, didn't feel to bad about that they are all crooks anyway[/quote]
Yep that's good thinking , sell it to a dealer - wonder what he does with it ?
People like you need to be given a good boot up the you know what - you deseve all you get from dealers - when did YOU last give a dealer a full list of all the items wrong or in need of repair when you sold it to him so he could pass the information along or make the necessry repairs?
I have known many dealers over many years - never seen them put a fault IN a car yet?
Most of the so called "crooks" are not licensed dealers at all , just backyarders buying and selling cars illegally - buy from them and save money - they don't have to comply with a mountain of legislation and compliance - and get what you deserve.

I knew what he was going to do with it, give it to his Son, next time I called around he told me they had put a new (reconditioned) engine in, he did not blame me he knew that's the
name of the game he played with his costumers himself
,( crap , he just recognised you for the shonk you are and went along with it because it suited him) just as people at the time bought from him with 1 month warranty, after that your problem. ( how much warranty did you give?)
Costumers? was he in the rag trade as well?
And if you have never heard of garages cheating people you must have been living in some kind of cocoon, because it happens every day, motorist organizations works with complaints in their hundreds every year, and that includes proper brand dealerships aswell, on top you have garages cheating with service ect. ect.
This is the reason ever more stringent consumer protection laws have been implemented the last many years, because there was good reason to.
Besides I have two personal friends owning car dealerships, one Ford dealer in England and a Renault dealer in Europe, and they have told me plenty of tricks and the goings on even today Mate.
So better if you try to boot yourself, you might wake up to the harsh reality's [/quote]
Listen Mate I have been a licensed dealer for over 40 years and yes I have seen some rogues and fired a few rogue salesmen but far and away the greatest liars and cheats are in the general public - not all, but many - unlike you I won't generalise to justify my own lack of ethics.
Every dealer has a " never to be sold to again book" -I have sat on "fair trading tribunals" and caught them out lying under oath - never lost a tribunal hearing yet, even when the clerks at "Fair Trading" have told them "He's a dealer so you may as well have a go" ! ( they're so "fair and unbiased").
Yes there are plenty of tricks but if you are licensed dealer you Don't want the agro and you Do want the repeat business!
Next I suppose you'll tell me all dealers wind speedos back?
