hi i have purchased a range rover from ebay, from what i believed to be a reputable 4x4 specialist when i checked the name detailed, an orginisation that prided itself on being a family run buisness specialising in 4x4 vehicles, the name of the specialist was detailed as the seller.

It appears as though this was not the dealer ebay site just one of its employees whom can be contacted through the dealer and has set up the ebay site to sell on some stock for them, negating there responsibilities, when i arrived to pick up the car from the showroom i was directed to there garage as the car was being made ready, upon initial inspection there were a few minor descrepancies and the mechanic reduced the price to compansate and asked me to follow him back to the showroom in the car giving me the opputunity to test drive it,

The car drove ok and upon arrival at the showroom, handed over cash for the car which i recieved a hand written reciept by the mechanic(should have realised at this point but was exited to get my new purchase back home). initialy the car drove well but after about 20 miles decided to split the radiator hose, luckily almost next to a garage so pulled in and got them to look at the vehicle.

Alarm bells started to ring and upon further checking over the next few days found out that the mileage stated of 140k when checked against the mot database was two years previously 185k and further more when i checked documentation supplied the promised years mot supplied in the advert was not present.

Not sure where to turn there promises of sorting this have now faded along with the ability to contact the person detailed as the point of contact. please help
