You should contact them through Facebook and ask what warranty comes with it!Sauropod8 said:Thankyou everybody. Good to know we are in the right.
I have just seen the car advertised again on Facebook for £1200! Under a different name and profile to the one who bought it. They have said the clutch is gone in the description, but obviously they were just out to buy it as low as possible and get more money back afterwards before selling on extortionatley. Sickening.
