BUY FROM AN AUCTION :- YOU'LL BE SAFER!
I wasn't allowed to test drive. I had to arrange appointment to even collect my car, said invoice and warranty would be in it, it wasn't. Chased for weeks to get a copy of the invoice, but no warranty info was included. The worst is that the transmission drops into limp home EVERY drive after 10 minutes and engine timing fault triggers EML if you rev it. XS automotive was very defensive and kept saying 'we would have a problem!' and they feel the Sales of Goods Act doesn't apply to them (hint it does). Also the alleged "warranty" is a £250 limit! That's ridiculous on a Ford let alone a Porsche. Currently progressing legal options, trading standards, smalls claim and bailiffs if necessary to recover my cash. Buying from an auction instead, its cheaper and you get time to check for faults and reject the vehicle. Worst experience I have every had in the 20+ cars bought over 30 years! Looking to dump this on WBAC if it cannot be sensibly fixed, as I wouldn't inflict on a private buyer.
