*AVOID AVOID*, SHARP TACTICS, UNTRUSTWORTHY, *AVOID AVOID*
I visited Sascron to view a specific car I'd seen on Autotrader. I had a p/x vehicle that they inspected and offered me £5,500 for. I had to pay a £1,000 deposit and we arranged to conclude the deal 4 days later. BIG MISTAKE! I was asked to pay the balance by bank transfer the day before collection, but as there was some work to be done I decided to wait until the pick-up so I could check it. GOOD DECISION!
On the day, they asked to take my p/x car for a test drive. They returned with some total BS story about a noise they could hear at higher speeds and would now only offer £4,000. I drove the car for over 200 motorway miles that day and the only noise was the normal engine hum the car has had for 5 years. It was total BS to try and stiff me out of more cash.
To cap it all off, they refused to refund my deposit, despite the fact that the receipt clearly states that the deposit is refundable. Legal action pending!
Another more reputable dealer has since offered £6,200 for my car.
