Shelbourne Motors sold me a car with the wrong miles with a discrepancy of 21,000 miles. They sold me a car stating there was 8,000 miles on it.
The odometer was changed after 21,000 miles by a nissan dealer and was recorded in the log book, They didn't do a check and I noticed it after only 2 days.
During the handover I enquired about servicing and the salesman took out the book and noticed the first service was carried out after 17,500 miles and scribbled out the 7 to make it 1,500 miles.
The servicing was also not completed as the car needed a wiper blade and during the test drive I commented that the brakes were squealing and was told this would be fixed. They were still squealing.
I was told they would rectify this and replace the car but after nearly 2 weeks the only car they offered had 38,000 miles on it. Minimal contact was made after I informed them about the discrepency unless I initiated it.
When I went for a refund they took me into a side office and tried to convince me that keeping the car was in my best interest. I refused and they said the money would be in my account.
I caught a train to belfast as they had left me with no car and no way to get to work, I was going to purchase a car from another dealer as I had no time to shop around, I sat most of the day waiting for my refund it was only when I phoned looking proof did the money finally show up in my account.
THIS IS A BAD COMPANY THEY HAVE EVEN CLAIMED THAT THEY DID A ROUTINE CHECK AFTER SELLING ME THE CAR AND INFORMED ME ABOUT THE MILEAGE. I HAVE E-MAILS TO PROVE THIS IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. I WISH I HAD NEVER STEPPED THROUGH THEIR DOORS AND SAVED MYSELF THE STRESS read more
