Ok, the deal with this lot is plenty of cars which they have fished out of, amongst others, auctions. Many of those cars are main dealer trade in vehicles which the main dealer does not want to sell on their forecourt for whatever reason. So they send them off to auction. Nothing wrong with that, that’s how the used car business has carried on for years. The problems start when the purchaser I.e the garage who wants to sell the car on buys in rubbish. Many trade in cars have issues and that’s why they are traded in. IF the purchasing garage carries out a decent PDI check and ensures the vehicles are fit for sale, then all good. This is where Carscene Norwich fails royally! Our experience involved a car with a severe judder under braking due to warped discs, a buckled alloy wheel, a gearbox which sporadically wouldn’t engage second gear, thus allowing you to pull out into a busy road only to find you couldn’t get second gear, electrical issues with the anti theft system, defective heater plug, incorrect power steering fluid on the car coupled with heavy steering. The so called owner of the place accused us of fabricating issues in order to reject it tried to hide behind “it’s a second hand car” excuses. In my opinion, Carscene Norwich is a poor example of a motor trader who either intentionally or recklessly cannot be bothered to stand by their cars. Be especially aware of the independent warranty they give. This has so many get outs and weasel words that the warranty is basically worthless. It does not cover wear and tear so go figure how that could be useful on a second hand car. Carscene Norwich set the standards low and then fail to meet them. My advice would be avoid this place like the plague at all costs.
