Why is it in every thread about a used car from a dealer, you always try to derail it by touting the same old stories about how wonderful dealers are, and customers should always think themselves lucky if they even show any interest after the money's changed hands. Give a rest, and if you have nothing actually useful to say, say nothing instead.

Because i'm tired of people randomly throwing out balls about the motor trade and when pulled on it, they cant actually provide any evidence to back it up.

There are a LOT of dealers out there doing their best to do a good job. Like any industry there are a small percentage who dont play by the rules but sadly thats life and the sooner unscrupulous people in any industry are weeded out the better.

I am more than happy to advise and help people as and when i can, and i will continue to do so.

Sorry if telling it how it really is, as opposed to how a minority on here are trying to portray it, annoys you.

However, with heading towards 4500 'thanks', i'm clearly doing something right, contrary to your own personal opinion (and stats for that matter).

Well, 4500 likes! Conclusive proof that all car dealers are solely there to help the customer, all cars are 100% straight, and everyone must be happy. We heard it here first, and it must be true, you're a car dealer, trust me, my stats prove it!

Nope. Not what i'm saying at all. And if you bothered to read any of my posts you'd know that.

Still waiting on your apology, from post #43 on this thread.

Though as i said, its very easy to throw out unsubstantiated remarks, and then keep your head down when you're pulled on it.

That does seem to be your way, after all, when you look through some of the other threads you "comment" on.

Unsubstantiated remarks? Like your motor trader use of stats? Thanked nearly 4200 times, so you must be right? Whereas in reality, it's 4376 in 2950 posts, or 1.48 times per post, and mine is 42 in 29 posts, 1.45 times per post. Then you wonder where the 1 careful owner jokes come from?

So is the trader required to fix my heated front screen as well? Considering it was advertise having it?

Not everybody who has dealt with a bad trader complains to the oft.

Thing is, MG, it's like the "supermarket fuel issue" - no-one ever posts online about the times they fill up and the car uses the whole tank without any issues!

If it helps, I can honestly say that in 58 years of motoring, I have never had any problem with supermarket fuel, either petrol or diesel. There, now someone has posted on the subject.

Yes - no if's, no but's, no motorguy, just yes, he is required to fix it, even if it means he has to stump up for a replacement screen, or an auto electrician to sort out the wiring.

I agree. Well Ive taken the car to his approved garage. I hope they just fix it. I know where the guy lives. If he doesnt fix it ill ask for a refund.

Yes. If its fitted to the car it should be working.

The caveat to that would be if he had written on the invoice otherwise.
