Beware !

Beware ! Last month we went here to look at Land Rovers at Pentland -Whins of Milton and they suggested we could trade in our BMW ( previously owned by an elderly relative from new with only 27K in mileage ) Their in house mechanic looked at it for 30mins and advises they’d take it off our hands for £2000 less than we were quoted by WeBuyAnyCar. Com with a condition that when they investigated our car further they may need to drop their offer price if there were issues and it would cost us more to buy their vehicle. We were advised that he found a “rumbling noise “ when starting the engine that it should not be there and it could be a major issue and potentially unsafe but they’d still would take it off our hands probably for a lower price. We said we will get BMW to investigate however he said we shouldn’t take for a service at BMW as it would cost too much money and he knew as he previously worked for BMW. After leaving we got a full service by BMW and have been told since the car is in perfect health , perfect condition and no safety issues whatsoever. We had never heard this “rumbling “noise before or since being at Pentland Motors that day. I have no idea what was going on or what was done to my car except I am very suspicious that we were about to get fleeced and taken advantage of. To leave a car dealership thinking my car which I use for my child was some sort of death trap with major issues is out of order. Please think twice about dealing with these people.
