2002/52 service history with 89000 on the clock so didn't look at that being one to avoid.

It was from Sytner Max, thought it would be worth a try, did by another vehicle from the same dealer and all was spot on, so guessing it's down to whomever carries out the appraisal.

Thanks Phil.....I will try my luck with them, trying to do this venture the right way and buy from the right places.....life and cars are like a box of chocolates, I've learned this one quickly!

Guys, Would be very grateful for any advice in relation to a part exchange vehicle I bought from a franchised main dealer online via their online auction site. I am relatively new to the trade and am still wearing the 'L Plates' in many ways. The vehicle was bought because of its description both mechanically and bodywork, it was delivered to me via a contracted driver and upon arrival the engine top is covered in black gunk, it's chuffing and there is smoke coming from it. After investigation it has ejected two of its injectors. The garage believe it would have left the dealer in a state and all this didn't happen in just 70 miles owing to the sheer mess and how congealed the gunk is around injectors. Do I have any recourse with the company? Appreciate being a newbie I've technically bought via the ad and not by physically seeing the vehicle and should have refused delivery, but my partner accepted the car as I was away for the day. Im set to loose badly over this one potentially, if anyone has any idea to rights that would be fantastic, if I've just got to suck it up then a massive expensive lesson has been learned! Thanks in advance!
