Elite Car Centre Bournemouth

Bought a car from these people and had to spend nearly £1,000 to get all the problems resolved which brake discs, brake pad, tracking & coils. Should have taken it back for a refund but had travelled too far.

I wish that I had read the above review before going to this dealer. I bought what appeared to be a lovely car in clean condition inside and out. We left the forecourt in daylight and, as it grew darker, we turned the lights on. Only one headlight worked. We went straight back and it was fixed. On the monday afterwards, it wouldn't start. The battery was dead. We replaced it. We should have taken it back and demanded a refund then but, being soft, we thought that we had just had a duff battery. Oh what fools we were. Since then we have had to pay hundreds of pounds and it has broken down and we have had to be recovered 5 times in 11 months. It is now in the Vauxhall dealership garage and they have listed a catalogue of faults with it. It was, and still is, a deathtrap. It's now going to be scrapped and we are thousands of pounds poorer. This dealer should be avoided at all costs.

Avoid this car dealer at all costs. Falsely advertises cars and problems. Purchased a car from this dealership, and subsequently found that it had thousands of pounds worth of problems that needed fixing. Main dealership independently assessed the car, I was told that it was unsafe and that it had falsely been put through its MOT. Further investigation found that the dealer was involved in illegal trading practices, and that he had intentionally masked hidden problems with the car in order to sell it to me. I only want to warn other buyers, I am now thousands out of pocket, please do not fall into the same trap as I did.
