Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Had some cash burning a whole in my pocket and fancied a new car!
What was the dealer like?
An idiot. Select Marques in Thirsk, North Yorkshire! Wouldn't set foot on his premises again let alone buy a car from him. Told me the car was straight and I found out shortly afterwards that it had been a CAT D write off. Alright, not the end of the world but just another dodgy dealer fleecing honest people. STEER WELL CLEAR!!
