Post by: tompoole on June 07, 2012, 03:57:22 pm
as most on here know , ive spent 6 months looking for a replacement van for my ageing 110..... i finally decided to buy a dispatch 2009 1.6hdi 37k miles, great i thought ........ well i picked it up thurs last week, had to take it back fri coz radio didnt work, then picked up fri afternoon , it started to rain so needed the blowers on the windscreen, guess what the bloody heater dont work grrrrrrr i went to a dealer paid over the odds to avoid this type of hasstle!!!!! so in the first 3 days its been back to the dealer twice.
thats it folks , needed to sound off.  115point check , my arse , sportif citroen !!!!!!

I would keep a detailed record of all the things that have gone wrong just in case it carries on and you have been sold a lemon. I brought one once and wish I had kept a record as the dealer denigned all knowledge that the car had been in 20 times and that really peed me off. If you get him to sign that the work has been done ever time or get a print out of the work carried out there is no where for him to hide.

A bit extreme but its only from experience I am telling u

I think you'll be ok if that mileage is genuine. However, I'd be a tad suspicious of 39k on a 3 year old van.

My mate's a taxi driver, you should see what they do & how easy & readily available it is to "clock" any car or van! :o
