DO NOT buy a car from JID Trade Price Cars and Commercials. I have purchased vehicles from HONEST & DECENT dealers for many years. Benjamin Hargreaves gives the motor trade a bad name. His ad stated “We are a family business and have be trading for over 40 years”. He has in fact only been trading since 7 March 2013. See Companies House No. 08435550 The vehicle: I handed over £8,000 -my largest car purchase to date, and with a very low mileage for year, on the face of it seemed to be good deal. I was reassured that the car had been serviced. I drove the car for a couple of weeks before I found little or no engine oil. The water was also very low. Before my holiday I put the car in for a full service at a reputable garage. They rang me with devastating news - The cylinder was cracked and engine had a deep and dangerous gouge in it. I was told the vehicle needed a new engine costing £10,000. I did in fact manage to find a garage who put me a secondhand unit in for £3,000. The car failed the Mot very badly with break pipe corrosion but shockingly I had driven 3 thousand mile with a sheared-off stud on the front wish bone – I feel lucky to be alive.
