Paul D

Sold me a faulty car

I bought a VW Scirocco from Lonsdale motors and within three weeks (750 miles) it was off the road with the diagnosis that it needed a new engine. The owner Paul didn't want to know when I requested a refund and he offered no courtesy car or support. In the end I went through my credit card provider to claim back my cash. Had an elite inspector come and do a full diagnostic on the car where he confirmed the damage was done previous to me receiving it and that it had been neglected on oil levels resulting in piston scoring. The car was his daughters for the previous two years so he clearly knew there was an issue with the car and wanted to 'move it on' via his business. Buy with caution as if the car has any issues you will receive no support from Paul the owner.
