Complete scammers dodgy dealers

Avoid Harlequin Motor Company! Was sold a vehicle in August 'with warranty' but have had to spend £2k on it and all items conveniently are not covered by any warranty. Dealer confirmed the car has extensive service history anf was owned by a 'friend' but when I arrived they could not produce paperwork and had handwritten some history into the book - strange. They had their story in check and seemed to be a reputable dealer based on online reviews so I did not make a big issue of it. Oh how wrong i was. Vehicle has broken down a few times now including a fuel pump issue, snapped belt and also had the gearbox fail on the car completely. Dealer initially accepted my calls when I raised an issue but has since washed their hands with me. I have had to do the following: Tracking/wheel alignment, camber/toe alternator belt and tensioner 6xcoil pack and spark plugs rocker cover gasket sump gasket 2 x engine mounts gearbox bushes gearbox connector sleeve, sump, seals replacement after the gearbox completely failed to select any gears and had to be towed away. The issues with the vehiclr are still ongoing. I am now £2,000 down since I purchased the car 2/3months ago.
