Bought a Volvo V40 from Dave 8.5k with the 12 months warranty. 7 months later it started making a funny noise, turned out the gear box had gone, Dave told me to contact the warranty company which I did. They then sent an inspector out about 3 days later. They then refused to pay for any work and said it was down to wear and tear and it was a failed baring with in the gear box that was not covered. Dave then contacted A1 Approved warranty who then agreed to pay 1175 towards the cost which was a total of 2482 so less than half the cost. Then 2 weeks after getting the car back I found out the drivers side coil spring had snapped, which again the warranty company would not pay for as they said it was down to corrosion. So cost me another 182. I emailed Dave about this but he did not have the decentancy to reply never mind pay for it.

Bilsborrow Car Sales is a small car dealer which about a dozen cars on display when I visited them. I had spotted a car on Auto Trader, which I was very interested in buying. I called them and spoke with Dave who was very courteous and provided me with all the information I needed. When I visited a few days later, Dave gave me the keys to the car to inspect at my leisure. He also offered me a test drive of the car. I found the car to be excellent condition and found its performance faultless during the test drive. Dave then took my part exchange for a test drive to determine its value. He very quickly determined the faults with my part exchange and we settled on a fair price. After buying the car, I took it to my own garage for a checkup. The mechanics indicated that the car was in excellent condition. Dave was very courteous throughout the transaction and never pushed for a sale. He let me decide what to do, and business was concluded easily and promptly.

I purchase a Mini Paceman, after a week or so I became aware the start stop wasnt working advised by Dave that they knew and dont replace the battery as it cuts in to there profit, they didnt advise of it in the advert or when I agreed to Buy the car. also the car felt a little off and soon after the clutch started slipping, garage engorged first email about the issue, and just rude and unhelpful on further ones. after 3 months the car is mainly un drivable except for short runs, no motorway driving. Advised basically that the car got me home on the day of purchase and had no issues when sold Now faced with a 2000 repair bill and having to take them to court. Im sure if the car is right you will be ok, but in 25 years of buying cars this is the worst car and experience Ive had to date.
