Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!
The reason I chose White’s, is they had a real flash advert stating, they had a 3 month warranty for all vehicle’s purchased from Whites cars. This included parts and labour and VAT.. Can’t go wrong here. Haha, what a joke.
The Ad., albeit on ebay classified, stated:
3 Month Warranty (not honoured)
HPI Check (Report Supplied) (not supplied)
Full Valet
12 Months MOT (10 months)
Pre-delivery Inspection (kicked the tyres, more like)
After getting the vehicle home, I found
-The right hand side lights, front and rear were not working. (Fixed them myself immediately. Fuse)
-The brakes were in a dreadful state. New pads and discs required
-A/C didn’t work.
-Bad oil leak from the corroded sump.
-Windscreen washer tank, held about 2 cupful’s before overflowing.
To be fair, Lee White, at Whites car sales offered to take the car back for the price I paid, only. However I had a train fare and a tank of petrol paid, to the tune of £60.00. He refused to pay anything more than what I paid for the car. So much for customer service. The ad stated “No Return”. So I obeyed. Also I needed the car for work, as my previous car, quit at short notice. He then changed tack and offered to have the repairs carried out at place of his choosing. Really? Seeing the state of the car after just 2 days I wouldn’t have trusted them near it with a wooden tooth pick.

For a copy of Whites ebay ad and a full transcript of our written communication, can be forwarded to anyone interested. Mail me at: rikeskie yahoo com for all relevant documents. Bill of sale, invoices, transcript etc., etc.
The only reason I have given a one star is, I didn’t have the option of a no star.
Needless to say, not recommended. Make up your own minds. You have been warned.
