"OK the guy who emailed me is a director and comany secretary and founded the garage in 1977.
Heres what they wrote
Sorry to hear your warranty is not valid at your local dealer. We have clarified with our dealers, Fish Bros in Swindon, that as the vehicle has 4 documented services, it has a Toyota 5 year/100,000 miles warranty, valid nationally.
Perhaps after you have had it serviced with your local dealer, they may be more helpful, but if you have any issues, we will arrange to have it dealt with at our local dealer."
Further thoughts on this:
Your local main dealer is saying that (presumably based on Toyota main computer records) the warranty is invalid. Presumably any other main Toyots dealer will consult the same records and come to the same conclusion. (Worth checking?)
If that is the case, the national Toyota warranty is invalid and no matter what sort of relationship the seller has with Fish Bros the sale was misrepresented. Up to you what you do next - but I know what I'd do.
(I note that your seller is not disputing that the warranty is not valid at a main dealer - and what do they mean by 'our dealers'? . Perhaps I'm just being cynical.)
