to be honest i would end this thread there, the car is sold so thats that.
some people just have too much to say these days lol
still for sale on ebay
YOU forgot to READ THE 30 DAY MONEYBACK GUARANTEE and 12 month warranty; so the dealer would sell a shi77ed car only to have it returned back; use ur brain matey
^^^^^^^^^^wrong^^^^^^ if you know nothing about cars how will you know if it is s**t!!!
IS THIS A SHOUTING COMPETITION CAN I JOIN IN?
Listen mate, i bought my own 182 from a dealer and just about had them over a barell with the work that needed done so dont give me s**te about how its mint or its this or that im frankly not interested.
You're making out that this is going to be the best example since one rolled off the factory floor - this isnt the case. A 12 month warranty doesnt make it a good example for f**k sake!
^^^exactly right^^^^
i done the exact same thing bought my 182 from manchester renault i drove up there on
two occasions to inspect the car before buying it.
when i finally bought the car and got it back and started checking things in more detail(taking it apart and checking stuff)
in which i don't think a dealer will be to impressed if you turned up with aload of tools
and started stripping it on the forecourt to find faults with it.!!
any way this is what was wrong with mine and it took longer than 30days for renault to sort out:
service history book stamped saying the cambelt and aux kit had been changed
checked these and they had not touched them !!ruk investigated it and i was right.
slam panel/front o/s wing all bolts not tightend up.
upper radiator mounting brackets had no bolts in them.
they said they had changed the pre-cat lambada sensor few days later that packed up!!
when it was changed the one that was meant to be "new" was well f**ked
had a scuff on the front bumper (which i did know about) was told the paint correction person was on holiday and they would get renault wolverhampton's paint guy to come out to my house to do it!! no show.
centre box baffles had failed.
i was fobbed off for over a month by renault about all the above problems everytime i
phoned the person i needed to speak to was always ill or on holiday
so contacted ruk and they was useless
after threatening to take the car back they told me it was out of the 30day take back
period which was their fault as they constantly fobbed me off.
after some big rows with ruk and renault manchester they finally done the following.
timing belt kit
aux belt kit
bumper scuff done
new lambada sensor
replaced the bolts missing in radiator brackets
new centre box
all under the warranty but they dragged their heels with it all.
then once i got it back they had bent the front sills/jacking points.
and a really bad exhaust rattle so i sent it straight back and they then told me the cat had started to break down and was not willing to pay nearlly £2000 for a new one as all the profit made on the car had been used to put the other things right!!!
at this point they offered to buy the car back off me! i told them b****cks because i had just spent a few months getting it bloody sorted.
they agreed that a stainless steel system would work out cheaper and they agreed that if i bought one and got it fitted and sent them the invoices they would re imberse me the money!
which they did ao thanks renault for my k-tec ultra exhaust system and cat.
i know most people will think iam a tw*t for buying the car but you don't notice alot of things just by looking over a car on forecourt and having a 10 min test drive.
i will never buy a used car from a dealer again. the best examples of cars are found on owners forums like this one from people who cherish their cars and look after them(most of them lol)
i bet £10 that that ly 182 has things wrong in which renault hope you don't notice!!!!
they are tossers.
**** me off as much as you like i can take it.:rasp:
