Alfa Romeo Forum - View Single Post - Dealer said ex Alfa car, V5 says ex Hertz !!!

The South Moroccan · 12-05-2008

Bought a 159 2.4 JTD from an official Alfa dealer a couple of weeks ago, registered Oct 06, 13k miles one previous owner. When questioning the history of the car the dealer said it was an ex Alfa car. I specifically questioned about whether it was ex demo or one of their managers but he admitted he did not know.

Got the V5 through in the post today and to my ashtonishment it turns out it was a ex Herts car. To be honest I would never have bought an ex hire car and I'm gob smacked that an official dealer would make such a mistake or indeed lie or mis sell.

So what should I do now. I am worried that this will effect the resale value and I don't like the idea that it may have been shagged by any number of users.

Advise / opinions saught. My gut feels is that I want my money back, so whats the best way to go about it.
