Do your research before buying

Long review but I urge you to read in full before you buy from Bayer I bought a car from Bayer 20th December 2023. The car is a Hybrid and developed a fault when driven in hybrid mode on a long journey. For transparency this was 4 months after buying the car but was the first time the car was driven a long distance in hybrid mode. This led me to believe the car had as fault when buying (I still believe this now). I sent an email to bayer and was ignored and subsequently followed up, only to be ignored further. It wasn’t until I issued court proceeding that I got a proper response from Elliot Bayer’s solicitor Lawgistics. This case eventually ended up in court and again for transparency I lost. The reasons I believe I lost are firstly, I misinterpreted the law and the burden of proof, so if taking Mr Bayer to court ensure you have a full diagnostic. Secondly, Mr Bayer conveniently told the court he didn’t receive any of my evidence, which was sent signed for. As I was unaware I would have to prove this on the day in court (and couldn’t) 99% of my evidence was dismissed. Elliot did receive my evidence and I believe he lied in court knowing I wouldn’t be given the chance to prove it was signed for. SEND EMAILS to his solicitor and Elliot, not letters if taking Bayer to court. I urge anyone buying a car from Bayer Car Sales not to, avoid at all cost and then you won’t be subjected to my experience and the experience of many others Below are his scores on review sites at time of posting Bayer car sales has an average score of 3* on trust pilot They have 2.5* on car dealer reviews, ranked 16 of 17 in Fareham and 9042 0f 9729 in the UK (there is a reason for this) Bayer have 3.9* on auto trader Google he has a 4* rating He is apparently also paying for 5* reviews and pressuring people into giving good reviews before handing over keys I urge you to read the reviews and make up your own mind before using Bayer Car Sales. Regardless of what happened to me it is evident he engages in a pattern of behaviour when the cars he sells have faults. As a side note, if the car didn’t have a fault at point of sale, it developed one due to the fact the garage Elliot uses (K2 Garages) didn’t do the full and proper checks on the car. If you read the reviews there are many that talk of faults, it’s K2 garage and Carl Coombs responsibility to carry out inspections.
