Hi all,
I've recently purchased a trailer from a local trailer dealership.
It was a 1997 505.
I was told it had been checked over in the workshop and all was ok.
So I bought it at £1850.
Today I got a local NTTA qualified mechanic out to check it off and I was towing a death trap! It should have never been on the road!!
The front damper was completely gone and needed replacing, all bump stops were missing, two of the front wheel including the spare the rim is corroded, a front panel is loose and the ramp is soft in the corners!
I paid £469 for most the work but the ramp, panel and wheels I haven't done.
I have contacted where I bought it off and they had such an attitude!
I've informed them I'm going to get trading standards involved!
Is it wrong for me to ask for them to pay for the repairs and also to replace the ramp, panel and wheels??
I feel like I have been mugged off and also ripped off by this company.
Any help be great!!
I bought the trailer 2 weeks ago and it's not moved since I bought it.
I know it's an old trailer and the odd mark and rust don't bother me but the fact my horse could have gone in it scares me!
