[scooby doo]

UPDATE. 12/01
Spoke to trading standards, they have said about sending them letter to the dealer to start the ball rolling legally.

I rang the dealer as thought to see if we can sort this easy and painless,
He was fairly rude, stating been trading 30yrs no issues, i'm hpi and tranded standards registered, I've got nothing to hide, I tried to slow him down at this point and say so she is to blame, and in the wrong??
response was no, this car has slipped threw our net, so I said that's her fault then?
he snapped il buy the car back. I said the figure is £2500, that's a loss of £500 in 9months.
I was laughed at and responded try renting a car for that long at £500,
i've said what has that anything to do with it, its your mistake not hers, and you should put it right, was greeted with a mutter of £2000 or less once I work my figures. I ve said no sorry £2500 min. that's fair to right your wrong,
To which I got was see you in a year in court then. where the judge will see ive got no priors and clean 30yrs trading. no issues
left it on he's going to confirm tomo a figure to buying the car back but was told it will not be near £2500

whats annoying is, say one of you guys bought your Scoob from a dealer saved up and bought it for 5k to find 9months later that is been smashed and and now worth £2800 (40%less) id be gutted,
and that's what this lass did, saved up, caught train for ages to buy this model 06 car with 32k from a dealer as wanted warranty and piece of mind. now new role forces her to drive so needs a diesel. then finds out her cars worth half what she paid for it, couldn't even trade it in unless wanted 1k for it.
