Check before you buy from Spencer’s Cars

I recently bought a Mazda from these people.The salesman seemed like a decent bloke.As a pensioner I put my faith in him.Wrong decision because unknown to me the car had accident damage which had been repaired not through any insurance.After buying the car it was spotted by a body repair friend in the motor trade who has a trained eye.The car had severe damage on the near side doors and quarter panel.The oil and filter had not been changed as the oil was dirty black.It should have been a nice golden brown for a petrol engine with 29k on the clock.I had it changed along with other filters. Make if you are buying a car from Spencer’s that you check the oil via the dipstick, something they should have done.Secondly either take a trained person with you or take a good magnet to check for body filler. Spencer’s would not even as a good will gesture offer me 1k back off a £ 9700 car which I requested. I am gutted by these people and feel that I had been robbed.Even Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask. BEWARE.
