Anyone bought a car from Warrander???

I know this should be in dealers but this is important.

Just wondering how many people on here and bout a scooby or other car from warrender in Runcorn, Cheshire. As if you have i pray nothing goes wrong on it while it is in warranty

why???

Well they "fixed" my MY99 RA under warranty when the crank went and the warranty only covered 2k worth of repairs. Then 2 months later it went again. And this time was due to the warranty company they use building the engine wrong. Only this time my engine is scrap

i wouldnt like to quote my source, however i have been told that lately they are going downhill from someone very much in the know, locally, they also bullshyted me about buying a car, claimed they didnt even know its origin, sounded like a really dodgy salesperson

I know a guy in Nottm who had an RA earlier this year.. bought one from them.. keeps saying its 380bhp!!

had problems with it.. think its only running on one cylinder

had work done on warranty.. still not really sorted.

come to mention it.... its you Dave!

I always found them to be very expensive for their cars

the 22b they had in, im sure they have had that for sale for well over a year too

i bought my evo 5 from them slightly overpriced at £18k,and they agreed when i bought the car that when i wanted shut of the car they would buy it back,that was them trying to sell the car as when i was bored with the car i rang them (6 months of ownership) to ask how much they are gonna give me and they said sorry we dont buy cars,but you can p/x against something else from us.

also i was looking on there web site and when the lotus carlton advert appeared they advertised it as 577bhp so i rang them and told them its only 377bhp so they changed it.
they are only interested in getting money from customers and there aftersales isnt very good at all,wouldnt personally recommend them unless you want an overpriced car that is.

hey folks why not ask the man himself instead of having a go ?

the owner is also the owner of track action and if you go into the trackday forum he posts in there as track action.hes called simon.

ive bought a car from there recently and had no problems, ive been told the car industry is very bad and that you have to remember that dealers have large overheads.

so come on you muppets, instead of hiding behind your pc's like the halfwits you are use what little brain cells you have hey

friends of simons

I was havin a go about the warranty company they use not them.

Ah yes phill, you came on cruisenotts sayin that it was my fault that it blew up and you never heard of one blowin up before. Hmmm how many people on here have had problems with engines on here????

quote: "remember that dealers have large overheads"

what? in Barnton ? - ho ho ho - even more scabby than the old place in Bolton

nah - best advice don't believe anything any car salesman says

buy any scooby/evo/whatever and EXPECT to lose a bundle of money - then you won't be disappointed - Warrender no different to anywhere else in this respect.

I think it was the spelling that was wrong,I think Mr Magoo meant to write "dealers have large heads"

My mate bought a W reg skyline from there and from what I've seen of it and their service (went up there for parts he'd imported) they were brilliant, maybe it's a case of one person with the arse and the rest are good guys. ?

oh right if we are talking about auto warranty in runcorn they are ok but why make me travel 50 miles to get my front discs sorted out and they put a second hand set on the car which were worse than the ones i had on in the 1st place,hence a second trip of 50 miles to get the correct ones fitted.

Maybe for simple things. They "repaired" my engine after my crank went. Now 6 months later my car has no engine in as it is scrap. They didnt build the engine right. Before people start sayin pc warrior and all this stuff, i have a independant report syain that they rebuilt it wrong
