Are People Really Doing This

These adds on TV, car buying on line, view the car, pay for it, and it will be delivered. Return it within 7 days if your not happy. I'd loved to see the terms and conditions attached to the return option. At a guess you would be hit with made up damage reports, surly people are not this daft to buy a car in this way??

I wouldn't on a second hand car but a new one wouldn't bother me.

For many its just a vehicle, if it runs then all is fine.

is it only the surly people who aren't that daft, or is it the nice people too?

You can read the terms and conditions on their websites - they have very limited mileage and hefty charges if you exceed them. Of course you have to tax and insure the car.
I'd buy a new car in that way - when you go to a showroom and order a new car you haven't seen the car you're going to get.
Some of them give you 14 days to return the car.
I don't see a problem with it.

you'd have to be radio to do that.

mind you, you have to be even crazier to buy a new jam jar!

I did just that..........best car that I ever had and non problems.
Mate of mine would "faff around", trying cars, comparing prices,for months before deciding, trying and buying.
He always had trouble with his cars lol.

Barry you see it in the showroom before you accept/ drive away in it. So the ball is in your court until you accept it there and then.

Mrs sqad has just reminded me that I bought hers on the Internet without trying it out.

I bet you would have a job getting them to be so nice to pick it up in 2/3 weeks time when it goes tits up. lol

its okay if you are buying a car that is new or less than 3 years old, they are doing a click an collect on some used cars that are 10/11/12 years old on Autotrader and having gone to view one I am glad I didn't click and collect, they had actually altered the pictures to make the car look pristine, on seeing it in real life it had lots of dents and problems.
