We are in the market for a new (well, new to us) motor. Decided on an Astra, again.
Anyway, We have a budget and an idea on age and mileage. But we were thrown a curveball today.
Stumbled across a 1.6 Elite but it is a bit older than what we were after. it is a 2015 (but a 64 plate) but only has 11,000 miles on the clock. Ex mobility so full Vauxhall service history.
It is in a bit of a state at the moment. Dings around the drivers door frame (possibly off sticks / crutches) but the garage assures up they'll have been addressed before we pick it up. Likewise a scratch on the 'chrome' trim around the back window (scratch follows through into the glass). I'm a bit dubious as I suspect they'll have to fork out a fair bit to fix everything.
Also, it is covered in white dust, like they've raced home from the Crematorium with the windows down and no lid on the urn! Guy said it is polish as it has probably been sitting in a Mobility garage while cars around it have been getting machine polished.
Am I right to be sceptical about the repairs? And does that sound right about the dust? |
