I've removed oil stains on block drives by applying a liberal dose of washing-up liquid and leaving it to soak in for a couple of days. On one occasion, overnight rain meant I didn't have to rinse it off.

I've removed paint by turning the blocks over.

I still think dealerships and companies with a well known name still use the psychology of the matter to sell overpriced goods. Someone will go into a main dealership and buy a used car, or a specialist dealer etc and pay well over the odds for that "piece of mind" yet they wouldnt buy the exact same car at that price from a typical used car dealer who sells them on his driveway.

Dealerships know this so they dont have to put any effort into their customer service, where as the independant, which still has a reputation for being "dodgy", has to work very hard for custom. Even though in my experience the big dealers are just as arrogant, clueless and willing to rip you off but they do enough business for the complaints to be in the minority....

Would the warranty still apply to the second owner of the vehicle?

Yes Hyundai and KIA warrantys are fully transferable free of charge, of course the vehicle should have been (and be) serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's schedule.

Thanks happy polo and alfatrike regarding Transit.

My experience of Transits is that it is a decent drive although the turning circle on the long wheelbase was a bit too wide for my liking. The internal comfort and trim can be quite acceptable but the only bit that is a real put-off is the actual passenger access which is essential for a passenger carrying vehicle. When using a standard factory minibus with the sliding left door, it has a door stop which means it has such limited opening that leaves a very narrow entrance that proves to be a nuisance especially for some larger folk. Also, the ridiculous seat nearest the sliding door with its essential but obstructive guard rail is a definite negative. In other words, Transits may be very practical and roomy as vans, but they have missed out rather badly when using it as a bus. I suppose a coach-built option that the builders have redesigned thinking carefully of seat positioning and door access would make it quite desirable, but until I see such a creature I will remain unconvinced....
