Good mecanic and cheap
I saw an advert on gumtree for an alfa romeo 1.4 turbisto which was great. It had 12 months mot and some service history with a good mileage of 76000. I went to view the car and the car was awfully dirty. The engine sounded good, almost like an extra exhaust was put I which I didn't mind. Test drive was done and vehicle was purchased. That day I was due to drive the from Leicester to London with my father. We went to get petrol and as we filled the tank we noticed that the fuel cap would not securely pop in, my father said this should've never passed MOT as it is very dangerous. Then we noticed the car charger wasn't working and when we informed the dealership his words were ' we didn't know as we don't use the car.' This has got to be one of the most stupidest response I could've heard. Surely when you put a vehicle up for sale you as a dealership will know what is good of the car and what isn't. Anyway these were minor faults as they were only 10 to fix since I got the car for 1700 due to body works. As we noticed these little things in the car my father decided he wanted to check the engine, only to find out that the bonnet handle was MISSING, not broken MISSING. This is where we started to get suspicious of the car because at least if the bonnet lever was broken you would still be able to see the cable leading into the bonnet, but no whole thing was missing, so at this point we were scared to drive the car back to London because this is a serious issue. Then things just started getting bad to worse, one of the interior light bulbs went out and the heater only worked on level 4. Meaning level 1, 2, 3 were not working. It was late and there was no way of us going back to the dealership. We were practically stranded and we needed to get back to London that same night. We just prayed throughout the whole journey to London and hoped for the best. My father agreed to take the vehicle to the mechanics to do a full check on the vehicle for the next two days. When it was time to take the vehicle to the mechanics the car decided not to start. It took him 30 mins to start the car back up again. When it was taken t the mechanics, the mechanic said he was even scared to touch the car because he explained that it looks like somebody is purposely ripped the bonnet lever and that it would need to go to someone higher than him. He was able to open the bonnet with pliers, when opened the whole thing was brown rusty and dirty, furthermore the whole you could see the whole tyre and the floor when it was opened. Lets please remember that on the advertisement they did not state that the vehicle had any problems WHATSOEVER. At this point we had decided we no longer want this car and needed to be returned back to dealership at this point. When we contacted the dealership and explained all faults that were of the car and not mentioned on the advertisement they said they didn't want to issue a refund and they as a garage were entitled to repair anything wrong with vehicle. We explained we didn't want this but they still insisted. They said to bring the vehicle back to Leicester so we could discuss our options. The vehicle was going to be brought back that same week. Now for the most scariest part of the experience, as we drove the car back to Leicester THE STEERING LOCKED ON US WHILE DRIVING AT 60MPH 2 my father has been driving for 25+ so not for experience he could've been in a serious car accident. This was the last straw for us, we made it safely back to the garage and explained all of this. There was no sympathy whatsoever and they were rude arrogant and obnoxious. Not until my dad explained he worked for the MIF their attitudes changed straight away, the offered us the full refund and apologised. The mot was fake, they got their garage b=next door to pass it, the car was not road worthy and in the process my father could've lost his life. We're in the process of suing the company and we urge anybody looking to buy from there not to!!!!!!!
