Unlucky

Bought a 12 year old Ford Ka for my daughters. Car was clean and tidy when bought and we did a basic visual inspection of the car. The rear view mirror was missing and the garage owner told us we could buy some sticky pads from Halfords and he would stick it on for us when we came to collect the car (not really what I would expect as a customer, but there you go...) Car was sold with 6 months remaining on the MOT. However, we had to scrap the car after 4 months ownership due to a £1300 repair bill consisting of master cylinder and chassis welding work. Our local garage (who we have used for over 15 years) told us the car was a rust bucket and were amazed that it had managed to get through the previous MOT. Unfortunately the dealer asked us to pay in cash when we collected the car as their card machine had (suspiciously) broken. Would not recommend the garage at all.
