My son bought a BMW 1 Series this week from a private seller for £2500. He has had it five days and only driven it 25 miles. Yesterday, it failed to start. It would turn over but not fire up. When we got it looked at, the boot where the battery is located was soaking wet - hence causing electrical shorts. I feel this car was sold in an unroadworthy condition as the buyer had replaced the battery three days prior and had the car valeted when we picked it up (by the looks of it, to disguise the wetness in the boot carpet). My son may now be needing to spend a lot to get this sorted. What are your thoughts? In her sales description, she had put great condition - but also put sold as seen on her receipt. Thanks.
