Unhappy with purchase...

I will write my review based on the car I bought from Oakwell cars at Mansfield not on the people who sold it to me. This way any future 'car buyers' can decide for themselves if it is safe to buy a vehicle or if the risk is too great. Below is the history of my car in its first month :- Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 vtx (2007). 1. Rear wiper not working (booked in to get repaired). 2. Rear washer not working (booked in to get repaired). 3. Side light light out, first night. (Replaced bulb). 4. Number plate light bulb not working. Found to be out, black and corroded (not worked for quite a while on MOT ?). 5. Glove compartment light out (bulb not working and wasn't even connected at back). 6. Engine warning light came on but went off after an hour?. 7. About an inch of water in rear passenger storage leaving wires under water. Dangerous as my small son sits in that area. Found door membrane damaged along with door speaker. I repaired and fitted new speakers. 8. Wondered why rear wiper wasn't clearing window. No rubber what so ever on blade. Replaced. 9. Rear window high brake light not working (no connections visible so will be taking it into garage for checks. Warranty for car down as 28 days so !!!. 10. Having had over 17 cars in the last 38 years I would have expected the car to have been collected serviced, cleaned etc etc but it felt like the company had just received the car and sent it out ( to me ) unchecked. 11. Please read information as well. I didn't notice till much later that the car in fact did not have rear sensors as described. Overall, its been problem after problem with this car so my advice is "there are thousands of car sales out there.....use them".
