Buying a used car from a non authorised dealer- questions
Discussion
Hi All
I am currently looking for a car and have whittled my choice down to a used T Roc Life of MK 7.5 Golf TSi Evo.
I have a few queries on purchasing cars please
1. Is it possible to rely on a print out digital VW service history provided/ shown by an unauthorised dealer ?
2. if a car has low mileage because was a motability car or has been off the road (not taxed) for several months e.g 10 mths and kept outside , would you consider it? . I understand from Autoexpress that components can be damaged if cars are not used...
3. What warranty would you expect from an un authorised dealer? . i.e what would you look for it to specify and in what format? it seems some will offerup to a maximum of a year that under " their general warranty" and others say can buy a warranty from AA on top of their short warranty e.g 3 months
4. is it possible to obtain any information from motability on the cars that have been leased through the Scheme?
Sorry for the many questions!
Thanks

1) You can call VW to confirm the printout you've been shown is correct.I am currently looking for a car and have whittled my choice down to a used T Roc Life of MK 7.5 Golf TSi Evo.

2) Yes
3) The standard is 3 months
4) No, any questions you have should be about the car itself, which the dealer should be able to help you with.
