ts itself within a month, you can simply reject it. After that they have a duty for any repairs that wouldn't fall under wear and tear. Check out the consumers right act. All I'm getting at is, if its a in house warranty then I for sure wouldn't be buying that car.
I hope I'm wrong but I bet I'm not, they are not telling you the full story.
I assume they've had it for sale since June so I just don't get why they haven't turned it around in a day. I sure as hell would've.
Potentially been sat since June too.
Not trying to put you off but I hate dealers like this.

The passenger side mirror doesn't fold in when you lock the car, like the drivers' side does. The glass of the mirror can be adjusted (so in reality it's absolutely fine as a mirror) but the automatic folding doesn't work. I am not sure whether it's a small electrical glitch, or whether the motor has packed up or what. I suspect (hope) this is what's causing the delay. It's not a deal breaker in reality but if I can get it sorted then why not. I will message him first thing tomorrow morning asking whether it'd be ready for collection Saturday morning or even potentially tomorrow night if he doesn't mind.
I've got this at the moment with my non barge Peugeot. Dealer claimed an internal motor, requires the whole unit replaced- £300ish for genuine part! Have bought OEM off of the internet for £90 and having a go at the weekend. Much needed feature for London parking!rich12 said:

edit - just found this....
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-4th-gen-2007-2...
Looks like it could be an expensive fix.....it will be interesting to see what they say. Admittedly $1000 was a dealer, so that would be around, what, £775 at a dealer here....so perhaps £400 by a local?
Also found another forum where someone had the exact same thing and it was sorted by opening both mirrors out, then folding them in, and pushing the one that hasn't folded back into the folded position, and then it worked....just a bit of a thing if the mirror gets a small hit.

What makes you say June? They have had it since early October. It came to them via the local Lexus dealer, as it was traded in for a newer model, but the dealer didn't want it in their network (as confirmed when I contacted Lexus to discuss the early life service history).
No tax since June and no mot since August. Section 75 provides a degree of cover is things go tits up

Well the Lexus dealer said to me they offloaded it last month (so they must have had it for a while, I assume). I therefore have no reason to assume the dealer is telling porkies on that side of things. Not that he has much to gain for lying anyway....

Best of luck. Anyway, I should like to hear SOMETHING by around 10-1030 tomorrow.
Peugeot 605 3.0SV, at £4k it's one for several other threads, and despite that, I love it. Even in crap white.

I'll give the car another drive but it felt very good on the first test I did.
Fortunately, this week has been very (very!) busy at work so I should hit my bonus which will be nice.
RE him not being the best communicator, that shouldn't detract from the fact it seems to be a good car (mirror aside). I shouldn't need to contact him after a sale if all is well anyway. But yes, it's not exactly great customer service is it. I do not think the delay in an MOT is because of a failure, it is not even showing on the .gov website as having even been put through an MOT today, whether it pass or fail.....and most places I know do the test, then fix failures and give it a pass. So I just think it hasn't even had a test, which is very irritating when it was initially "Tuesday or Wednesday"....
It’s very common for trader’s MOTs to be aborted if a reason for failure is discovered, to avoid the record appearing in the history. The car is repaired, freshly tested and issued with a first time pass.Fortunately, this week has been very (very!) busy at work so I should hit my bonus which will be nice.

As far as your rights are concerned when buying from a dealer, even beyond the rejection period, you have far better legal protection than the usual Mickey Mouse warranties offer. Essentially anything which goes wrong beyond normal wear and tear within six months, is presumed to have been defective at the time of sale, hence not of merchantable quality, and the dealer’s problem; one of the reasons for the enormous trade - retail price difference of barges.

Been for sale a while I think. A white manual in low-spec probably doesn't help, but I do love it.http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2019...

Now that's a car to almost tempt me out of my JDM thug barge. Love Peugeot's from the Mid 80's to Early 90's, especially if they end "05" http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2019...

....but do now need to sell it....
Any more details?
headline points are 2006 LS460 SE-L (LWB) 135,000 miles, comprehensive history, mica grey with black leather, big wheels, ALL the spec. Paint has a few marks. I'd like around £5k for it.

I dont think I am allowed to post a link to my own car but it is now live on eBay with all details - it is a bit light on photos but it is due to be valeted, brimmed with fuel and photographed over the weekend so I will update the eBay listing then, hopefully on Sunday. If anyone wants to share the ad here, please feel free!
This one sounds just like yours and local.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-Lexus-LS460-SE-L-f...
For other threadists I have bought a car from Nick in the best thread tradition of one way train ticket and an itchy bank account, it was perfectly as described and he gave me a lift from the station!

This one by any chance? Looks tasty and well priced, I'm practically in Bournemouth too! Sadly I have no money for barges at the moment
