VERY good advice, and to be honest I probably wouldn't have thought to do so had you not mentioned it. So thanks for that! Took some very thorough walkround videos and stills before I set off. I live opposite a farm that has a lot of tractors and HGVs coming and going throughout the day, the verges of the lane get driven on constantly and the lane is very dusty especially when it's dry, consequently anything on our driveway get COVERED in a light brown dust. Then any dampness or dew the next morning and it sticks to the bodywork making everything look really filthy and generally un-cared for but it's only light surface dust and not in-ground grime and grit. Nevertheless to be fair the bike looked a right state when I loaded it onto the trailer. I thought the last thing I need is for the trader to be passing some comment when I dropped it off is like "look at the state of it, is this how you keep your bikes?". I needed to get my taxi cleaned in and out anyway so dropped by the hand car wash on the way and they sprayed it down while it was on the trailer for me.
I think first impressions say a lot. A bit like if you go to buy a bike that's filthy you're instantly going to get the impression it's not been cared for. Likewise, try to return a bike to a trader for a full refund covered in mud and they're going to assume or try to portray that you've abused it. Same goes for presenting your bike for a part-ex valuation. Always helps turning up with a clean bike.
Anyway dropped the bike off with the keys the folder with the spare keys in and the user manual and service book and all the history etc. They tried to push the bits and bobs back on me saying "we won't need that".
I'm thinking... "I think you will!".
"No, no, no, we won't need that take it back with you, we'll repair it".
I'm thinking "we've had this conversation three times now and you're still trying to bury your head in the sand and refusing to address my request for a full refund". They haven't outright refused so far. Just refusing to commit to anything and keep banging on about repairing it. Standard tactics for a trader I assume.
I politely made it clear that I'm expecting a refund and finished with "if I have to come back at some point to collect the bike anyway it won't hurt to leave the stuff with you in the meantime, will it.".
I wasn't kicking off but there were other customers in the showroom and I think they wanted me gone so agreed to take the bumph that the bike came with off me and I was on my way. |
Any progress from here?

Back in my day* all the telephone conversations and even in-person exchanges didn't count for shit to a court. They wanted invoices, statements and formal letters - hardcopy. The wheels of justice grind slow so I just wondered how emails were looked upon given they've supplanted fax machines for instantaneous business communications.
Fax machines... that takes me back
*...a belt? Pah! We were so poor I never saw a belt till I was 35, we only had string. String?! You were lucky... etc. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

They're totally bluffing. What misuse can they prove in 10 days? And how can they prove that it was down to you?
The bottom line is that they can't.
I don't know if you're in Scotland but in England the onus is on the dealer to prove that the fault didn't exist at the point of sale (within 6 months).
So even if they prove that the engine is severely worn/damaged all that they've proved is that they sold you a worn/damaged engine.
I very much doubt that they can win. But whether you can get anything out of them is another matter entirely. ____________________ Suzuki Bandit 1250
