It’d be good if you could get your money back but look on the upside, the price you paid was well below market value (I know it’s CAT C’) so that does leave you with a few £k to put the faults right - I’d imagine you’ll still come out on top (just) maybe?

 

As they say, buyer beware, especially in the murky shark infested waters of used car dealers and never forget, words and promises are cheap when the money is in your pocket - things always change dramatically once the wedge has been handed over, even at main dealers.

 

As I said in a post above, good luck with this dilemma.

Caveat Emptor.

 

You are experiencing exactly what I would expect, exactly what I have encountered and resolved when driving my own repaired vehicles, its a price I am willing to pay for having a bargain vehicle.

 

I have no idea about the value of Superbs but €12K for a 7 year old Cat C repair vehicle sounds a lot of money, I read that they are worth 40% less than a straight  vehicle, no idea if that is true as I don't buy them to sell on, my Yeti of the same age cost £3200 2 years ago with moderate mileage and cost £800 to repair, at the time its value on WBAC as a straight vehicle was not much more than it had cost me in total but compared to prices in France it was a bargain.

 

I know second hand values have risen since the confinement but £12K sounds an awfull lot for a vehicle declared as a Cat C rebuild.
