After a stressful day scouring used car dealers througout Yorkshire and Manchester I finally found a car I wanted, and slapped a £250 deposit on it.
But now Im beginning to have the jitters that I have night an over valued car.
The car is an 06 (May) 2.2 iCTDi. Black with 93k at £6300.
The dealer assures me that the car has Auto sensing Lights and wipers, but I'm now beginning to have doubts. From want I have now read - 1 day to late - the spec for the Sport model is basic SE plus Xenon lights and 17" alloys. I'm not sure about the lights so Can someone confirm that the Sport had Xenon lights. And does it have the Auto Sense lights and wipers?

Sport does have Xenons and 17s. It sometimes had foglights, sometimes didn't.

I'm pretty sure only the ES and EX models have auto lights and wipers though. Easy to tell - there's AUTO text on each stalk, between sidelights and dip beam on the left one, and between off and intermittent on the right one. There'll also be a small dome at the bottom centre inside the screen (light sensor for the lights) and the rain sensor is at the top of the screen.

Worst Dealer I have ever come across - Were taking the car back today to get a full refund under Sales of Goods Act!

Advertised as FullService History - But he can't supply it.
Advertised as Full PDI Service with Oil and Filter change prior to collection - Oil and Filter were NOT changed. Took the car back 2 days later to get the Oil anf Filter changed, on the way there the 'Check Engine' warning light appeared on display. Left the car at the dealers for 2 days as no one answered the phone for us to arrange colection.
'Check Engine' warning light appeared on display 1 day later. Took it to Honda dealer, they plugged it into Diags and it needed a new ETC sensor - £161.00 fitted, they also checked the car and told me that the Oil and Filter had NOT been changed.

Wish me luck !
