I really hope it is a good one this time.
The last car I bought from a dealer in Barry, about 5 months ago , had a new clutch put on it before I bought it and his mechanic did something wrong, damaged the layshaft bearing or put the wrong oil in gearbox, according to a garage near me - because three-and-a-half months later the layshaft in the gearbox began making a noise. Took it back, he said there was play but acceptable and it would "drive to Scotland and back - no problem". Just 43 miles later in a catastrophic failure of the gearbox put the car off the road, I've done a SORN on it today. (off the road for good).
I spent £1,500 for a piece of junk and the onus and cost is on me...cheaper to scrap it
I had already spent £500 on faults during lockdown because he shut up shop....
So this car I've bought from a reputable car dealer, in Ipswich, with 3 months warranty and I paid for an extra two years warranty just in case.
Light travels faster than sound.
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
