Purchased my 2009 Vauxhall Astra on 21-04-18. I paid a deposit over the phone as I was travelling from Ireland on the promise that the car was in 100% condition mechanically. I returned back with the car and had done less than 500 miles of normal driving over the space of 2 weeks when my engine suddenly overheated and blew the head gasket. The car is now not even turning over as the engine is seized. An obvious fault in the engine which was hidden on purchase. I did some further digging and found I was lied to about the MOT. It had infact failed the MOT on March 13th 2018 for a number of other unrelated issues. Now the engine has completely gone. I am attempting to make contact via email and telephone, so far I've been passed off on the phone. Sent two emails which have not been replied to and they have now blocked my phone number. I have lost thousands of pounds dealing with this trader. I cannot express enough how much you should avoid. Not even a response to my problem.

I want to warn people NOT TO USE THIS COMPANY I did and was horrified at the result .I purchased a 2009 Peugeot 207 cc from them .I was NOT given a test drive because the car was at the back of 8other cars BUT WAS ASSURED the car was perfect to drive and after all it had a warranty ,the bonnet was scratched all over but I was told they would be taken out .When I picked the car up they apologised that the scratches were still there BUT THEY WOULD BE DONE AT A LATER DATE ,driving the car home it started raining but the wipers and washers would not work ,and when I tried to alter the electrics wing mirrors they did not work ,I noticed the temp and petrol gauges did not work

I have had a pretty poor experience with Elland Cars. I bought a BMW from them in February and I have had numerous issues with it and have had to send it back. The dealers were not very helpful at all and they took ages to return the money to the finance company. I wouldn't recommend.
