any service history with it?
There are a few LR specialist around, where abouts are you located? (I know a couple locally in the NW)Yes it was Land Rover in Bolton, spent 6 hours on the car and couldn’t find anything, no service history with the car
I’m based in Preston
im thinking it has something to do with the key because when they stole it, it got stolen with the key but RR want £1600 for a new key (new bcm,kvm, key for that price)

Range Rover sport 2014 l494
Hi there guys I was driving my car back from auction and then all of a sudden the power cut out and the virtual cockpit is just black
All electrics work besides for the VC and engine won’t crank. Also ecus aren’t responding as shown in pictures
I had it taken to a dealership and this is what it came back with but they couldn’t fix the problem (see attached)
Any solutions

5 hours ago, tradex said:So it was a few days old when written off then....wow I bet that pissed of the owner
....and written off as S structual for a dented rear quarter, old C and D were usually derived from the cost of repair v retail value, S and N I guess should be a better way to do it, obviously not?
Not knowing jack about these things one would of thought it just have new quarter fitted as normal practice, or maybe I'm missing something here? Sold at 50% of retail, so obviously bought at fraction of that, amazing as insurance companies are usually very savy about these things. As they say everydays a school day
The problem is now with Mangoletski, isn't it? They were paid by the buyer for an pre-purchase inspection and that inspection isn't fit for purpose, so it comes back to them, one of the reasons AA and RAC sub their work out now?
It was advertised as a repaired Cat S, please say yes
Has your repairer got any photos of the car? Maybe salavage auction (or vendor) have pre-repair photos?
NB the selling price has FA to do with the buyers rights, just saying
.
Written off straight away pulling it out of dealers lol. Yup advert clearly said previous owner had an accident car is damaged repaired cat S. No one took pictures besides me but they got deleted. Auction photos got deleted from website 2 months after purchase of vehicle.
surely the price must be a factor as it’s considerably less
5 hours ago, awc1000 said:I wouldn't be too bothered, mangoletsi are the oldest (50 years) alfa dealer in the u.k, that should surely carry some weight regards an inspection, and he decided to proceed with purchase after the car was inspected, and it sounds like he got a very cheap car, £55k new?
strange how it was written off at that age for a damaged quarter panel, are these aluminium/ honeycomb /bonded? maybe aluminium structure damage? or maybe it was nicked and payed out on, then found later with light damage?
If it were me i would have another look at it, then if happy with what i see tell him to jog on.
It has a carbon fibre shell, so maybe that had a part to play in the write off
4 hours ago, Arfur Dealy said:Let me get this right...... this remorseful buyer wants to reject after paying to have it professionally independently inspected by Alfa themselves ? He also wants to do this even though its past 30 days just because hes just noticed a dent ?
Is this a wind up ????
Yes that’s right lol, unfortunately it’s not a wind up. Apparently he’s an alfa collector maybe just brought the car and is now bored of it, which I highly doubt, it’s one hell of an animal car tbh
2 hours ago, J.T said:I think the damage to the sill is what the customer is complaining about now, but when asked what the original damage was the OP replied "It looked like light damage, only a ding on the passenger quarter to categorise it as a cat S".
As with a lot of these posts Arfur I think we only have a fraction of the story, in the OP he mentions the customer wants to reject because of a dent in the sill but later on he mentions that the car crabs so the customer must also have mentioned this at some point. So there is probably a lot more to this story that we don't yet know.
We don't know what was said in the inspection report or what kind of inspection it was, but what would a main dealer say? I'm not sure they would comment much further than saying the car has sustained accident damage and been repaired which the customer already knew, anything more than that could land them in a legal quagmire. The inspection might not have been much more than a mechanical inspection, which wouldn't have shown much up if anything on a 2,000 mile car.
Damage was all down the passenger side and the bumper on the passenger side but the dent on the rear quarter classed it as a cat S.
The customer took it into a garage due to the wheels crabbing, during that time the mechanic told him that the sill is dented, since the crabbing is normal ( as confirmed by the dealers), his only basis for returning the car is the dent on the sill
1 hour ago, Dave c said:Cat S =
- S. Structurally damaged repairable
cummon, it’s got grief written all over it . You know what they say, if it’s too good to be true, it usually is,.....
Either
1)not advertised /Sold correctly
or
2) buyers remorse.
I know what’s be said above but only the OP will know the truth so can act accordingly
Got up at 6am to travel with the buyer to knutsford to have the inspection and spent the whole day there, car was not forced on him he chose to buy it, car was sold as advertised no deceit

19 hours ago, justlooking said:I’m hoping you listed the dent on the Pdi if you did one.
if you did a Pdi and the dents not listed, you can prove it wasn’t there at purchase. Winner
Only thing regarding the damage was on the invoice for repairs
19 hours ago, trade vet said:Sounds OK,except did the customer sign your invoice.
Yes customer signed the invoice
18 hours ago, James01 said:Sill has a dent in it and wants a full refund, what are wrong with these people!
If he missed it prior to sale then it’s his responsibility for not checking the car properly.
stinks of buyers remorse.
Thinks it costing him to much to run lol
18 hours ago, tradegirl said:Did you buy it damaged or repaired? That wouldn't make it a Cat S. Not a 2019 car.
I brought it damaged as a cat S registered in January 2019
14 hours ago, have a word with the wife said:From what i am reading, being a cat s in this circumstance is actually a help not a hindrance !
Car was sold for half it’s retail value so that should help to an extent hopefully
6 hours ago, tradex said:That's what I was thinking!
If it had small dent in rear quarter it wouldn't be CAT S being so nearly new and with such low miles? Flood damaged?
But then again how would it receive a dented inner sill....but that could mean in the cabin, or underneath?
To the OP, did you repair yourself or purchase after being repaired?
Buyers remorse here....although at 50% of retail why moan. But surely it would've made far more than 50% retail when sold off as scrap....all very puzzling?
It was repaired by my mate who repairs all my cars for me, never had a problem before!
I lost all the pictures on my phone so couldn’t produce any pre repair pictures, made it very hard to sell!

4 hours ago, Funny Farm said:I have recently had exactly the same. Discounted a CAT D Kia Venga from Retail £9500 to £6500. The lady a week later wanted the whole car resprayed at a cost of £8500.
knowing how this would play out, we referred her to Lawgistic's who put her right. Anything cosmetic is sold as seen. If you've sold it as a Cat S and the new owner accepts that, then it is his/her responsibility to repair any necessary issues associated with the accident. However you would still be responsible for any mechanical issues not raised at time of sale.
No mechanical issues except for the crabbing at the wheels which is normal when cold
He’s only complaining about the dent which, if it was there at the time of repairing, would have 100% be repaired. I don’t cut corners just for reasons like this
2 hours ago, MattR said:A dent can happen at any time. Maybe before it was bought, maybe after. Has he gone too fast over a speed hump? Run over something like those left over bits of tyre you sometimes see on the motorway? His mechanic mate not put it on a ramp properly? the list is endless. No rejection in my book.
It was inspected by mangoletsi knutsford so it was a thorough check

1 hour ago, MarkTVS said:I would just dig my heels in and refuse especially if buyer has had an inspection done. I would chance my arm at getting a copy of the customers inspection report too.
Currently just waiting for his report and then I can see exactly what he’s saying is wrong with the car
1 hour ago, Mark101 said:I agree with Mark and I am soft as shit. Mind you that must have been a whack to CAT S a 19 plater with no miles - you’re braver than me.
It looked like light damage, only a ding on the passenger quarter to categorise it as a cat S
28 minutes ago, tradegirl said:Nothing's gone wrong with the car though. He and his inspector just didn't use their eyes properly.
It's taken him a month and a half to notice. I'm not quite sure what his case/reasoning is.
If you weren't aware there was a dent, there's also a good chance that he whacked it into the kerb.
The car had a full clean health check from mangoletsi in knutsford before it left me,
fellas taken it to a garage because the wheels crab when cold when full locked, but that’s normal in this car.. having 4 of these cars previously and dealer confirming that it’s normal too so definitely no fault on that end
garage advised him there’s a dent on the inner sill
29 minutes ago, trade vet said:How was it described on the sales invoice ?
“Sold as cat S, no warranty damaged repaired inspection carried out”
12 minutes ago, JDM1983 said:What sort of sill damage are you talking about. Is this something he could done to the car in his possession?
He’s saying there’s a dent on the inner sill
1 minute ago, justlooking said:He carried out an inspection pre purchase? I’d have that plastered all over the paperwork.
It’s as good as sold as seen if so!
i love it when they inspect them and then still buy.
Yup stated on the invoice that it was inspected by a dealership, surely they should be liable if they’ve missed something out?

Hi lads I was wondering if someone could help me out with this one.
I sold a performance car in October as a motor trader to a private individual, it was a damaged repaired Cat S, the buyer took out an independent inspection by a dealership and was happy to commence with the sale, the car sold for half it’s retail value ( if it wasn’t recorded) and I’ve just got a call today saying that the sill has a dent in it and he wants a full refund.
I was wondering I stand with this as an inspection was taken out, the car was sold for half it’s value and the buyer was happy to go through with the sale.
Its a 2019 car with just under 2000 miles at the time if that’s any use
to add to this I wasn’t aware there was this damAge present on the vehicle

18 minutes ago, Mark101 said:Why doesn't he just put the plate on the car he uses privately rather than this sketchy set up which may appear to the insurance like someone is trying to bend the rules?
I presume he is under 25 and probably restricted for business only.
Or, why can't you just allocate the plate to your company and stick it on if it is that important?
He’s already got one on his private car but this plate is a close match to the one on his private so he wants to put it on
all pointless if you ask me but if it makes him happy, why not...I mean it’s not costing me anything so no harm in trying

31 minutes ago, Casper said:I would say it wouldn't be insured if it was in his personal name cause the insurance company could argue its not just for business use then
if you are a sole trader can you not put it in the company name then you could argue that everyone on the policy uses the car for only business use only ..
It Currently has the company name on the v5 but it’s whether they’ll accept the fact that he’s not using it as a personal car
3 minutes ago, EPV said:If he owns it, technically, so what? As for insurance, ask your insurance company to add him as a named employee.
He’s already a named driver
3 minutes ago, MattR said:If he wants to put a plate on it, then I'd suggest he is anyway. a dedicated car for picking up stock? unless its a few hundred quids worth of a shitter, thats a waste of money.
Not dedicated for stock but Mostly stock and anything else that comes up that needs to be done
-
1 hour ago, EPV said:It will be a problem when he wants to take the plate off the car if it's in the trade! Put the car in his name, transfer the plate and providing it's taxed and insured he won't have a problem.
That won’t be an option as they could say he’s using it as a personal car

Hi there guys I was wondering if I could get some advice. I’m a motor trader and I have my son employed he’s only allowed to drive a vehicle under business use
He wanted to put a private registration on one of my vehicles that he will be using to pick up stock Would this be a problem if he got stopped, could he be accused of using it as a personal car due to the private registration that spells his name
Thanks :)

It had one key with the car but I believe that key might not be the original key that came with the car, maybe a key that’s been messed around with by the thieves
Just a string of bad luck I’m having lol
