Review: I bought a car from AA Cars of Boston, Lincolnshire for £1000. Just seven weeks later, on the 23rd December, as I was driving with my wife and five year old son to see his grandparents for Christmas, the car broke down irreparably. The connecting rod had snapped and destroyed the engine. It was nearly midnight and we were on a deserted road in France. Slowly the car lights dimmed and died as the battery ran out. We sat there in darkness for several hours until the breakdown service arrived.
It cost me a small fortune to get the car towed from the road to the nearest town, to stay in a hotel for the night, to get the car towed back to the UK, to get the Eurostar back from France etc etc as the costs mounted.
I contacted AA cars whose solicitor wrote to me clearly stating that they were not interested and it was my tough luck that the car broke down.
I have been forced to start a small claims action in the Watford County Court – the hearing is on August 22nd.
They are prone to trading in an unlawful way as on the invoice the assistant wrote "Sold as Seen". This is unlawful and following my complaint, Lincolnshire Trading Standards Department have given them a warning about this.
BEWARE – DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM AA CARS OF BOSTON, LINCOLNSHIRE.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
