And after the first week, I like it.

Oh if I go for it, I want full refund. Sale of goods act applies. Car isn't fit for purpose, and isn't of merchantable quality (what I consider safety issues, and the paint chips which were supposed to be fixed before I collected). They didn't mention they didn't have time until I had sat at the desk, handed them the keys/information for the Saab and signed the V5C over and signed the trade in papers. He calmly said, "BTW, we haven't had chance to sort the paint, we will make you an appointment". Then he went and got car, handed me the keys, shook my hand said bye and buggered of inside.

You should go somewhere less pikey.

I don't beleive you anymore. You're in cahoots with SteveH and the pair of you are engineering this over MSN.

I'm a bit tall, and very porker. Close enough.

106kilos.

And no, that isn't why the IS is sluggish.

8^D

I got 255 on £45

I'm happy with this one apart from the fault. If I get rid it will be based on opinion of those who on here who know better. Not because I've strictly changed my mind.

I really wish I was.

Ok... enough bitching.

Have you contacted the fuckfaces concerned yet regarding the issues with the car?

If not, why not?

I finished the last of those yesterday... thank f*ck. ;-)

600 miles on 80 quid, without driving like a nun, and powerslides on demand. And mines an auto.

Yes I have, called them last Thursday, apparently they are really busy in the workshop, and the earliest they could get me in was this Thursday.

I'm seriously thinking not to even give them the chance, because I know they won't find the fault, never mind the cure in the couple of hours that they will have it. They told me they would sort two problems before handover, told me they had done one, and had done neither.

Enough reason to reject it.

buggeration.

Vorsprung durch not-an-audi...

Chin up dude, it'll work out :-)

175 miles on 24 quid. Without driving like a nun, but too much of a girly wuss to do powerslides.

Need bigger tank.

Elder gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Riiiiiight.

Anybody want odds on them not even being there this Thursday?

Indeed... and the longer he has it and the more miles he racks up on it, the weaker the case is to reject it on the grounds of not being fit to the purpose.

I'd dump the bloody thing back at their premises and demand a courtesy car on the grounds that the various problems add up to something potentially dangerous.

And if they've not got a courtesy car, hire something and charge it to them.

"JackH" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

WITHOUT telling 'em in advance that you're coming.
