RIP off merchants

Paid £3500 for a Citroen c3 automatic I was told that the car had come from a main dealer and that the car was A, picked the car up next day and went to fill it up and discovered that it had no indicators working so went straight back and told them they replied as it was a Saturday I would have to come back on Monday for them to get it done, so I drove home with the car using hand signals after a couple of miles smoke started coming from under the bonnet so I stopped and lifted the bonnet to find that the battery cover had been taken off and left on the exhaust I rang them and told them and they said they would have a new one fitted, took the car back on Monday and I was told I would have to leave it with them for a couple of days I told him that I wasn’t very happy and that the car was making a banging noise on the nearside front when ever I hit a bump and I was concerned about it as the car had just passed its mot, gave some lame excuse and said he would get everything done, no offer to run me home so had to get the train, two days later got the car back and the front suspension noise and the indicators had been done but on driving home I noticed that the passenger side window switch was not working as well as the rear parking sensors so rang again and was told that they would order the parts and ring me back when they had them, you guessed never heard nothing from them and could not contact them, bought the parts and done. it myself, after just 3500 miles the auto gearbox is now playing up and making grinding noises so I decided to take the car back to their site and let them hear it when I arrived the site was empty and deserted, so I have a car that needs a gearbox at a cost of nearly two grand which I am not prepared to pay so it sits outside my house as an ornament if you are thinking of buying a car avoid these cowboys at all costs I believe they are trading from their homes now and taking the car to the customers house so be very sure you check them out before you get yourself a pup!!
