  2. i would suggest you were taking away the consumers rights with that statement my invoice says you are committing to purchasing a second hand vehicle and have been taken on a test drive been shown the pdi and any points that need attention have been discussed ie bad paint ,squeak from parcel shelf etc etc and duly noted at the foot of the invoice in a dedicated section for any remedial work i then get them to sign as an adult that this is a legal binding contract on both sides its not rocket science but you need to keep it legal
  3. why would you want to buy a Citroen C1 Grade 5 with 90K on the clock ? they usually require rear brake pipes tyres clutch paintwork oil and filter minimu,m usually pads and or discs too and at that mileage even though its a good car its still a lot for an unseen wizz 3 pot

  10. if car paperwork not done at p/x time then sometimes the car is still registered to previous owner and wedding confetti might have been made of his log book,maybe they didnt like him so are hoping he gets fined or mandy in accounts forgot to do it online what with needing her toenails clipping and all..................... anyway in such an event you can wait up to 6 weeks for the log book to come,i had one last week but the customer patiently waited for it as the car was for his newly passed driving test son

  23. me too ive seen everything over the years pop rivets plaster of paris sundays supplement never mind brakes that havent been checked since 1975 and what about things liike seized trunnions,these werent changed until the mot man failed them so they arent going to be greased by the majority of people running these old death boxes to get cheaper insurance now
  24. the more you touch the more to go wrong i find so if it aint broke dont fix it i always check engine over mind and if a service item looks like it is old to the point of possible failure / faulty /or about to push up the daisies then i change i always remove all wheels clean and adjust brakes i know this sounds overkill but its piece of mind for something that might never have been done before i also change oil and filter so i know its not going to go bang in foreseable future
