i have recently purchased peugeot 206 hdi from a dealer for £4625 , the car was advertised as clean , ie not recorded, the dealer sent the log book off , 6 weeks later i was contacted bt the dvla stating that the car was accident damaged and they would not issue me with a logbook , until a VIC was obtained.Did a HIP check and found the car was a cat B insurance write off should not be on the road , either the chassis or shell should have been scrapped , and the vehicle used for parts only. Have contacted dealer numerous times, has offered me first £2000 and now £3400 to buy the car back or take him to court and in his words be tied up for months ! i have researched the company online and this seems to be a common occurrance for them. Have contacted trading standards and police , not much joy there.
So will have to take them to small claims court , although it is a ltd company and they have a habit of dissolving companies and starting up new ones.
Should i just take the money offered or is there anything else to do! Help!!
