The only deal done on the oil light was that he would fix it, or no deal! We had seen him the day before, and he'd got his lad to give the car a quick run before we took the test drive on the Sunday. Car was on his lot for about two weeks prior to our interest. His lad reported the fault to him, and he told me. I'd be far more suspicious of a dealer who said nothing, and then acted all surprised when I reported it back to him after the test drive, because yes the dealer should know if such problems are present. The dealer has a signed contract to correct the issue before the deal is finalised. He has a couple of hundred quid as a deposit, the remaining several thousand will not be his until I am satisfied he has corrected the issue. In addition there is a warranty. If all else fails I'll see him in the small claims court. I know little/nothing of US or European law, but UK contract law is pretty watertight, and the small claims court, whilst slow, does get results eventually. I know car dealers have a bad reputation in the UK, but I have a nose for a scallywag, and he doesn't make it twitch. Cheers Al By the way, any opinions on upgrading the ECU? Abbot and Speedparts offer +40 and +65bhp? It's the wife's car so it probably won't happen but opinions would be appreciated.
