Oi, nowt wrong with the ST LOL. Sadly there are some very poor franchise dealers and like anything, it takes a few to destroy the reputation of decent places. Ironically, it was an ex rozza car that had been clocked. Chin up and move onwards and upwards.

Hi Mick


I wouldn't be put off from buying from a dealer. The way I see it is that you have managed to walk away with a refund. You will hopefully be more vigilant in the future. Don't take this in a negative way. That not my intention.

It's a fact that that many of us let our guard down to some extent when we go to a dealership thinking we are gona get a decent vehicle because we believe we are in good hands. Even when we notice issues on test drives etc.. and the promise of any issues being sorted by the time the car is yours.

I know when I bought my first few cars, I would examine them with a fine tooth comb even thou they were less than a £1K. My recent purchase of my XC90 was probably the worst in terms of me being vigilant, I did not even look under the hood, The fact that I was in a dealership automatically had a calming effect and made me complacent.


In my earlier post I recommended Car Giant based just outside London
I have purchased 3 car from there and my family members have purchased many cars from there. They will definitely restore your faith in independent car dealers. Service is better than the service I get from my local Volvo dealership. And the variety of cars they have in stock is amazing

This is just my opinion

Volvo uk along with harratts group have offered a full refund or full repair of the vehicle or exchange it goes to show that at the higher end of management they do care and have feelings not like the rouge sales man
Is this a French Socialist ??
