How this forum saved us from a dodgy ds7

Unfortunately, this dealer is not prepared to take a hit on a car he has taken a chance on at auction and got burnt, and this will sadly be at someone else’s expense. You can tell the level of dishonesty when you look at the flood of positive reviews on autotrader that appear in short periods of time for the dealer. The dealer doesn’t have enough cars to warrant so many reviews on a short period of time!!

I also enquired about the car and got a reply that did everything possible to skirt around the issue but sound reassuring. The dealer is playing on the fact it has a fresh MOT (if love to see an invoice for the brakes that were previously an advisory - bet they’ve not been replaced) and AA inspection. He can’t accept that a MOT won’t find the poor Hidden damage repairs, neither will the AA.

Seems like it got sold. perhaps the new owner will find his/her way here soon…

Unfortunately that appears to be the case - showing as taxed and MOT’d. I know the dealer wouldn’t have told them everything so will only be a matter of time before they find their way here or reject the car.

I doubt very much they’ll take the car back again and try to pin everything back on the buyer.

Hopefully - if they do find their way here I’ll try and help them out as much as I can :+1:t2:

yes absolutely its unbelievable isn’t it.
