I've been screwed at a car auction, what would you do?
15th February 2011
I bought a 2 year old diesel auto estate car at an auction which at first turned out to be a real bargain, £5000 cheaper than the book price. In my rush though to buy the car, I failed to notice that the car had on its ticket that it was sold as seen and that it was an insurance total loss. I know I am an idiot, believe me I dont need reminding, I parted with £3400 for it.
The problems so far is that the auto gear box needs replacing at a cost (for a reconditioned one!) of £2300 including tax and the mechanic that looked at it told me it wasnt worth fixing the gear box.
I tried to put it back in the auction but no one bidded for it. I am thinking of putting it into a different auction but I would feel sorry for the next sucker that buys it, and an insurance job wouldnt pay out the money I’ve paid for it I was told reliably. I am so gutted, but there must be a way I can recover at least a bit of my money back somehow. I can’t take it back to the auction, I bought it sold as seen.
My mechanic told me that repairing/replacing the gear box would be a total waste of time and money. It goes forward ok, but doesn’t go backward at all. It’s due its first MOT in May, and it would never pass it.
