Dump, Reject, Lemon

This is the start, not the end.

44k is still 44k, get it back, save up some cash and buy a sorted one. i assume you "only"spent 44k because its what you can afford. This car will break you.

Trust us,
Reject

Just read this, sorry to hear of your woes. Glad to see you are rejecting it, as S4WON says this is the beginning not the end.

Shame you can't contact the previous owner, rocking seat reeks of abuse in my mind.

Get shot, start looking again.

Spot on to reject this POS, you will never be happy with the car no matter how well it goes in the coming months. I can appreciate its very disappointing but you will look back having avoided a very expensive mistake. I have experienced most dealer networks and would say they all are very similar apart from Lexus, but as someone else commented shame they don't make a decent car! I have come across 3 cracking sales blokes, one Audi, one Merc and one BMW and whilst they 'can't do enough for you' their dealer will always let them down at some point.

you're right! found this:

viewtopic.php?f=76&t=119539&p=789055#p789055

It read okay although the owner was 17st and 6'6 so that might explain the seat rocking.

Right, spoke with sales manager at Belfast this morning, car is being picked up next week, no questions asked, full refund agreed. Absolutely no word of an apology or explanation. F*cking disgrace. On the up side I wasn't totally happy with the air suspension so can now get one with DRC. We live, we learn!

Wow

No fight from them at all??

Good result though fella....I know it's caused you heartache BUT at least it cost them any margin they had, or a least bit into it.

Vestax,

Put your agreement (of today) in writing to them, by way of confirmation. I trust they will issue a full refund, and I hope that you have no issues in that regard, but it's worth confirming your understanding of your conversation today in writing. It's not over until the money's in your bank. (Check also that their insurance covers the transport etc.)

good result!

I've bought two cars in the past without seeing them via long distance purchases (from main dealers) including a C6 RS6 from Leeds Audi a couple of years ago and more recently a little run-around car from Kings Lynn both times the cars have been delivered exactly as expected with no subsequent issues. Think you just got unlucky on this instance
