MILKY, i am sorry but wtf, for real!?
That's gut wrenching to imagine let alone happen, however recently I was forced to come off my new motorcycle due to fault with fuel ling which has deteriorated for months now and things shall we say could of been a hell of a lot worse!
At times I was in life or death situations on busy roads at speed, whilst having to roll and restart.
Luckily this acc was at low speed with no other road users around at that point, otherwise ...?
Now it is upto myself to prove the fault as dealer cba to find fault and no doubt will protest rider error even though there is a re call for many of them 1-2 days post my accident.
Insurance want £500 or so more for excess ontop of £175 current policy excess due to it being mechanical fault go figure???
The dealer wants £xxxx amount to put cosmetic and bits and bobs right but not find the fault!!!
I have been through life changing events but this tops it as I can't stop thinking what if as it very nearly was o
Daily for months prior to this off.
My main point being, never ever buy a new vehicle for various reasons they are not known as stealers for no good reason ya know.
Build quality and parts that are fit for purpose are usually nowadays uncommon in new cars/motorcycles vans etc and is a disgrace when a ok ca costs around £2k to produce ffs then t be sold at £14k or so.
The only reassurance you have when definitely buying new is it has not been involved in a collision etc.
There's a whole heap more I could say but this is the web after all and am convinced your all govt robots collecting info to use against the select few who are capable of kinetic movement.
I swear I go twisted the more I come in here, must be an stw thang ;d
If there is 1 thing folk is that do all the relevant safety checks on history and current condition especially if you have a family.
That is all!

I know how to buy, therefore don't care how good/bad the sales folk are - there's always another garage selling exactly the same car somewhere else.

Eh, why didn't you just fix it - or get it fixed elsewhere and send them the bill?
