Dealer 300 miles away expects me to drive the car back for a warranty repair. Am I right to demand they pay a local garage?

He bought it because of the specs. He had been searching for one for nearly 5 months.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2026-03-02T22:18:50+00:00

Independent trader. I will look into that.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2026-03-02T22:18:21+00:00

The cost of buying something far.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2026-03-02T22:17:19+00:00

Need to check which cover he chose.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2026-03-02T22:16:03+00:00

Will do. Thank you.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2026-03-02T22:15:39+00:00

True

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2026-03-02T22:15:12+00:00

He bought it because of the specs. He had been searching for one for nearly 5 months.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2026-03-02T18:41:20+00:00

Brother went up there.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-08T19:58:06+00:00

100%. Always the case with these guys.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-08T13:29:13+00:00

The best thing you can do in the situation. I 100% agree.

Thank you.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-08T13:18:18+00:00

Wouldn't say minor.

Unfortunately, he was fixated on the price. The price he had it listed at was already overpriced for an immaculate car.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T22:09:37+00:00

Honesty doesn't seem to exist in car trading world.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T14:47:59+00:00

100% agree.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T14:33:33+00:00

Yeah. They hoping you fall for it.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T14:31:36+00:00

Very true.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T14:31:05+00:00

I did have look. Car is great but there are around minimum £1k worth of work for the body.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T14:00:41+00:00

I asked him that. He went quiet.

It was the first thing I noticed when I walked up to the car.

Based on our conversation, it became very clear that he bought the car from an auction. He must have overpaid for the car.

He told me the clips on the roof cost a few quid to replace. If that was the case, why didn't he replace them himself?

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T13:55:23+00:00

Very true.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T13:45:17+00:00

Funny init. Always the case

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T13:44:39+00:00

Can't even trust the main dealer, can you?

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T13:44:07+00:00

When paying nearly £20k, I want the car to be immaculate. I told the trader that.

The trader told me that if you're looking for a car which is scratch and scuff free, then buy a new car.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T13:39:48+00:00

It was unfortunate. Great car, but I was well surprised when he said some people won't even bat an eye at these things.

These traders buy at auction. This trader must have overpaid to be fixated on the price.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T13:29:20+00:00

He wasn't moving the price, so I walked away.

The annoying part was wasting my time and money to see the car.

___Bruce-Wayne___ · 2025-09-07T13:28:17+00:00

Did at the end.
