Happy for people to tell me I'm wrong !
I bought a 2004 XTrail a month ago from a car dealer called "vip car sales" in mobberley in cheshire ( http://www.vip-carsales.co.uk/ )
The salesman seemed very nice, the car looked good and seemed to drive fine. I specifically asked about where they got the cars from and the salesman said they only bought from main dealers. They also went to say they stored cars for celebrities such as Wayne rooney.
Anyway the car was delivered and we soon noticed it was puffing out black smoke on harsh acceleration. I wasn’t too worried but no amount of blasting on the motorway or cleaner would stop it so though I would contact the previous owner and the garage that had serviced it the last few times. I couldn’t find any telephone for the previous owner but then when I eventually tracked down a number for the 'service garage' it turned out to be a car wash. Apparently someone was using a false stamp and said they were working out of the unit.
I have tried to contact the dealer by phone and many times by email to ask them to explain what they said about the dealer and service history but they will not answer any of my calls or emails.
Am I right at all to imply they have mis-sold me the vehicle and either ask for a refund or for any faults to be rectified
Many thanks
