Relatively minor fault.

Now that's right. Whip off a door card, put in another motor from a breakers yard. Or better yet, spray with WD40 through the catch and hope it lasts a month.

Yes he would and rightly so.

The dealer should have spotted the fault when he valued the car.

We only ever lok at the car for a few minutes, so we're allowed to miss things.

Maybe use dealers should use that line when a customer comes back with a fault..

"it was there when you bought it, but you never noticed it.."

Everyone thinks us dealers are vile people. But you should see some of the !!!!!! we have to deal with. Not to mention the contstant lies from folk.

You heard it from a trader. That's what they think of their customers.

Dealers should be well aware of the saying caveat emptor - buyer beware!

Oh we are.

We're well used with unscrupulous customers trading in cars with serious hidden faults.

When I look at a car I directly ask if there are any faults, any major components changed, any accident repairs etc.
I expect a truthful answer, otherwise I would be scrabbling about for days going over every hinge, bolt, belt etc.

When I traded mine in I did the same, he asked me if there were any faults, so I told him honestly.

Remember who you are going to be speaking to if you have a problem with your new one in a few weeks time.

Of course they are all crooks though :j:j
