Hi!
I have been thinking about a Panda for a while, and liked the look of a 2014 1.2 Pop. It had a good service history so I paid a deposit.
I remembered I didn't ask about the cambelt. Am I right to think if the car is over 5 years old it should be done. The car has done 33,000 miles so I think this is within the mileage allowed on a cambelt?
At the time I was viewing, the salesman on the forecourt said "whatever needs doing would be done", but now I have paid a deposit they are saying they can do the cambelt for a charge. There is no evidence it has been done, no receipt no job sheet.
I feel a bit let down, and don't want to spend £200+ on maintenance on a car I've just bought. I may as well buy privately.
I'd appreciate any opinion on this, thanks, Martin.
