P L Car Sales

Bought a car here last year. After half year, I can confirm its reliable. PL provided good after-sales service, he was helpful to sort minor issues for me quickly.

So far, so good! Friendly and approachable owner, I honestly couldn't fault the service my partner and I received today.

Went to view a van yesterday on the forecourt having travelled a 6 hour round trip in total to see the van. Before i left i made it clear to the owner that if there was anything wrong with the vehicle to make it clear as i was coming from a long way, all was fine apparently. Upon arrival the vehicle was in great condition aesthetically and was generally a really nice example of a van of this age. Having jumped in it to take it for a test drive I put my foot on the clutch and it sank to the floor like a knife into warm butter. Quite clearly the clutch had no more than a few hundred miles left in it. Having consulted the owner about the vehicle I was told by him that he wasn't aware of this what so ever. Unfortunately from the way he went about this conversation it was very clear he did. I was told by the owner that he had been in the vehicle sales industry for 35 years and driven the vehicle himself 50 miles, seems like a long time for someone that cant recognise a knackered clutch over a 50 mile trip? Despite this I asked for 500 off the vehicle as id come such a long way that I thought id at least try and make it worthwhile and get it fixed. I was then told that If i didn't buy it today he was actually going to put the price up tomorrow? Seems like an odd thing to do to a vehicle thats likely going to need a 750 clutch repair job. I really do not enjoy writing these reviews as its a waste of my time however, having made a 6 hour journey at the cost of 75, to just be sent straight back again I am understandably annoyed and feel that people like this need to change their ways. Why try it on with me like that? A day of my life wasted which could easily of been avoided, if you plan to put the price up from 4000, why not repair the clutch and sell it for 4500-4750 and do it the respectable way, not try and flog a vehicle to someone who cant spot the faults and then they land up with a knackered clutch and a 750 bill in a few weeks time.
