Brand new evoque delivered but had accident on the way to me

Sammy77

Yes I understand that I just feel like I been lied to when it wasn't a windscreen chop it was an accident where the third party's car is been badly damaged and the person has been injured, and I had to find out by my insurance company. I have phoned the lease company where I got it from and waiting for an answer

It's very rare for any car to leave the factory without needing cosmetic repairs, so in reality there is no true "brand new condition". It's more of an emotional statement than a practical one, if that makes sense?

I'm getting the impression though that these are more than just "cosmetic repairs" ... and that's what OP wants to find out for sure.

OP - if the garage/lease company won't tell you, cancel the lease agreement(assuming you're still in time). That'll buck their ideas up.

The impression im getting is that OP isn't happy that the car has been in an accident, in the same way you'd be p1ssed if it were a brand new car you'd just bought outright. People do see these cars as belonging to them, even when they clearly don't, the difference between aspiration and reality.

But the OP is paying to lease a brand new car. You can lease used cars which are cheaper. Therefore they have the right to expect a brand new car.

I understand that alot of new cars will have been touched up in some way due to transport damage but that is minor compared to a car being in an accident severe enough where someone was injured - that is not transport damage!

If you look at all the cars on Bristol Docks you should know there is a body shop there to fix all the dents and dings etc in transit.

Any actual real evidence of this or are you repeated hearsay and / or repeating an Internet myth?

Quite.
I'm sure that leasing a car that had been used as a bumping car would have been a lot cheaper.

Cancel the lease if you can.

I would want an original manufacture windscreen, not one of those cheapo specials Auto Windscreens (and others) fit.

As you wouldn't be the owner, would you have a right to demand that? I guess it would depend what terms and wording is used in the lease contract.

I bet if you tried to hand it back at the end of the lease if you'd fitted some cheapo windscreen you would be paying to have an OE one fitted though

If thats true i find it banal.

Who employs drivers who seem to crash cars regularly and instead of addressing the behavious employs and entire bodyshop to deal with all the accidents? :eek:

And also

(a) manufacturers are blissfully unaware
(b) dealers are blisfully unaware

I'd be addressing the behaviours rather than fixing the symptoms.
