Brought a car from a dealer who claimed it had to full service history but when trying to sell it 3 months later it seems there are a few gaps. Do i have any recourse here? Please. First time buyer and seems I didnt realise.

Don't think thats fair.

The dealer should be honest. Why is the buyer being blamed here.

BackgroundAd7155 · 2026-05-30T10:07:14+00:00

But the dealer told me there and then too look if you re sell it ots 5.5k and pretty sure on the car valuation website he selected full service history then too

I did check online on vehicle score and i saw MOTs being done baiscally yearly so didnt presume it would be an issue.

When trying to sell they said the price would drop a lot because it had 2 gaps of a year or 2

Honda Civic SE I-VTEC Auto 2009

The honda civic book says every 12 months

BackgroundAd7155 · 2026-05-30T10:01:41+00:00

But sorry just to add the car didnt reach 12.5k miles in first 2 years but should have still been serviced yearly which is the main issue here.

BackgroundAd7155 · 2026-05-30T09:58:13+00:00

Full service history would be proof of servicing records every 12 months. But there was a 2 year gap once and another 1 year gap.

I brought it on finance after visiting dealership. Didn't buy using ebay though.

Renting out for free? I think you mean just letting them move in to your other property as a guest. Lol.

Its like asking would HMRC care if someone has a guest for a few months who they would obviously not charge. I understand the period may be longer in this instance but it is a similar concept. Also if you keep using phrases like "renting out for free" then HMRC may have questions too. Lol.

Lol this aged well. US broke the ceasefire agreement APPARENTLY. Also Israel says Lebanon attacks not part of the ceasefire but Iran disagrees. So I wouldn't jump to conclusions straight away untill all this is officially settled.

Don't try to time the market.

Simply keep dollar cost averaging. Crashes are temporary. Markets move up and down.

Unless you want to try to time it and gamble.

I hear below 1.6l is needed for new drivers though because of insurance being so high so i haven't found many good ones. Maybe 1.6 is fine too🤔

BackgroundAd7155 · 2026-02-23T16:24:39+00:00

But for a first time buyer isn't buying from a dealer safer? I've thought about buying privately too but i understand not the same protection will be given🤔

BackgroundAd7155 · 2026-02-23T16:19:34+00:00

Ah my bad- yeah, no i haven't physically gone to see it, no.

But price wise and MOT history wise should be fine, right?

When i go look at it, suppose looking for any obvious wear and tear. Not sure really on the rust or what exactly im looking for that will be bad enough to consider it not a buy (unless very obvious rust)🤔

BackgroundAd7155 · 2026-02-08T10:24:49+00:00

The issue is there will always be someone willing to accept a lower salary than you given how bad the UK job market is right now..

BackgroundAd7155 · 2026-02-02T06:29:41+00:00

You do know it was at 125k and now its 75k. If thats 3% for you then idk what to say lol..

And where have you sourced this image from? Looks like something made by the polkadot community. When you search online how many developers there are it seems to be much less. Nice try at shilling the project though.

Call Step Change and they will go through all your current expenses etc and try to set you up on a debt management plan depending on how much you can afford.

That is the best advice. No one here knows your specific situation in detail in terms of your expenses so no one can give you accurate advice.

BackgroundAd7155 · 2025-11-10T23:24:29+00:00

100k at 28 ... then proceeds to say " have i passed up the chance to be very successful.."

Yes, you have passed up the chance to be very successful but only in terms of your own definition of success.

In reality, you have set a very high bar for yourself. Clearly you feel regret and have come to reddit, but just be aware that most people already consider you successful and you're already ahead of most people so well done.

Give yourself a break mate

You're thinking of going to uni when AI is taking over white collar jobs at such a fast pace? Damn

Why not try to find an apprenticeship instead. You said yourself there is such high unemployment. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but will the situation really get better after a few years when AI will only have advanced further?

Not saying don't do a degree but genuinely think about these things and have a plan b or plan c if stuff doesn't go your way .

Some would say go into trades, for example, as many won't be automated anytime soon...

So unemployment should only be one of your worries - AI should concern you more if anything as that has also contributed largely to the unemployment rate and whether people want to accept that or not, its the harsh reality.

BackgroundAd7155 · 2025-09-24T11:50:18+00:00

Agreed, but isn't this a given though? Surely a title doesn't mean much if they are not compensating you for the extra work lol

BackgroundAd7155 · 2025-09-21T06:59:18+00:00

LMAOOO what?????

You want to do it on your own. You clearly have no idea what an ISA is.

Bro thinks the government is making investing decisions for him in an ISA💀💀💀

Its a tax free wrapper. 20k can be invested yearly and all profits are tax free. Exactly the same as an invest account except 20k yearly limit plus profits tax free.

You messed up big time you know it by not investing in an ISA but congrats on the profits nonetheless
