purchased a vehicle from lonsdale motors, described as immaculate and with a full service history, well, first problem on day one which to give him his due was fixed (or at least appears to be). then the interior started to fall to bits which 'isn't covered by the warranty', then took in for a further 2 problems, one of which appears to be repaired the other is apparently not a problem. the water pump can be a big problem if it seizes and snaps the cambelt and the engine goes bang!
took the vehicle to a reputable garage where it has cost me nearly £500 to put back to being 'immaculate'
had the car 6 weeks and done 300 miles in it, dealer refuses to return any money, refuses to admit there are problems with the vehicle. trading standards are involved but can't do anything as the dealer knows, which leads me to think he has done this many times before. two words for you. STAY AWAY!
