Don't bother

Bought my first car off Higginshaw Motors in March. The ad did not state that the front was damaged, including dents and cracks on the bumper, and quite extensive dents on the bonnet (as if someone jumped on it). The pictures did not show it either. I mentioned it to the salesperson, and they said "they forgot to add that into the ad". I said I won't buy the car unless it was fixed. In fairness to them, they replaced only the bumper, and knocked down the price by £100. However, the part was not an original, and on my way out of the dealership, a chunk of plastic fell off and after the first car wash, the paint just peeled off. The car was silver, and I ended up with a black bumper. Did not go through the hassle of reporting it because I just needed to drive, and it was only paint. At least it wasn't cracked. But it was the principle. Further on, I went to get an aircon recharge, and two places told me that the aircon was completely broken, with it leaking. The compressor needed to be replaced at a cost of £400. This was not mentioned by the dealership. "Surprisingly", their warranty did not cover this either... Also, I think whoever tests their cars for MOT is a friend of theirs because the car would not have passed, considering I ended up having to have the front two tyres replaced as they were BARE. Way below the limit, and the MOT was only done a few weeks beforehand, with little to no miles done between the MOT and when I bought it. So would not trust the validity of the MOT of any of their cars. Tried to contact them, but with no success. Been blocked. Their website has been taken down and cannot locate them on autotrader anymore. Just don't bother buying cars from them. There is many reviews online opposing them. Will also be reporting Higgingshaw Motors.
