Hi,

 

I am in the process of buying a new car.

 

On their website it said their cars come with BuySure. Complimentary Breakdown cover for 12 months and with 6 months warranty. This was on their own website and the auto trader ad for the car. Please see attached. When I went in to buy, I was told the warranty would be £300 to extend to 12 months. I have complained and the most they would give me is the breakdown cover, not the warranty. I plan to go down today to have it out with them.

 

I'm kinda tied in as I have paid for my number plate to be switched. I have read today on the RAC site that cars sold by their partner dealers (such as the one I am dealing with) should come with the breakdown cover and a minimum of 3 months warranty (also attached). So they are still screwing me by telling me it only comes with 28 days warranty.

 

Am I misreading or understanding this or are they using this tactic to up-sell warranty. I plan to go in and let them know that am considering reporting them to auto trader, RAC and trading standards but before I do I want to make sure I don't have this wrong. 

 

Would you take it this way also?

Not yet. 

 

To be honest I'm not that bothered about having it as I've read the RAC warranties are pretty dud. I know I can use the consumer act to deal with any faults as it's a dealership. It's more the fact they seem to be using this to up-sell dishonestly.

I would tend to agree...there are lots of better alternatives...but at the least this need bringing to the attention of RAC and any other regulatory bodies.

Is this a main dealer or second hand ?

Probably wise to wait until your deal has gone through and you have the car before before making any waves.
