Well thought I'd test the waters and tell the trader I bought my Cayenne from that I've had enough and he needs to fix it, pay for Porsche to fix it, or give me my money back.
He called me back and refused point blank! Said my warranty was for £250 only, not even per claim.
Pushing him a bit I said the TPMS sensors didn't work, he said it wasn't in the ad so he's not responsible for resolving the fault. I admit bursting out laughing. On the other hand the ad didn't mention it having an engine and he doesn't want to be responsible for resolving that, so at least he's being consistent
He said its a limited warranty else he'd go bankrupt tearing down engines. Oh that's ok, I'll just go bankrupt instead shall I :x
He said it was fine when he sold it and doesn't know how it was treat since, despite me emailing him the faults the very 1st time I drove it.
He also said its a 12 year old car and you've got to expect to put money into it. I'd agree with that with regards to servicing, but basic running issues causing the transmission to fault? Nope, nope, nope.
Nearly lost my temper when he had the temerity to say to me more than once that 'we going to have a problem', nor did he feel that the Sale of Goods Act was of any relevance. :wall:
Not sure the legality of his position, but lets just say I expected this response from him.
He did say he'd pay the £250 if "I made it clear it was in full and final settlement".
Yeah I'll bet.
Tbh I don't think there's anything terminal, but that's not really the point is it?
Ok rant over
