Arnold Clark - BEWARE !

thegirlintheattic

I bought an ex-rental from Arnold Clark and was very happy with it. Only 6 months old and only a 1000 miles on the clock. Very cheap compared to a brand new car, no cosmetic damage at all.

"They failed to disclose the fact that it had been a Hire Car"

the law you quote quite clearly states=

If the vehicle is ex-rental

Are ex rentals really that bad? We hired one for our holiday and it had 115miles on the clock. We never once drove it like an idiot or did anything to it we wouldnt have did to our own car. We gave it back with 1200 miles on it!

It's a myth that ALL rental cars are abused etc.

Thaty said, did the OP buy their current car brand new or was that 2nd hand? If the latter - did they enquire as to what sort of driver it was?

Its like when retards phone us an ask about a car we have for sale "has it been owned by a smoker.." they ask. My reply "i'm not sure, we never get to speak to the owner to know about their personal life.."

"Next question please.."

Translated. - We got in cheap from the auctions, the head lining has gone brown, but we've had two cans of febreze in it.


Next dealer please.

Is that not a fair question to ask?

Yes, you will not know the owner, but only a retard would fail to kknow if it stunk of fags.

My OH smokes in our car - but always has the window down.

Headlining is white and the only smell in our car is the smell of the leather seats.

Same can be said about cars that have had dogs in them.

If there is no dog haor and no smell, then how are we to know if the driver of the car had a dog..

Could go on:

"Has the car been owned by a smoker who is incontinent and has a dog.."

Well if there is no dog hair to see, no dogs to smell, no fag smoke to smell and no p1ss stains on the seats the answer is still the same "We dont get to speak to the driver..."
