Help Me Crush My Range Rover

<< < (2/21) > >>

Budgie:
Also, if the hassle is with the dealership and finance company, why "send a message to Land Rover"?

What are the faults with the vehicle? [Edit: I see you answered that while I was typing.  :wink: ]
Has the dealership actually sorted the faults?
If not then have you spoken to Land Rover Customer Service about it?

One last thought, if the vehicle is on finance then surly you are the "Keeper" not the legal "Owner" of the vehicle and therefore have no right to crush it?

Hamster:
Dealer with Land Rover, Dealer and Finace Company. At the end of the day Land Rover built it. There exect words (and I have this in writing) is 'Land Rover does not take vehicles back'!

The vehicle is finance, but through minimal sponsorship, and I will chip in what I was going to spend in legals I can pay out and crush it - and broadcast it! Then I will place a banner on it saying something like 'I wish I brought a Lexus' and tow it round and leave out the front of Land Rover Dealers. A bit extreme, but after spending £65K and not getting any meaningful support I am fed up.

THRASHER !!

You bought the car 2nd hand.......

Why would LANDROVER buy back a 2nd hand car, your contract is with the seller, not the manufacturer and this is even more the case with a 2nd hand vehicle, it wouldn't even go to court, you could try the Finance Co... but TBH you'll just end up with adverse against you...

From a dealers point of view your issues are minor... yeah yeah I know that to you they're not.... but to them they are.

I am in the trade and have had issues with customers just like you.... the only way you'll "win" is if the dealer buckles, if they stand yjeir ground you'll be fighting this for ages!

Again, fyi your fight is with your dealer not Landrover, even buying a new car your contract is still with your franchisee not them, buying 2nd had distances you further.

Bet you a tenna it was already a "Buy Back" your one hope is that it was, and that it was sold new and bought back buy the dealer you bought it off, by contacting owner 1 you could persue your claim along the lines of the fact they sold it in full knowledge that it was a lemon... but its a long shot!

Cheers Fudge,

I know this and am currently in legal with Lombard - they are subsequently engaging the dealer - it is a mess and has been going for 5 months - that is why I am at this stage now!

Just FYI - I have written correspondence from Land Rover - initially saying the issue was with the Dealer, then a second letter refusing my claim and offering me two free services. Strange when they have no obligation?

At the end of the day 5 months ago the dealer could have said - Lets help you out of this car - it obviously is not good, and even sold it on consignment and taken no commission. We would have all been happy.

Last Year Jeremly Clarkeson had an issue with his GT40 - made a phone call to ford and the next day he had £129K in the bank and a man came and took his car away. I am hoping that through media pressure the same will happen.

So far I have £5K pledged to get car crushed, from over 50 people. So hey, maybe as a collective we (myself and other sponsors) can send a message strong message of 'this is not how you treat customers' and get some publicity damage for Westover, Land Rover and Lombard.

This is the worst customer relations I have ever experienced and every single party declines responsibility. Westover also appear to have declined an 'independent assessor' to test the vehicle for 1000 miles driving to assess if it was fit for purpose (of which I would pay a third). I am awaiting confirmation from my solicitors.
