BOUGHT DODGY CAR £13,000

Bought a car last Jan, Audi category N. Told me it was minor damage. Got AA to do an inspection, said few things wrong but an ok car. He sorted the things wrong and i bought the car. A couple of months later the car failed, dashboard lit up like blackpool illuminations. Down to a faulty ABS sensor that had been repaired on the side of the category N side. £365 to be repaired. Took to a friend to change a tyre and he said ur wheels arent straight you need to get this looked at. Took to a specialist and to VW for a 2nd opinion. Said work to hopefully (but not definitely get this sorted was £1,200). Possible twisted chassis and damage to sub frame. Got in touch with manor motors who said it was fine when he sold it to me. Told me the AA inspection said it was ok. The AA inspection was clearly not done properly and i thought by paying the AA that this would assure me a decent car. I couldnt have been more wrong. Asked Adam at Manor motors to pay for the repairs to the car but he said no. Ive today been in touch with citizens advice and will persue this until the end. DONT TOUCH THIS DEALERSHIP WITH A BARGE POLE BECAUSE IVE JUST SEEN SOME AWFUL REVIEWS ON HERE AND WISHED I HAD SEEN THEM BEFORE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR. He understated the damage to the car and said it was minor and from VW point of view the experts say this is major damage. Told me this was his family car and that he had sold it to his sister and she had had it for ages
