Just like to say hi to all u fiat lovers :D and like to say i bought a fiat stilo and i love stilos cos they are really nice cars. i had a fiat punto but i wanted somthing different so i thot i would carry on my fiat love so i went for the stilo. Got a long story for you.

So i went to my local arnold clark dealer which fiat kirkcaldy. i went in and asked if they had a particular stilo but no i had to wait a couple of weeks to find the right one. i found one which was at falkirk. they sed they wud bring it to kirkcaldy. they sorted all the documents etc. there was a few questions i asked before it like why has it only done 3000 miles and about 10 months old they replied it was a demonstrators car i sed fine no one has actually own it apart from arnold clark cause they have to register in their name. i was gona buy this on one condition if they fixed the minor fault of the blob of paint near the door and the chip at the tail lights they said yes so i was happy to buy it. neway it had to be cleaned usual PDI check before i was given to me.and the v5 document had to be signed but i wasnt signing it becuase i am under my dads insurance he neva signed it either. when i got the document through i was registered under my dad :confused: :confused: and it had 2 former owners on it :eek: which i wasnt told about making my dad the third owner on a 10month old car.

My dad and I were furious so i went along asking about this? i asked them about the owner before them they was as lost as me about this or so i was to believe i asked the few of them and they couldnt answer at first then when i ask the general manager he sed the wen a car comes into their court yard theres millions of pound of cars which is true in a sense but what he said was when they come the have to be registered to arnoldclark financial group any one heard of them????? :confused: i havent. they then go through by arnoldclark automobile group which is crap aswel u buy a brand new car ur the third owner lol i dont think so. i told my dad what they said and he actually laughed.

We decided to write to arnold clark himself to get this matter sorted out and my dad expressed neva to deal with the local kirkcaldy arnoldclark as he had a deep mistrust in them and it took them ages to replied and would u believe they directed us back the place where we got the car how stupid eh??????? the general manger wrote to saying sorry etc and we thot result more like insult he offered us a free service and valet lol how silly are they?? :confused: talking about valeting i clean my car cos it was about december ish before we got that and i bought it in late october.

I found all these documents of the first owner this is a big result and just shows they dont actually valet their cars. one document had the orig price which was 8788 sumthing along them lines and he bought brand spanking new and i was sold it for 7988. 800 pounds taken of for a third ownered car :eek: would any of youz pay that much? for being a third onwer. my punto had about as many onwer and it was 7 year old.

Am still waiting on this getting sorted out and still waiting on the paint job and there after sales are terrible went in for a year service i was getting a rental car for the day as i have a lot traveling to do and wen i arrived it wasnt even there i had to wait an hour for them to service it. ave heard millions of bad things about that particular garage and i wish i heard all that before i bought the car cos i cud of went sumwhere else and bought a fiat stilo

Sorry to talk on so much but i had to let u no how much of crooks that kirkcaldy fiat garage and it puts shame to fiat on what they are doing wrecking the fiat name

Is there no way you can refuse the car since they lied to you?

A trip to the local citizens advice bureau seems like a good first move.
 
well i also contacted trading standards and they sed since its taken so long its very doubtful that al beable to take it back so i think am stuck with it :mad: :mad:. but its been a vey slow process going tho arnold himself and then trading standards its taken mor than 3 months to get ths far
 
I'd copy that rant and put it in the Garage Section.

Besides the service how do you find the Stilo? Got a digi camera? Yes? Put pics in Memebers Motors! No? Beg, borrow steal one to post pics in Members Motors!

Oh and welcome, nice to see another fellow Scot!
