Why can't motor dealers check the cars before selling them? My son purchased a car from the Vauxhall dealership in East Kilbride, Glasgow. In the 3 weeks he's owned it, it has been sitting in another Arnold Clark dealership in Paisley for over a week and a half with no sign of him getting it back anytime soon. Awaiting parts apparently. Obvious fault with the gear box, don't need to be a mechanic to know that. Due to his age he can't get insurance for a courtesy/hired car. His second car purchase through AC and both have been bad experiences although this time way worse than the first.
